See, now this is where it gets tricky. I dont think Sony will let this happen. I bet we will see Playstation FF13 commercials, like we see xbox MW2 commercials.
MSFT secured FF13 most likely for the same reason they came out with the xbox. Prophylactically. In the states sure, FF13 may have pushed some consoles but now its on the 360 it wont force any 360 owners to buy a PS3. And in EU the same thing.
This move by MSFT was never about selling on par, it was about stopping 360 users or consumers from buying a PS3. And it was brilliant.
Fanboys will point to the sales (which in my opinion will be +4 Million for the PS3 WW) As a fail for MSFT, but in my mind the potential damage from an exclusive FF releasing in the spring for PS3 along with GT would have sunk MSFT in Europe to go with Japan.
Briliant move by MSFT, its not about sales.
