This game is going to boost PS4 sales anyway, so unless MS had tried to get it exclusively, Sony wouldn't have paid any money for it, specially knowing JRPGs sell way better on PS consoles than XBox ones.

If this title was a les known game, SE would have tried to make it exclusive. But FFVII is one of the most popular games of all time, it will sell more than a million on every platform it's on based on name alone.

Can you imagine how much that would cost MS?

If Final fantasy sells like 5 - 10 times as much on about equal market share, then when the PS4 is at near double the Xbox one user base.... that would mean for every sell of a game on Xbox they are loseing 10 - 20 times as many copies sold on a PS4.

The price to buy such a "exclusive" would be enormous.

It would start some ugly sh*t storms of bad PR as well.... there would be alot of angry fans.

I know, right? If people raged about the Tomb Raider timed exclusivity, could you imagine what would happen if FFVII became a full XBone exclusive? Aaah, those are the flamewars one can only dream of. XD
