Final Fantasy XIII could have easily got a boost in reviews and sales for being one of the first few visually appealing games had it been released a year or two earlier. The linearity criticism would have been downplayed as well because most people probably would have been more fascinated by graphical advancements to bother criticizing the game for what it is.
If the development delays of this game were somewhat due to the game going multiplatform, then going multiplatform was not a good move in my opinion. From sales number perspective, Final Fantasy XIII has a good shot at beating Final Fantasy XII. At least, it looks like they did not lose money on this game so it is not a total failure. Unfortunately, we do not know exactly what Square-Enix was expecting so it is hard to say if they should be content with this result or not because Final Fantasy XII sales is not exactly the best in the series.
