I don't see why any of you guys think this is about Japan at all. Even for the oh-so-woefully misnamed JRPGs (yes, I'm one of those snobbish people who don't acknowledge them as being RPGs) their sales mostly come from other regions. This move is far more likely aimed at expanding the player base for the genre in countries whose markets are lucrative enough to support rising development costs. Releasing on 360 first simply serves to put it in front of a market that would traditionally be less inclined to buy such games in order to catch sales from those who own both HD consoles and bloat the 360 sales numbers for PR purposes.
A side note: I have massive disrespect for anyone who refers to Microsoft or Sony as "M$" or "$ony" without referring to the other the same way. They're both out to make money, and neither is more so than the other.
