Really? Seems to me Sony need S-E for the PSP far more than S-E need to be on it. Just look at crisis core, prequel to the by far most popular final fantasy, sold less than FF3 on DS and looks like FFIV on DS will also start getting close when Eu is added and in a few more months. Yet the development costs for FF:CC would have been FAR FAR more. Not to mention the advertising budget far far higher, in Japan you couldn't turn around without seeing a FF:CC advert.
As long as S-E have the DS the PSP isn't that important.
TBH I can't see why they wouldn't go multiplatform with versus. Especially since it seems it will be more like dirge of cerberus than a typical FF. So considering more than half of DoC sales weren't in japan, missing out on the 360 with versus would mean they were losing a huge chunk of sales.
Surely they must have taken note of DMC4s performance. Around a 55-45 split in favour of the PS3. If versus followed the same pattern S-E would be losing nearly half the possible sales.
