Is the XBO version of FFXV a mistake?

I think the problem with Square Enix and other Japanese third parties in general is the fact they chose to stay exclusively with the Playstation platform for too long. You now have games like Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy being outsold by Call of Duty and Skyrim. It would make no sense at this point to not port Final Fantasy XV unless they want to further diminish the series.

They stayed in the 90's through out the 2000's. They dismissed Xbox platform because Japanese folks didn't adopt it.

However, what they didn't see clearly was that, the gaming world was expanding and Japan was not the center anymore.

Exactly, I think one of the biggest mistakes of last gen was making Metal Gear 4 a Playstation exclusive and now it's no surprise (at least to me) to see Konami now looking like it might fall apart.  It's too bad that an innovative brand like Xbox wasn't more successful in Japan last generation as innovation is what Japan really needed.

cause Metal Gear games sell so well on non Sony consoles. They dont nothing would have changed and the sales for a 360 version still would have been 1/3 or the PS one, there are just some franchises that are just too tied to PS brand to the point it doesnt matter what else its released on, people need to accept that. Metal Gear, Tekken; hell just about any fighting game not made by a westeren dev, most JRPGs etc. Now thats not to say those games shouldnt be on xbox systems just keep expectations in check
