The numbers are pretty good considering the x360's performance in Japan. M$ probably paid the differences anyway. M$ $$$ is $$$ all the same.

 

This is exactly what i've been saying. +1

Exactly.  it's pretty sad when a publisher has to accept a cash incentive to make a game instead of having to compete for the comsumers by making a quality product.  And even with Microsoft's cash incentives, SE are still in financial trouble probably because they sacrificed quality.

 

You are projecting your own biases there.

SE is in trouble because they mismanaged FFXIII into a development blackhole that's sucking the company dry. Over three years since the 360 released, over two years since the ps3 and wii released - and they just released their first internally-developed (IU and SO4 are Tri-Ace affairs) "proper" jrpg, The Last Remnant. 

Nevermind the other big IP, DQ, has been delayed to hell and back and gone through several revamps.
