If it were to be released in Japan on the 360, it would most likely be after the PS3 version, so it wouldn't matter that much in moving new 360's in Japan and it wouldn't sell any better in Japan in comparison to the PS3 version than SF4 or RE5. The best it could do for them would be maybe keep the PS3 from selling as much there as it would as an exclusive. The split would be about 750,000 in favor of the PS3 version and 250,000 for the 360 version.
Now, if MS was to do the totally unexpected at this point and bring out their version of FFXIII before the PS3 version in Japan. They could get a big boost from that and for their console. They might sell 500,000 new 360's and 500,000 copies of the game halving what I expect the PS3 version to do.
But how would the Japanese game community view such an action? Would they embrace it on the 360 or would they rebel even more against Square as a result?
Heavens to Murgatoids.
