(Japan) it makes no sense for SE to keep FF XIII exclusive

It would be more important for Sony that the game remained exclusive in Japan as, like Dallinor said, thats the area that will push the most hardware and possibly even the software (since FF games always have an opening of ~1.8-2.0 million)

It is a shame that the game is not completely exclusive to the PS3 as it would be better for Sony if it had remained that way... Oh well, it is a better thing for Square-Enix though as it maximizes the sales of the game! At least FFXIII Versus is still exclusive (for now at least)

Like GTA going multi and maximizing sales? Nope, still sold 12 million combined like Vice City

Or DMC4? Nope. Still sold roughly 2.5 million like previous titles.

Console numbers may be different but fanbases stay the same. If a person has a PS3 and a 360, it's still only one sale of the game. If he onl has one console it's still one sale. If you're going to buy FF, you're going to buy it, no matter what platform it's on, so ultimately they sales numbers in the end remain the same.

Edit: The only time a game gets "maximized" by going multi is if say GTA4 sold 24 million because Vice City only sold 12 million. Maximizing =/= getting the same amount of profit

 

You don't think that those games would have sold less on just one console?  There is no way that GTAIV makes it to nearly 12 million on only the PS3.
