Hopefully Square will come to their senses and release a port on a good system.

Why would they port it to the 360 when no one in Japan owns the system? Makes no sense.

Fanboy insanity.

No one owns a PS3 either. Why would they turn their back on North America sales?

Response to Inferno22:

There are a LOT more Xbox 360 system owners in Japan than there are Playstation 3 system owners in Japan...and it is worth noting that the Xbox 360 has the hype at this point in time; it is literally more difficult to find an Xbox 360 in Japan than it is to find a Playstation 3.

The reason for this is because of a SUPER Xbox 360 game called, "Blue Dragon," which was made by the original creator of Final Fantasy and many of the people who helped him.

Microsoft started what they called a "relaunch" of the Xbox 360 in Japan, and they sold 10,000 special faceplate editions of the Xbox 360 that came packed with Blue Dragon, and an additional 90,000 units of the Xbox 360 that also came packed with Blue Dragon. From that point forward, the Xbox 360 was completely sold out in Japan, and then a big shipment of 35,000 systems sold out in one day, as soon as it arrived! The Xbox 360 continues to remain a sellout product in many areas of Japan!

Compare this to the sales of the Playstation 3: PS3 sold 87,000 systems on launch day, which is lower than the 100,000 systems that the Xbox 360 sold on the "relaunch day" of the Xbox 360 where Blue Dragon was released. The second shipment of the PS3 was 40,000, which is only 5,000 higher than the second shipment (35,000) of the Blue Dragon Xbox 360 package. Now, factor in that that Xbox 360 original launch sold around 70,000 systems, and throughout the year Microsoft managed to sell an additional 30,000 systems, and you can see that the Xbox 360 actually has quite a bit sales lead on the Playstation 3 in Japan.

The AWESOME thing is that the Japanese people are more excited about the Xbox 360 than the Playstation 3, because of an exclusive Xbox 360 game called, Lost Odyssey, which is also created by the original designer of Final Fantasy.

The Wii is actually considered a "new-generation" system, and it is probably going to end up being the most popular home system.

The Playstation 3 is WAAAY too overpriced and underperforming to be popular in Japan--with or without Final Fantasy.

If Square Enix is intelligent, they will release Final Fantasy XIII on both the Xbox 360 and the PS3. Most of the websites seem to agree this will happen; although, an official announcement of the Xbox 360 version may not take place until six months before the game is going to be released...similar to Virtua Fighter 5.
