2.multiplatform don't take advantage of the systems strengths for example , take a look at MGS2:S it was ported to the XBOX and it sucked , that's because the game was designed for the PS2 ,now unless you want FF to turn into a half-assed EA sports game it's better sticks to one console. for example FFXI was ported to the 360 to take advantge of it's online capabilities and the Wii FFCC game is a multiplayer game and it fits the Wii

3.the XBOX360 is doing horribly in Japan (and that's where the majority of the fanbase is) and the Wii can't even handle the trailer

4.the main FFs have always appeared on the system with the most storage space and seeing as this game is going to be very big, the game apearing on a dual-layer blu-ray 50GB disk doesn't seem like a impossible thing

5.Sony's relationship with Square(and most 3rd parties) are very good, they even own 8% of SE stocks

6.There was never a multi platform release of an FF game(remember port=/multiplatform)

Have you seen comparisons between 360 and PS3? 360 mops the floor with the PS3. Why do you think S-E recently licensed the Unreal engine?

2. What system strenghts. As of so far, every multiplatform game looks better on the 360. Thats a fact, just go to the link above.

3. At the Blue Dragon launch, 360 sold over 10,000 units, proving that a good RPG will sell systems in Japan. I'm sure Eternal Sonata, Lost Oddysey will sell great there as well.

4. It's called compressed data, which is something alot of developers are not doing. Plus, Square has released multiple discs before, and I have no problem having to switch discs once in awhile.

5. Square is not going to make a lick of profit with the way PS3 sales are doing now. Fact is, development costs are way too high for next gen games, and FFXIII is no exception. There is just no way XIII will make a profit if it stays exclusive.

6. Don't even have to answer that, your research is wrong.

I mean honestly, PS3 is just one big joke.
