will it stay exclusive? it could really get a lot more sales if it comes to both platforms.


I sincerely doubt that, jrpgs sell horrible on 360 even FFXIII which was advertised to hell only sold 1/4 of what the ps3 version did and I think most of those 360 sales were of multi console owners anyways. This game is fairly obscure and not many people will know about it on launch, the 360 demographic would completely ignore it.

But there are good selling jrpgs on the 360, lost oddyssey sold good, also, FF XIII was the first mayor final fantasy to be on an xbox plattform (i don´t count XI) most of the fan base was already gonna buy it for PS3, and it ended up selling almost 2 million on 360, those are huge numbers even if a small fraction of the total, and square enix must be veery happy with that result.

Look, i´m not saying it would sell more on the 360, but as you say, an "obscure" rpg like it could see a benefit from being on the more popular platform too, i would totally buy it if it comes to the 360 (because i don´t have a PS3) but i see your point also... and i know iit´s not the same as Final Fantasy, but who knows? maybe if marketed well they can find the audience to buy it.

I hope i made sense with what i just wrote.



360 and ps3 have nearly identically sized fanbases and once you factor in the 360s failrate it actually leans towards ps3s being a little bigger so I really wouldn't call 360 a more popular platform, frankly the game would be better off porting to the wii or wiiU then 360. 360 just doesn't have a good fanbase for rpgs, they mostly want shooters and nothing that isn't advertised alot sells that well. Leaving it as a ps3 exclusive for whatever perks Sony is giving them and avoiding the cost of porting is a better choice for a game like this, games like this have thrived because of being ps3 exclusives in the past and not one has a success story on 360 (notice that all the devs stopped making jrpgs on 360, they aren't even making them multiplat with the 360 anymore)
