SE could also make PS3 version, but they dont even want to invest a penny into that venture either, even though they would make a ton of cash off of it. Releases like this have never been as bad till FFXIV tanked, if you really want the answer to why they have cut all spending to FFXI, look at the monstrosity FFXIV. The old producers admited they spent FFXI sub money to create FFIXV, and they lost so big that FFXI is now paying the price of it in the form of reformed marketing and investing into the final fantasy series, theres no reason to not have ps2 release, a steam release, a marketing campaign with ads on TV to bring in new customers, ect. unless theres been a change in investment and marketing strategies towards saving as much money as possible. Even when money taken in by FFXI doesnt justify it, after all the FFXI subs could build a monstrosity like FFXIV, but not a ps2 version? Seriously... lol.
