this also appears to be new information

Securing the “Final Fantasy VII” trilogy as a console exclusive is a feather in the PlayStation cap. It’s part of recognizing the original game’s importance as a defining game for the PlayStation experience, said Christian Svensson, vice president of second- and third-party content ventures and strategic initiatives at Sony Interactive Entertainment.

Of course the vice president of Sony would say that.

I'm sure the people that actually made the game, however, will find even greater success once the exclusivity time ends, since it's not even a true exclusive.

So the key to your product's success is limiting the number of people who can buy it. That's some interesting logic.

"The key to these great sale numbers for our console exclusive game is that its only available on our console"
