How would that be "horrible for sales" when one is on the PS3 and one is on the DS, when one is portable and one must be played at home, when one will cost 40$ (DS games) and the other will cost 60$(PS3)?

I don't think they will have adverse effects on each others sales. Even less so when you consider that PS3 owners are just waiting for the opportunity to spend some cash on a good JRPG, let alone one of the best known and loved franchises.

It's not that it would be horrible for sales.

It's that it would be horrible for the companies stock price. DQ and FF13 would rocket up yearly sales...

then next years sales and revenue would be drastically lower crashing the stock price.

Which is why SE said they weren't going to release a main FF and a main DQ in the same fiscal year.

 

doubt it. Even if the game is released late 08. Euro and US won't see the game well into 09, which will take a very positive hit on the Financial Report.

Frankly, having a HUGE game done and holding it until the next fiscal year, while missing the holiday season is just dumb.
