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.

The problem with that is it destroys the public awareness of the series if no one is playing it. So MS money may be good for square in the short term but in the long term square is really screwing itself, besides MS won't always be around to hand squarenix money.

And then when the game goes multiplat, nobody on ps3 buys it because it's already old.
