Could someone PLEASE explain why FF on 360 was such a terrible idea.

Final Fantasy XIII being ported to the Xbox 360. A move that rewarded Square with death threats and an ambiguous outcome:

  • The game was delayed for a whole year. 
  • Extra dev costs for the 360 version
  • Games like MGS 4 indicating that the combination of exclusivity and a big name can bring in numbers.
  • Disappointing sales on the 360 (which even decreased with XIII-2)

People will argue that a lot have gone wrong with Square but my take is that this is one of the most important issues.

...

Facts.

The game itself was bad. The port didn't suddenly make a bad game worse.

Every last FF is the most critisized FF but claiming the game is flat out bad makes you part of a vocal (and at times stuborn) minority.

Especially in the first months of the game's release, which are important of revenue, the critical acclaim was above an average of 80%. An example of dissapoinitng sales that coincide with bad reviews is RE 6. Which is not the case, therefore you're wrong.
