Final Fantasy XIII On Xbox 360 Being Phased Out By UK Retailers

When Square Enix announced that Final Fantasy XIII would be coming out on the Xbox 360, people instantly thought about how this would affect sales. Multiplatform titles on Xbox 360 pretty much always outsold their PS3 counterpart, but Final Fantasy had a very strong Sony following.

It turns out that the PS3 version convincingly outsold the Xbox 360 version, and this is now being strongly reflected by how retailers are approaching both versions of the title. Currently in the UK, the Xbox 360 version has had its price slashed by online retailers Play.com and Amazon, while the PS3 version's price remains completely untouched.

It suggests that the Xbox 360 version of the title simply isn't selling as well as they expected and they're trying to offload some of their inventory on the cheap. It could mean that they phase out the Xbox 360 version completely, something that isn't uncommon on Play.com after titles are featured in sales.
