This game, when all is said and done, would have costs upwards of 100 million to do. Square Enix will not want to limit themselves on PS4 to recoup their costs as they will not be able to. If ever if it is exclusive, it will be timed (1 year), much like the Tales games that appeared on the 360 first, only to appear on the PS3 with exclusive content a year later.
In essence, this game will be multi-platform. It is fake. |
If there ever was a game that made absolutly no sense to be timed exclusive it would be this game. Also, 100mil? Bullshit number made up. SE would recoop that in Japan alone.

Final Fantasy X development costs were confirmed to be 33 million during the PS2 era. Compared to the SD era, HD games development costs have more than doubled. Furthermore, this game has been in production for over 6 years - time, money and resources were allocated to the project nonetheless. In the end, with development costs, marketing, luminous engine and production, the game will have had a budget of 100 million. It's common sense.
And no, SE will not be able to recoup these costs in Japan alone. Your theory is flawed and without merit.

Actually if Sony pays for marketing in exchange for exclusivity, 100 million is not that hard. About 28$ is what SE gets for a copy sold. It means they have to sell about 3,5 million worldwide. It will come out at the end of 2014 probably, one year after the console realeses, so a 8-10 million installbase is given if everything is okay. FF titles usually make 5m+ and if the marketing is well done, another million will buy the console, just to play FFXV. No, you're right 3,5m is impossible for Japan. But for WW? I think its easy. So exclusivity is a strong possibility, and I think from that 100 million, Sony already payed 10-15 million, when the game was called Versus XIII and was exclusive to the PS3.
Sony really should collect its debts. This would be a great one.
The other would be Rockstar, but that's another story.
