FF: The Spirits Within did a helluvalot more to damage to the FF brand. XIII being on the 360 because PS3's install base wasn't enough at the time was just the icing on the cake.

Not big enough?? Is that why the PS3 version outsold the 360 in every region?? Despite the moneyhatting advertisement and it being heavily bundled with 360s (in the US)

It wasn't big enough at the time to justify keeping the game exclusive, especially with the high development costs... that's why Square made the decision to take the game to the 360 in the first place.  It was always going to sell more on the PS3 anyway, because that's the platform of choice for FF's target audience, the JRPG crowd.  The extra couple million or so that it sold on the 360 was just extra change in Square's pocket.

um no, MS was the ones who asked SE for FF13, not the other way around. Had MS not done so, I imagine that FF13 would have done just as well. As it had being multiplat
