This thread is seriously fail. By some peoples logic every single console game is a port because it was original created on a PC.
The PS3 version of FF XIII is definitely not a port. The 360 version might not even be considered a port because of the tools being used. A true port would be to take the code made to run ON a ps3 and change it (usually meaning rewriting massive portions of the engine and other parts of the code) to run on the 360.
In this case the coding environment allows for creating code forks in the original code and to compile the desired target platform. Meaning, they just have to compile twice, once for each system and not change much of the code. My assumption is that they only recently closed the deal to make it run the 360 so by the time the ps3 version comes out they will not have finished all the system specific code forks. OR it is merely because the game wont be coming out for the 360 in japan so the lag time is merely because of the normal lag time for localization.
