Except they're going exclusive on a platform that's doing even worse than the PS3 in Japan. Whatever Japanese sales of the game are, they'd probably be around double that on the PS3 (in Japan).
The game should be multiplatform.
As far as sales go.... I don't think it will break a million worldwide. However many copies it ends up selling, it would probably almost double that total if it were multi-platform. Is Microsoft really moneyhatting SE so extensively that it's worth losing out on 500-750k additional sales?
The only company that benefits from this at all is Microsoft, since they're doing everything they can to hamstring the PS3 in Japan.
