| Shadowblind said: I'll first answer with an idiot's reply: CUZ DEY MONEYHATZ IT Alright, now that I've got the uninformed moron's reply out of my system, I'll say that compared to last gen, yes. Compared to other consoles this gen, possibly. The 360 has well outsold twice the original xbox. Because Microsoft managed to get their console to a comparable sales place against Sony's, whose was the highest selling last gen and before that, SE has realized that keeping exclusivity would be self-destructive, something it would not have been last few generations where the winner had well outsold the competition, at the very least, 2-to-1. Previously they would have had no real reason to send any Final Fantasies Microsoft's way, seeing as they were already selling incredibly well on a console that outsold the xbox over 5-to-1. This generation, obviously, sales are different. Contrary to popular belief SE isn't doing anything they haven't been doing for a very long time; that is, betting on a winning horse, or in this case, horses. Thus is why most games now are multiplatform. Well, that and to help make up high HD game production costs. |
But what of RPG's that stay in Japan or that are expected to make most of their money in Japan. Why make those Microsoft exclusive?
