Your explanation on the FF theory pushes more the argument that Swery went to MS due to Kinect. (Which he himself expressed so). I don't really trust that one since the game can be played on controller, but still. |
No problem with your opinion... just that FF VII going to PS and never having a FF main entry on Nintendo (besides the remakes that were already on Ninty before) have no correlation to this case.
And yes Swery could have choose because of Kinect, or because he believed it would sell better on X1 because it sold better on X360, or because MS paid some money or helped with some details (being the publisher it is quite certain that they paid the bills)... just said that the "fairness" on the analysis isn't about being fair to one side or another (as I agree it wasn't fair on Square part to alienate Ninty fanbase on FF after 6 iteractions, but it was fair on nintendo for not coming to terms with square... and seeing how bad the relations were with mostly all other 3rd parties I can't put the blame on Square here), the "fairness" in the case of DP sales is just regarding that it isn't smart to analyse completely different set of data or condition without considering the differences. But as you said, even if almost all niche done better on PS3, maybe this game would do better on X360 even if they released at the same time not with 3y delay, it isn't possible to confirm.
PS: Sorry if it sounded agressive in my first post... the words were probably bad picks. I know you are an educated poster and inteligent as well.
