Support Yoshi-P's efforts to bring XIV to as many platforms as possible. :)

For SE this is business though so more platforms, more customers.

More platforms doesn't guarantee more customers. Or at least doesn't guarantee a increase in customers large enough to be worth the cost and effort of the port. For example, do you think the xbone release of ESO is going to increase its dwindling subscription numbers much? ESO may be a buggy mess but outside of the bugs it suffers from alot of the same problems ARR suffers from (too solo-centric and easy, too similar to WoW etc.). I honestly can't imagine many people that would buy ESO or ARR for the xbone. Whether it be because of the required xbox live (even if you'd be paying for xbox live anyways PS4 is the superior console and PS+ is cheaper) or because the game will run better on PS4 or PC.

You may consider consoles wasted manpower but I appreciate that they kept their word on a console release, even though it was a promise made during 1.0 by Tanaka. That speaks alot more to me than specs.

The problem is the PS3 can barely run the game and they had to dumb the entire game down specifically to get it running on PS3. If they'd of kept it PC exclusive or at least skipped the PS3 straight to PS4 it may of had less subs but the quality of the game and content would likely be much better than it is right now.
