I expect FF14 to do really well on PS3 honestly. I think it was a wise move by SE to go with PS3. The 360 install base in japan is still a bit small, and they know that a huge chunk of their player base will be from japan so a PS3 market there is important. The PS3 is slowly picking up stateside here too, and I know of around 10 to 11 people who are now buying it just for FF14.
The game went into development before the PS3 was launched and most likely was being designed for it well before launch, so they couldn't have really expected 360 to be so much higher in sales. I think this is why 360 will likely be a port coming out in 2011 instead of 2010.
There isn't really a successful console MMO right now, so the market is huge and ready to be taken advantage of. I know many console players who want to do the WoW thing but just don't want to invest in a PC, so this could turn out decent. I think the only reason FF11 wasn't a bigger hit on 360 was because the game was so outdated by the time it came out on 360. The price for it on PS2 was a bit much, and I don't think console players were online oriented back then like they are now.
