Also, FFXIII is as much of a launch title as FFVII was for the PS1 in 1997 (two years after PS1 launched) and FFX was for the PS2 in 2001 (one year after the PS2 launched) because it is the first Final Fantasy game of this gen (not the third like FFXII published when most PS2s had already been purchased so it did have little effect in pushing software unlike what FFXIII will most likely do).
So far this gen as in the last three gens, the first FF will be the first jrpg taken seriously by masses of people and it will truely show the power of jrpgs to move consoles (unlike all the prelude to FF games that we've seen so far this gen all jrpgs we;ve seen so far this gen have been Wild Arms, Vandal Hearts, and Suikoden I to Final Fantasy VII in comparison to the sales that XIII and Versus XIII will have), and it (both FFXIII and V XIII) are Playstation 3 exclusives in Japan which will lead to further Japanese exclusives for the system.
If you're Square and you sell 3 million copies of FFXIII on PS3 in Japan alone and 500,000 copies of your most popular 360 game worldwide where are you going to put most of your development dollars?
