I don't think you guys realize that FFXIII on the 360 won't help S-E any and they would have to be desperately afraid of the PS3 US salse to even consider the idea. FFXIII main sales will come from Japan, EU PS3 sales will be perfectly fine by the time FFXIII releases since it will get massive boost from GT5. The only issue is the US and I am positive that Square are not going to port the game just for a few US people to buy the game. This is not Madden, the US don't line up to play Final Fantasy games.

S-E gain nothing by putting this game on the 360, not to mention it would require them to re-programme everything onto the UE3 engine. If this game is ported anywhere, it will be to the Wii where it will have the biggest impact and make the most profit for Square.

FF will not appear on the 360. There is just a 0% chance.

 

Why do you think that SE and Konami havent already announced ports of their games? Its because Sony has already paid for exlusivity or timed exclusivity.

SE have no ports to announce that is why nothing has been announced. If you are waiting for FFXIII announcement then I hope you are a very paitent person because you will be waiting for a long time, like forever.


Research has shown that as little as five minutes of research a day can prevent Foot-In-Mouth disease:

You might want to reconsider your stance on the importance of USA Final Fantasy sales. And considering that the 360 has well over a 3-to-1 ratio in America and nearly a 3-to-1 ratio in PAL regions over the PS3, it's more than "just a few US sales". SE would be stupid not to at least entertain the thought of porting FFXIII.


I am well aware of the Final Fantasy sales in the US but they are not at a level where they validate a port of a game that is well in development on a engine that sucks at porting games. This game will easily sell over 1mil in the US on the PS3 and only an idiot or a fanboy think it won't. Remember, FFXIII is the last big exclusive to hit in the US and the userbase will be well enough.

The difference is the issue, there is nothing for Square to gain and I can guarantee that Square will see it the same way. FF main focus is Japan, Square's main focus is Japan and S-E have said so MANY times. The 360 won't get major games from S-E until their sales in Japan increase, simple as that.
