Bioshock was bought as a timed exclusive as well. You also mean to tell me all those Japanese developpers chose the 360 over PS3? Please, the 360 is a joke in Japan and without getting payments from Microsoft they would be suffering huge losses for no reason.

360 may be a joke in Japan based on console sales, but the Japanese are barely helping the cause for Sony with 2.6 M consoles sold, huh? This is why Enix made the games for Europe and North America only. They omitted Japan. Japanese developers are choosing the brand making more money and having a more frequent sales value in games as opposed to the other. This way they can ensure their sales numbers if Sony falls short.

 

I'm not refering to just Square Enix games, just take a look at all the JRPG's exclusive to 360, most are only released in Japan. It's crazy to not think MS payed them to keep it that way.
