Less of a risk? you will get guaranteed HW moved from an exclusive, and 1.75 times the software sold, and keep MS from gaining SE as a bigger partner.

For big games like this, it pays to have them as an exclusive, or else, all of the Halo's , MAGs, etc would be multiplat.

Also, I can guarantee that FF 14 won't be a multiplat, SE will not want to deliver a substandard linear FF if it doesn't have to.

also i hope you know the real reason why mag and halo aren't multi......

yeah, basically because Sony and MS respectively have decided that these titles are worth the expense of keeping them exclusive.  Otherwise, MS wouldn't have any problem w/ letting Sony bid for multiplat.         

This doesn't refute anything that i've said, at all.  It still boils down to a business decision, of what will bring the most $$$$$$$ to Sony and MS.
