This may sound crazy and I don't believe it 100% myself, it is just an idea floating in my head.
Final Fantasy XIII might be postponed till very late this gen or even next gen, since the HD systems will not have a user base worthy of investing almost a hundred million dollars into. 30-40 million users just isn't enough, so maybe multiplatform (figure 65-80 million HD consoles combined) at the end of the generation. Maybe even cross generation at the begining of the next.
As a business square shouldn't care they are going to rake in money with the multiplatform UT3engine games, the Wii games, and (mostly) DQIX on DS.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
