Power and ventilation are not related and even if they were, it'd actually be worse in the console with less ventilation. 

And if you have experience with a PS4, you'd know the entire backside is a large vent. Grats.

One large vent vs three large vents?

They might aswell make the future FF exclusive. Crazy ratio incoming.

They thought the same during the 360 days... They were wrong...

Well, good then that I don't have a stage in my house. Crisis averted.

Actually, I had a response, but you know what? No. You can argue the Xbox One would run it better, except you know it wouldn't, because unless Microsoft paid for it nothing runs better on Xbox One.

In what way were they wrong?

They weren't wrong. Despite being during a period when X360 still had higher numbers than PS3, the PS3 versions of each game outsold their X360 counterparts. And it wasn't by a small amount, either; the closest race was still 2:1 in PS3's favor. In fact, only one of the three games on X360 broke a million worldwide, and it was still outsold by XIII-2 on PS3.

 

Final numbers for the trilogy on X360 managed to only hit 3.16M, whereas the PS3 trilogy hit 9.01M. That's nearly a 3:1 sales ratio, meaning that a system with less units sold almost 75% of the series.

I didn't say it'd run better.

In the "let's make FF exclusive again!" and how they started releasing everything for the console because even though it obviously didn't outsell the PS3 version (expectations dammit!) they still sold enough to make them a lot more money. 

Final Fantasy is not Tales. You might as well say "make Skyrim PS4 exclusive" to the same effect.

Because of expectations (announced as an exclusive) and because the reception was pretty terrible... 

Now, illuminate me as to why exclusivism is a good thing (right now, anything that hurts Microsoft's competition can only represent a gain. Sony has acted cocky recently and they need to be dragged in the mud to show them their place) and show everyone where I said the game will run better on the Xbox One...

Should also be noted that at least in the US, Microsoft also had marketing rights to FFXIII and a bundle. This time, those advantages will no longer apply for FFXV which will definitely play a significant role in the sales ratio. Sony is releasing a FFXV LE slim bundle, though that thing is ridiculously expensive ($449). However, it is still possible that they will release a standard bundle for the rest of the holiday season and that will definitely skew the ratio to the PS4's favor.

OT: The sales ratio for Type-0 in the US was 80:20 in PS4's favor. Looking back Chartz's FFXIII numbers, US sales took up 40% of the total sales. I'm willing to believe these numbers since Aquamarine mentioned that Chartz's numbers for older games are pretty close. I'm going to assume that the ratio for the rest of the world will be 95:5 in PS4's favor, so that will put the worldwide ratio to 89:11.

The XB1 version should perform good enough to sell over Microsoft's minimum print order. If that doesn't happen, well.... tough luck.

This gen ps4 is dominating and the ratio will be much higher.  look at the last FF to release on ps4/xb1. 90/10 launch ratio.  insane numbers and at the point making it exclusive and putting all resources into 1 version would actually be worth it.  

 

Especially when some of the buyers on XB1 would get it on ps4 anyway if it was exclusive.

So many optimistic people. What Xbox owners would buy the game and why?

Me, I have a ps4 but I would love to see more jrpgs go to the xbox one

So you're getting it for X1 instead of PS4?
