Uh...didn't they already say that the PS3 and 360 version would launch simultaneously in the West already? I don't see them changing. I doubt MS would allow it anyway.

Edit: lol, E3 happened in August? News to me.

Yup.

I think thats the key here, Soriku. One could assume that it should come out quicker on PS3 since it's been in development longer (atleast, this assumes that they're working a lot on putting the game on a PS3 right now).

But I think the key issue is that Microsoft wouldn't let XIII slip to a later release date in the West, as it'd be a huge blow to them. And if there's one thing that Microsoft has done this generation, is that they've stolen so many games, and provided a great platform for them to be built on, that's far easier to develop for than the PS3. Because of this, if there was indeed any discrepancy between the PS3 and X360 versions in terms of time to launch, Microsoft would remedy it, to ensure they maintain competitiveness against the PS3 version.

 

Nice to know that M$ solves all problems...
