Keep final fantasy exclusive to Sony platforms. I am sure Square enix will look at the sales of the 360 version and keep versus 13 exclusive to ps3. It doesnt make sense to waste money on porting a game when it will barely sell a million on the 360.


'waste' money? It's significantly easier to port/dev on X360, and if this gets to 400k/500k then was worth their while.

How can you justify 400k as worth their time??? Do you really think they will be happy with 400k sales with a user base of over 60 million? There is a sales gap of approximately 3 million between the 360 and the ps3 versions of the same final fantasy XIII game. That is a massive gap for such a hyped and well known franchise.  

Not every game (sku!) can sell millions you know. I don't know the amount of effort and time that went into -2 but given it's based on FFXIII and it's out not so long after, yeah I think 400k is fine, of course neither of us know if they've made money on that or not, I think it's likely they have, like I said porting to 360 is piss easy and probably didn't take much effort.

I think would have been foolish for them to believe 'exclusive hype' (for which you're really overestimating by the sounds of it) would have generated an extra 400k sales.
