FFXIII won't be released for Xbox 360 in Japan (lets put it to rest now)

To be perfectly honest, I don't think that FFXIII is THAT important. Certainly not to the extent FF's were last generation.

Don't get me wrong, the loss of exclusivity is a mammoth blow to the PS3, especially given the Xbox 360 is cheaper. But I think it will be very difficult to gauge. In Japan I think if Sony paid more than a couple of million dollars they wasted their cash. We have already seen that the continent has a massive aversion to purchasing the Xbox 360, and wouldn't have bought it en masse for FFXIII!!!

Its not, at least not since E3. Now Versus is the most important thing in the universe.

Don't forget it. 

HAHA!!!

SO true.  Of course to me, Versus actually IS the most important FF game.  I want it badly enough to purchase a PS3 for it (assuming nothing attrotious happens between now and the game's release).  But in terms of sales, its largely irrelevant.

I didn't say Sony paid anything, but JRPG sales on the Xbox 360 in Japan are sufficient to economically justify a FFXIII localisation/port, especially when a port needs to be done for the West anyway.

 

Also everybody, remember that BOTH versions are ports of the PC build, meaning the Xbox 360 version would probably be CHEAPER and EASIER to port than the PS3 version.

 

All games are built using PC tools.
