Here is something to consider.

~Square-Enix has become a mere shadow of what Squaresoft
stood for in the RPG world, let's face it - most of their modern
titles suck (except for a few DS revivals like Dragon Quest series)

~The company mainly depends on their Final Fantasy series which
has some of the biggest following of fans in gaming in general. The
testimony to that is PS3 hardware sales just when FF13 DEMO came
out! It outsold even Nintendo DS for that month in Japan, unreal!

~The "tech demo" was not only a demonstration of Sony's hardware
but in my opinion a try-out, at least now the guys in Square-Enix know
the game COULD be done.

~Sony is lagging behind 360 and now that everyone's fed up with next-gen
graphics (and we have yet to see truly next-gen gaming) so it all comes down
to EXCLUSIVES. Sony is on the winning side here...
-InFamous
-Uncharted
-God Of War
-Metal Gear 4
-Heavenly Sword
-Kill Zone 2
-White Knight's Tale
-Ratchet & Clank

....just to name a few.
So, the conclusion. Invest in a complete re-imagining of FF7 and
make it exlusive on PS3, which is doable since Sony and Square have
a long successful history together, and get the most bad-ass crew
behind the project: Amano, Sakugachi, Uematsu etc.

PlayStation3 would sell through the roof!
And I'm pretty sure these aren't just my fan-boy speculations. The guys
at Square spend every day thinking on how to up their income so these
thoughts must swirl in their heads.
