And ...you admit the game may turn out the same regardless of exclusivity or not. Which is true. But you turn around and say that we'll never know, and that's somehow a problem. I don't see how ignorance of something that itself is unknown or possibly even invalid, clarifies a real problem
Oh believe me, Square is as much to blame for this as Microsoft, I just don't expect much from them. I'm more disappointed in Sony for not doing anything about this. Its not like Sony wouldn't be able to match Microsoft's offer.

And I think companies stopping other companies from at least having their console have a chance of reaching its full potential is a problem. Its sad to think that years from now people will be laughing at Sony at their claims for the PS3 but not realize that maybe Sony was right all along, they just got held back by Microsoft.
