I just don't believe they'd be stupid enough to release it as a exclusive title, its been a money pit so far, so developing for as many formats as possible would make the most sense. Time will tell but I doubt the market will look on SE favourably for the decision if it is exclusive.

Why do people keep peddling this lie? Going Multiplat for every title does not instantaneously equal more sales, and often times can be found as a cause for it selling/making less over all. Every single PS exclusive from last gen sold even or WORSE this gen, except for MGS ironically enough which remained exclusive. FF, Tekken, GTA,DMC,etc. Here are a couple of key points to why this is....

It's not a lie, it's called common sense.  I never said it would guarantee more success but it certainly gives it more chance of being a success.  The reason those franchises suffered is they were inferior to other games released this gen and indeed their prequels in most of those cases, pure and simple. 

The most successful IP this generation has been Call Of Duty, which is of course mulitplatform.....

final fantasy doesn't belong on the xbox

sales reflect that

 

What does that have to do with the debate we were having?  It is irrelevant.  The best selling region for FF is Japan, where the PS3 dominates the 360, of course it's sales will be more heavily loaded towards the PS3, lets not forget it was also originally hyped as PS3 exclusive and it was the superior version.  The 360 sold enough to be profitable and justify the port.  You have no point.
