uh... money?
Obviously if Square thinks It's going to make more going with Sony they would have. Sony has to convince them otherwise.
It's just that simple.

Microsoft paid Rockstar for the 2 episodes, but from the information I have been reading on the internet, Microsoft is not paying SE.
The situation that is going on is this there has always been more 360s out there than ps3s in the western world so SE cannot deny making games for the 360, they see all those 360 sales so they cannot ignore the 360 and just go ps3 exclusive like in the past when ps2 had way more systems out there than the competition.
So SE has decided to go multiplatform, Microsoft has published Infinite Undiscovery, that's the only game from SE that microsoft have put money into, as for The Last Remnant that game came out on 360 first simply because development for the 360 was easier and SE had xbox dev kits long before they had ps3 dev kits, the same thing has happened with NAMCO, Ace Combat 6, Eternal Sonata, Tales of Vesperia, all came out before the ps3 versions, so it's not just SE that doing it, likewise Star Ocean 4 from SE, these games take time and you will be seeing no less than a 6 month gap to a year or longer before you see these games hit the ps3.
So it looks like SE is just putting all their games on 360 and ignoring the ps3 for whatever reason, but it's not that, its just that SE werent going to delay their games on 360 until the ps3 versions were finished, almost all the RPGs on 360 will eventually end up on the ps3.
Yes the next gen started with xbox 360 not ps3, SE didnt want to wait, neither did namco or capcom or any other developer for that matter, people have to pay their bills, and you cannot wait when you see an opportunity to make money now.
SE are leeches. They feed off of the companies they find to be the most profitable so they can make the most profit. First Nintendo, then Sony, now Microsoft.
Good call Sonic. Makes me wonder how quickly MS will be willing to put out their next console for those reasons alone.
It's just that simple.

What a blatant Ad Hominem attack...

Hey hey my name is not sonic you person you, lol just kidding.
They make more money sticking with MS because they obviously pay for Square Enix for all the exclusives.
These are still all arguments based on some ridiculous notion of SE "selling out" and "SE belong to the Playstation brand", like all the idiotic FF fanboys cried when FF13 was announced for 360 as well. Of course, what they really want isnt the 360 titles on PS3 as well, it's the 360 titles ONLY ON PS3. Retarded.
SE is a company that wants to make money, so they are putting stuff on 360. That's cool, i'm a strong advocate of multiplat titles, although i dont get why so many of their recent titles have been 360 exclusive, it makes as much sense as having FFvs13, KH3, and an eventual FF7 remake as PS3 only - as in, it doesnt make sense.
The only reason why the 360 titles would be timed exclusives would be easier development on the platform, specially because 360 was out first like "Sonic" (lol sorry couldnt resist) said, i dont really think MS paid them. Other than that, all of these - Last Remnant, SO4, FF13, FFvs13, etc should all be multiplat.

then the english ff13 its getting delayed til the 360 port it's done. so clearly isn't that those games up there are all JRPG that would get more benefit being multiplatfrom expecially in japan.
the only one that would hurt for such delay would be 360 since no one would buy in japan the 360 versions when ps3 version exist.
and microsoft it's putting money on SE, they are handling the advertisement, and likely some other things back age. there is not reason for timed exclusivity for those games. none at all.
especially since they are delaying the FF13 NA release. and FF13 demo not comming overseas!.
