Square wanted this game on Xbox360.
Believe it.
I believe it! They took a look at the awesome sales of JRPGs on the 360 such as Eternal Sonata (260k) and Lost Odyssey (750k) and there wasn't a doubt in their mind about going multi-plat. The interesting thing is lost odyssey had a big advertising push that went from the creator of Final Fantasy comes LO and it still sold under a million. Even the piracy plagued PSP managed to sell over a million FF Crisis Cores.
But I digress.
