Well it certainly brings way more attention to your game. Hence the multiple articles and threads. Didn't see many people talking about this game when it was announced at E3.

Talking about it like "never going to buy it" "screw you, square enix" "you done goofed, square enix" etc. I really doubt that is going to help.

When it releases for Xbox I'm sure Xbox gamers will flock to mock other gamers. And then when it re-releases after the exclusivity is up, I'm sure plenty of PS and PC gamers will flock to mock the Xbox gamers. Both situations bring a ton of press which helps.

It will lose out on potential PS sales though. Releasing it outside the holiday season + a late port is not a good recipe.
