But they will also sell xbones because some people will be thinking i can play KH and FF, but on top of that I can also play Halo. With so many FF games having launched multiplat now, i dont think FF is that tied to Playstation anymore.
It's slightly different than that. FF and KHIII will sell a few XBOs, but not nearly as many PS4s. It's because of the brand association with the product. Call of Duty sold much better on 360 than PS3 because it's associated with the Xbox brand because of the timed DLC exclusivity deals and things like that. Chances are, if you're a Call of Duty fan, you're probably on Xbox. The same applies with FF and KHIII. They've been in existence since 1987 and 2002, and have been PlayStation only until 2009 and 2015, respectively. If you love FF and KH, you're probably a PlayStation guy.
Well, they were trying.
We don't even know if ND will be retaining two teams once TLoU HDer ships. It is a more efficient production model though.
I like their model, using a small team for pre-production work, and then shifting the heavy labor over when it's actually time for production. I think whether they keep them depends on the time gap between Uncharted 4 finishing and pre-production ending on whatever they have planned next.
