Sounds like a great idea considering how well the 360 has sold in Japan.
Very entertaining read.

Square has released both "meh" exclusives and "meh" cross platform games. I don't get the impression focusing on one piece of hardware is going to improve much when the concept is as terrible as something like FFXIII-2. The opening cinematic on GameTrailers was like something a crazy person on Youtube thought up to portray Japanese game development in the worst light possible.I was thinking more for hardware pushing games, rather than "meh" games on 2 platforms, or having one platform having obvious superiority over the other, but okay.
Except all the Microsoft support that Square Enix put out has bit them in the ass.
I don't think any of their 360 exclusive or 360 multiplatform version has done well or better than PS3.
I hear the 360 has sold outside of Japan.Sounds like a great idea considering how well the 360 has sold in Japan.

They've already tried to bring it to Steam as well.You mean that game that was already released on a Microsoft platform?

Those old PC ports are beyond broken on modern hardware. They've been sat in the Stream archives for over a year.What's stopping it?
I half disagree. I definitely think games that don't need to be exclusive (no unique technical features used for example) should be multiplatform, ESPECIALLY if they are in one region but not the other (Raystorm HD being 360 exclusive in the US but multiplatform here frustrates me), but if a developer can take advantage of a system in ways they can't another, or at least if being multiplatform seriously holds them back, then by all means I want that game made exclusive. I just don't want to see it because Microsoft paid them a few months before release, and exclusive DLC can die.The less third party exclusives there are, the better.
They'd probably have to figure how to emulate PS1 games on the 360.If they are interested in the xbox market (and i'm sure they are) why they haven't already released all their classic FF's on 360 like they did on PSN?

Isn't SoTN on the 360 running on an emulator? If Konami can do it, why can't Square?They'd probably have to figure how to emulate PS1 games on the 360.
On PS3/PSN you can probably just put PS1 content on there with little hassle.

I'm surprised GAF still doesn't remember how FFXIII was announced for the 360. Maybe it doesn't want to remember?
Trailers for the game stealthily went from "Only on PS3" to "Only on PS3 in Japan" then they announced it at E3 in a special SE conference. Eventually the 360 version even made it's way to Japan...

Let's be honest here, is there even one third party exclusive that couldn't be done on the other platform? I can't think of any. Sure it might mean few smaller tweaks to get it working but nothing major.
Oh man, Square, listen, honey, PLEASE DO THIS.
MS can't have a PS emulator because Sony would sue their asses.
