They have always put their money in Sony's pot, but with the PS3 not selling that well in Japan, the western market is their next best bet, which means that the 360 is the safest route to take, because PS3 sales have been sluggish over here, also. |
That's even worse. And no, it doesn't make sense that they target only the western market, when they could target more people by making the games multiplatform. Especially since these are developed with multiplatform engines. So only money can explain that, but that's not a wise decision on their part.
They can't hope that their franchises and brand won't be tarnished, even with a timed exclusive.
To me, this move will only accelerate what I think was already happening to JRPG. This won't end well at all.
