There is no chance of that happening. Despite launching a year later than the Xbox, and at a much higher price, and not having any jRPGs apart from WKC, the PS3 is 3:1 up, and that gap will get even large with FF XIII and GT 5, M$ are not doing a great job closing the gap. They have made the console sell a tiny bit in Japan, but I doub tthe investment was worth it. The Xbox version of the game will sell nearly nothing in Japan compared to the PS3 version, and I am sure Sony are willing to make up some of the difference. Anyway, it is in SE's interest to boost PS3 sales in Japan, they will want a larger user base in future when they bring across the Last Remnant and Star Ocean, and then any future PS360 are going to have the majority of their sales on PS3, and of course they want to expand the market for when the PS3 exclusives Final Fantasy Versus XIII and Kingdom Hearst 3 come to the platform.

In terms of foreign sales, well SE have been shooting themselves in the foot by releasing IU, TLR and SO4 only on Xbox, when the potential playstation jRPG market is much greater as the brand has always been associated with jRPGs ever since Final Fantasy VII

Ahh  the good old argument of sony has had it since ffvii, guess what nintendo had it before that, seems that every 6 ff's (number wise) they change console, ff1 - ffvi (nin) ffvii - ffxii (sony)  ffxiii (sony and ms), the times, they are a changing.

I like how you already know that kingdom hearts will be on ps, generations mean a lot, look at abes odyssey, on ps1, one generation, on xbox the next. Generations change, might also in Japan, we do not know this. I wasn't asking considering these sales what would the next sales be, because look at sony this year, who predicted it being where it is now.

I asked what would happen in a certain reality, you decided to change the rules, read my post and possibly answer my question, dont make up rules so you can decide that ps4 will get ffxiv

If I keep saying that Kingdom Hearts 3 is a PS3 exclusive, it will become one!

Also, there is the fact that some of the reasons for the Japanese not buying the Xbox is xenephobia, and favouring their home console makers. Logically, they should be buying Xboxes, that has the best Japanese games on it, but they are not, because they do not want to buy from Microsoft, and that is not going to change
