No I think it was the PS3 that hurt the Final Fantasy brand along with many other brands and third parties for that matter. If they had only picked a more conventional architecture for their console it would have saved many companies from having to basically reinvent the wheel with their game engines to get them to run on PS3.
Imagine how many billions would have been saved and how much more time could have been spent working on the actual game content had developers not had to contend with coming to grips with the PS3 hardware itself. Hopefully Sony has realized this and their console is as easy to develop for as the 360.
