Square ported the PC version of FF16 to the Xbox Series consoles which probably greately reduced their development costs. And they still probably wont recoup the dev costs associated with porting it to Xbox. While its true that Sony has had some deals with Square for exclusivity, there is absolutely 0 incentives for Square to put their games on Xbox. In fact, legend has it that it was Square who approached Sony for the FF16 deal.... when you think about it, they probably made more money on the deal with Sony then they would by releasing it on Xbox. I think Square is more sly than we give them credit for. THEY are the ones who were seeking exclusivity because they already have done the math and they know its in their best interest.
They don't have to do that so much going forward now that they can ship on Switch 2 as well. Stil expect PlayStation to get the first go at FF7R:3.
