How much do you think Microsoft paid for FF 13 on the Box?

Money is involved when a game goes MP. But it's not the kind of money that's involved in MS moneyhats every time. It's the kind of money a company makes like Ubisoft when Assassain's Creed debuts on the X360 and PS3 at the same time, and sells over 7 million copies worldwide.

Same thing for COD4 - launches on PS3/X360, and sells around 10m copies on those 2 systems. COD4 on just the X360 or PS3 wouldn't of made those kinds of sales.

Multiplatforming between 2 consoles is the new idea of exclusivity it seems. And Xbox 360 fans are the recipients of the goodness :)

This is bigger then AC or DMC4. This was PS3's Halo. This was PS3's Zelda.

 

Except unlike those two titles... this one isn't Sony owned.

So there is no need to buy it off. Simply just offer Square a way to make more money. Like Sony did back in the N64 era.

FF11 was on Xbox afterall wasn't it?

Had the Xbox or Gamecube been big competitors you probably woulda saw 12 on either console last gen.

Sony wants... not only wants but basically NEEDs to sell this to as many people as it can to get back dev costs and make a profit worthy of a headliner game.

Headliners need to be high risk, high reward.

Not High risk, profit somewhat over break even.
