I think they knew. However, I don't think keeping the game exclusive in Japan had nothing to do with sony. S-E probably just felt that the 360 was dead there. Why? Sony arguably couldn't care if FF13 was exclusive on 360 in JP because NOTHING seems to sell a 360 in that region. Sony would be better off securing the exclusive in America. Whats the point of a Japanese exclusive? It gains no advantage whatever for sony over M$ that wasn't there before.

"WAR is a racket. It always has been.
It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives"---Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler
