I wasn't arguing who paid for what on which system... I was arguing the poster's point about Japanese companies needing Japanese sales to succeed. It's just not true and Capcom has proven that over and over again. While some of their games sell decently in Japan, the bulk of their sales are the PAL and NA markets.
And I doubt MS paid anything for DMC... Capcom has been going multi-plat with all their games recently (excluding LP and DR, but there wasn't another decent-selling HD system out to put them on at the time). They've announced that virtually every major game will be 360/PS3 multi-plat this generation. Given the amount of money they spend making a game, their strong sales in western markets and the 360's strong position in said markets, it makes sense for everything to be 360/PS3.
