What would Sony gain in buying exclusivity when the fanbase is already there? Can't see why they would do that. Waste of money.


 Reasons:

-Reinforce the demographic control(Aka "Here is where you plays X type of game")

-Improve the Exclusive Software line up.(Exclusives are always overpraised/overcared even if it doesn't deserve)

-New comers,people who never played FF before(like kids) will buy PS cause it's the only place to play it.

-If Type-0 sells 500k like you said on Xone,this is,potentially,500k people willing to buy PS4 to play Type-1.

 

By locking games like FF in their platform,they are,long term speaking,locking consumers on their platform.It's a vicious cycle,you bought "[insert console]" to play Type-0,that is where you will buy next FF,and next Persona,and next Tales of,and on and on....

A jrpg fan already got the ps4 to buy tales, persona and so. Seriously, ps4 doesn't need more jrpgs to reinforce anything, and they are still getting them exclusively.. This isn't 360 vs PS3 where 360 was getting a great support on the genre. Spencer doesn't care about these games.

A good bunch of the 400k buyers are multi already.. Simply they like achievements better.

They are better off using those 30M to buy a true exclusive with selling power, like shenmue.
