I don't get the question....

They're banking on us hoping to bring people back and will no doubt use expansion packs to market the game more. Now PS3 might get released same time as expansion, that doesnt mean the PS3 release will make it better, it will be the past 8 months + w/e months ahead + all the new content that will make it better and hopefully bring more. Sadly though with other games it's going to be very tough. Even if every person was paying now it would be losing a lot of money and never break even. The game will be how it is now for a while and probably go to about the subscribe base of XI for a few years and maybe in the future we'll see, but competition is fierce and high now unlike back in XI's days and even then it took them couple years to break even with a payment plan from the start.

But in the end the game will most likely survive, the "image" of a FF game is all SE have and they passionately want to keep the franchise "successful".
