It doesn't mean more money, it means more likely that people will choose one version over the other. If you space them out, more likely people will buy both. Ni No Kuni on DS is not a great example it was never going to sell a lot, DQXI on 3DS can sell 3-4 million copies alone. |
It's the PS3 version that was the tragedy. Had they been released on the same day or around the same time they would have both profit from the same marketing push rather than splitting it or altogether focusing on the first version coming out like they did with Ni No Kuni. The hype was just completely gone by the time the PS3 version came out.
