Right now MS is trying to get as much of the jRPG market as possible before FF 13 hits on PS3. For the West, Xbox 360 is still viewed as the Madden / Halo console and Final Fantasy = jRPG, economically. Besides myself, I honestly know exactly 0 people that have a 360 not interested in sports / FPS games (Madden / Halo). 0 people besides myself that own a 360 and go to gaming message boards like jRPGs. I'm thoroughly enjoying the 360's selection of jRPGs at the moment, but once FF hits PS3, it's going to become much more expensive for MS to keep moneyhatting the genre. They are going to have to keep compete with the user-base developed by FF 13 on the PS3 and the user base naturally developed on the Wii.
But speaking of this game, I will buy it first day.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
