I realize you're still sore over FFXIII going multiplat and are at pains to find a reason why it's a bad thing, but surely, surely you don't truly believe this. Making your product available to a sizeable new market will always result in more sales (though not necessarily more profit, of course). Otherwise third parties could kill off their support for either the PS3 or 360 and be none the worse for it. In fact, if multiplatform games truly don't result in more sales, then third parties only succeed in increasing their development costs by about 10% by supporting both platforms (and doing a PC port as well in many cases).
By the way, according to VG Chartz, DMC 4 has outsold both 2 and 3.
