I must say S-E have lost a BIG amount of toe Star Ocean fanbase Its evident from japan numbers n unless we see some LO type legs in NA....it will be evident there too

Now the reason for SO4 being not on PS3 was stated as them not getting the dev kits for the PS3 on time but we all know there could be a deeper root.....

now what my questions is that.,(based on a theory widely accepted here)

Is it worth it for S-E/Namco to sacrfice their franchises fanbase just for some extra cash (that MS gave to them)?

 

 It's impossible to tell because we dont know what MS gave them. We can only speculate.

   If new 360 exclusives from these companies will appear then it definitely was worth it for them. But right now I'd say it was considering namco's comments on ToV sales and SE's will to keep their 360 support in Japan.

I know we will never know whether its worth it or not for them.

But my point is.....is it worth drastically reducing your fanbase.....not looking at LONG TERM & franchise expansion just for the sakes of MS's extra money

now I'm not against FF13 going multiplat....or such games.....as they are "expanding" their fanbase

but keeping JRPG's exclusive to 360 lowers japanese sales & fanbase.....in fact when they should be trying to expand the base

also S-E is talking as if PS3 has sold 0 consoles in NA/EU......n only 360 is present there

when in fact its sold around 17 million at the least
