Erm Maybe because Sony has a strong brand and awareness?
Final Fantasy Series True Home is the PLAYSTATION.
What i think should of happen is that they should have kept FF13 (TIME EXCLUSIVES FOR PS3) because it would of droven PS3 sales of the ROOF which would increased the demand for FF13 and after a few month then release it for Xbox 360

But, unfortunatelly at the time, Sony was in no position to do that. They could do it with Final Fantasy XIV (timed exclusive?), Final Fantasy Versus XIII (exclusive) and Final Fantasy XV (i bet Square-Enix is already developing it).

at this time It most likely will only be PS3 an PC MAINLY due to the fact that it very well could be timed, but I would no hold your breath.

FF:XIV is being published by Sony computer Ent.

Don't worry. Us 360 fans will get a chance with Final Fantasy XIV. Just Microsoft has always been way to restrictive when it comes to Live

Like i said It may not even happen due to Sony Computer Ent. is the one publishing the Game, they may have an agreement that say's PC but not the xbox360.

[UPDATE: According to a press release from Square Enix debuting after the Sony press conference, FFXIV Online is in fact console-exclusive to the PS3, not an overall exclusive, showing the kind of confusing remarks often given over exclusivity in press conferences.

The release notes that the game will have "a simultaneous global release" and will be localized into English, French, German, and Japanese. The tagline is "Adventure begins anew in the vast realm of Eorzea!"

In addition, the development staff is led by producer Hiromichi Tanaka (Final Fantasy XI), with art direction by Akihiro Yoshida (Vagrant Story) and music from FF series mainstay Nobuo Uematsu.]
