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.

I agree, MS is doing its best to change that. They've made hella strides (see: RPG's on 360 list), but it's a lot of money that may not have found a return. Microsoft has to make a much of a stride NOW before FF13 comes out. The only way they will be able to continue their current path in a post FF13 world is if the Ps3 ports (Lost Planet, Sonata, Tales I assume) don't do so well on their debuts, (the 360 Japan userbase is small, but game demand amoung them is high). Besides "buying" the RPGs, MS needs Fable and Mass Effect in that country like bread needs grain. Why not get some classic Final Fantasies on XBLA? That'd be sweet.... I know me, you, and one person who really play jRPGs on 360. There is a great selection, I feel bad its not being appreciated.
