to all those hating on square for backing the 360:

what do you want them to do, say no to money?



MS: ey square, you want a few million dollars to make a game (timed) exclusive for us?
Square: hm, but the 360 doesn't sell the types of games we make...

Square thinks for a minute.... : sales = money.. so we want sales.. but if they want to pay us for the money we would make anyway for sales....

Square: how much money is that again exactly?


think about it. sure they want to sell their game. but they only want to sell it to make money. if someone were to pay them the money they were going to make anyway from sales, why not? it's a hell of a lot better too coz the money is going to be there before development, so essentially square has nothing to lose.

Nothing to lose? HELLO?!!?!

 

How about the credibilty of their games, and the loss of the fans that could have purchased future installments?

lol, what's all that stuff compared to money? and it's not like the games suck just because they're on the 360. and if you look at final fantasy 13 tracking above final fantasy 12 in the west despite the "betrayal", it's pretty clear that they haven't lost any credibility whatsoever.

square is a business. it isn't a PR company that wants to please the fans first. they want to make money first and foremost. again, if someone will pay you for all the sales you would've lost, then there's no loss at all. it's super super better because square has no risk anymore. even if the game flops, hey, we got paid for it anyway and it's not like the game was different just because it was on the 360.
