A moral victory for Sony
Koei has announced that they will be releasing a sequel to Crimson Sea at the end of March. But what makes this bit of news fit to print is the system on which they'll be releasing it; Crimson Sea was an Xbox exclusive game, but Crimson Sea 2 will be PS2 exclusive. As noted in Koei's announcement, they are "making the experience available to a wider audience."
Perhaps Microsoft helped fund the first game in an attempt to bring more exclusive titles to their system and didn't offer to fund the sequel? For my part I would have rather Koei stayed with the big X on this one, its more robust hardware allowed them to throw a hell of a melee with what seemed like hundreds of monsters on the screen at once. On the PS2 I predict it won't seem as impressive.
