~60,000 people bought Magnacarta II in Japan (this was before the SO4 PS3 announcement but well after the ToV PS3 announcement) and many 360 owners in the west have said that they're going to buy Magnacarta II (for 360) even after the SO4 announcement. So I think the belief that people are going to avoid 360 jrpg exclusives from now on is false. Most gamers aren't going to wait for the possibility of a port. Just look at the GTA games. PS2 versions sold a lot more than the "complete" Xbox versions. I'll probably get Magnacarta II but I'm waiting for a half-price drop at the very least (as I do with most games I buy).

Yeah, but thats just the thing. Sony purchased a four year exclusivity deal with Rockstar games and made the bulk of the money on the PS2 whilst Microsoft and the Xbox ended up looking like shit. It was sad to see GTA sales on the Xbox (I barely played my Xbox when I had it anyway, but still). Microsoft does a similar thing in making sure there was exclusive DLC on their system and they get looked at by PS3 fanboys like they did some massive wrong to the industry, where Sony never even allowed original Xbox owners to even touch a GTA title for four years. At least Microsoft didn't pull that same greedy shit and paid to have a superior version of the game made. The DLC came out too little too late for my taste, but over two million people got to enjoy 'Lost and Damned' and will now enjoy 'The Ballad of Gay Tony'.

big companies will always do that because they are assholes, Sony is no different than MS indeed =). you are absolutely right, and they are just as bad as one another, people need to get over it and just enjoy the gaming aspect of it lol.
