OMFG I thought they paid them billions? Who could have EVER guessed??

 

they have obviously paid for the simultanious release though.

Oh OBVIOUSLY. And by obviously (a word that should only be used when something is a fact) you have complete knowledge of this. But of course it's just your opinion, so it's irrelevant when you act like it's a fact.

 

 

No we don't know it for sure, but it makes logical sense

SE's rationality for going Multi-Platform was to reach the widest HD install base possible. If that is the case, then it shouldn't matter if the game is a simultaneous release or not. They could release the PS3 version, then 3 months later release the 360 version, (as an estimation of differences in completing the 2 versions) and still get the maximum sales potential. A simultaneous release doesn't help SE in anyway, it helps Microsoft.

It's also hypocritical for them to release FFXIII simultaneously, but have TLR timed-exclusive and SO:TLH Exclusive with a chance of porting "some time down the road." So unless SE just likes to screw with Sony, money/agreements happened at some point.
