Uum in Japan (where Versus XIII will matter the most) the PS3s userbase is higher than the 360's and how have the sales of ANY SE JRPG (IN ANY REGION) on the 360 lead you to that conclusion?

 

 SE is not going to make the decision based on either consoles userbase in JAPAN. PS3 sells like shit, and 360 sells even worse. This is a Final Fantasy game, it will sell in America, and it will sell in Europe. So the question they would be asking is, is it worth it giving up on the 40 million + plus userbase the 360 will likely have by the time this game launches? I think it's foolish for anybody to make any arguments regarding HD exclusivity that hinges on sales in Japan.

 

Your digging yourself in it deeper and deeper, best you stop while your behind.

Really? I kinda thought the non-answers were more telling about whose doing the digging. The simple matter of fact is SE is not gonna decide FFvXIII's exclusivity on what, 4 million PS3's vs. 1.2 million 360s sold in Japan. They're gonna look at the combined market of 30 million PS3's and 40 million 360's and say "Hey, Final Fantasies usually sell pretty damn good outside of Japan. Why don't we consider that we might double our sales by making it multiplatform?" "Double you say? That's good. I like money, our shareholders like money."

I want to know why you are so certain that the game will stay exclusive when going multiplat offers SE so much more in terms of potential profits? The only way this game is staying exclusive is there is a deal in place that says it cant go anywhere else, or a deal is being put in place for that to happen. Otherwise, the logical business decision is to at least consider the possibility after seeing how well FFXIII sells on the 360.
