ChrisIsNotSexy: It really doesn't make sense what you're saying. If it was PS3 EX the PS3 sales would be higher but not by over 600k first week !!! You really think that people would buy PS3 for this game ? :D They wouldn't. Maybe 50k but not over 1m where X360 version is going, heh.



Yeah, pretty much.  SE really did handle FFXIII almost perfectly; Sony likely "paid" to keep the JP exclusivity (in the form of advertising support and a big deal bundle) then Microsoft likely "paid" to get the game to 360 in the west (in the form of advertising support and a big deal bundle).  For SE it's really been win:win, and I don't think FFXIII could've been handled better marketing wise.  I think that's why some lend credence to FFvsXIII following the same route, it really does make a lot of sense...
