I think SE is waiting until the PS3 has a reasonable userbase in Japan to release FFXIII. That and the decision to port it over to the 360 in the West, because I fear that development costs may have been impossible to recoup with only it getting released on the PS3. But I also fear that FFXIII may get delayed even further into this gen, because SE won't be happy about releasing a game on a platform that will provide small sales in comparison to previous games. Unless people expect to see a 100% attach rate, which is impossible.
