By the way, White was originally conceived neither as PS3-exclusive nor cross-platform. Development first began on the PS2.

I remember hearing that from other forum posts but I don't remember seeing it in a new story (didn't pay much attention to gaming news back then) but if it is true the the PS3 is the reason FFXIII isn't coming out until 2010 as it probably would already be finished if it had stayed a PS2 game.

Maybe, but maybe not. There's more to game development than just the engine. For example, one of the reasons FFXII was delayed for so long was that the Square-Enix executives ordered the team to change the game's main character.

This only means that there are many possible reasons for delays, but the change of platform from PS2->PS3 would be a huge reason for delay due to the massive differences between both consoles.

At the end of the day it is not the 360 or the PS3 that delay the game but Square-Enix themselves as they are the ones making the decisions causing the delay.
