Just recently, Square Enix star, Tetsuya Nomura, told the press a Final Fantasy XIII demo is on the way, sometime this year, but what exactly was meant by this has been left up in the air. A demo for Expos? A PSN release? Square Union dives into the mind of Square Enix and unearths what the gaming giant is more than likely going to do with the demo. The answer lies with Square Enix's history, and that's where a tie in with multi-platform Square Enix title - The Last Remnant - comes into play.

Square Enix have just killed 360 sales of this game.

You just killed a lot of credibility here. Demos don't help sales that much*, but they sure don't HURT sales of those without, especially since you are forgetting there needs to be a system ownership overlap, which you have NOT proven.

In other words, your sceneario (a demo in one, but not the other) would only apply to owners of BOTH the PS3 and 360. Those with just the 360 wouldn't avoid this game just because it didn't have the demo. They would avoid it if they were not going to buy it IN THE FIRST PLACE.

 

* Have you actually looked at the sales of games with a demo packed in? They're respectable, but not hits. And no, DQVIII doesn't count, since it only had the demo in North America, and ony sold about 500k there.
