Good question: Would the CEO encourage holding Final Fantasy from being released if he thought it would fair better later in the PS3's life?

No, because it will sells millions of PS3s. FF creates its install base whereever it goes.

That so?  The last FF game sold barely as much as FFX-2... I'd say FF is subject to the same criteria any game is:  It needs to be good, it needs to be affordable (and on an affordable system), and it needs to be simple enough for mass market acceptance.  I've played every FF game ever made, and am a fanboy of the series without a doubt, but I will drop FF in a flash before I pay 700 bucks to play it (600 for console 60 for game plust tax).  I will do the same for Zelda, Mario, Metroid, MGS, God of War, and EVERY other game genre I like if i have to make that choice.  I am a commited gamer, but I have financial limits as a college student.
