So, what do you think how many SE/FF/KH fans would have chosen an Xbox instead of a PS this generation if the same SE games would have released on Xbox?

There are obviously some but is it a number worth to talk about? It's really only worth to talk about if Xbox sales would be like 5-10m higher by now and not if Xbox would be +2m by now and PS -2m in sales. That's just irrelevant for MS to pump money in all these games. 

It would have been a significant number, a number that possible made some other devs not skip xbox, that again lead to more software sales and more console purchases and so on...

which third party games exactly do we talk about which missed Xbox and are so relevant to have millions of customers buying a PS instead of an Xbox. I mean, even if they would be on Xbox, most who bought them would own a PS instead of an Xbox but still curious which games we talk about which are the reason for so many buying a PS even though they would prefer an Xbox. 

Don't get me wrong, I would also like to see more games in the Xbox ecosystem but to me it's pretty clear that almost all who play these games would own a PS even if they would be on Xbox as well. 

MS knows that their console sales could be better. They lose many simply because all their games release on PC day one so that someone like me doesn't need an Xbox anymore. I'm sure that costs many more sales as some Japanese games missing Xbox. And yet MS is happy with it and doesn't take their games away from Steam. 

And Sony will also start to release all their games on PC day one. Maybe not now but in 5 years or maybe in 10 but the time will come and Sony will also lose some console sales and still be more successful with it.
