Yes, Final Fantasy XIII is coming to the Xbox 360. In fact, not only is it coming, but the 360 version is slated for simultaneous American and European launch alongside the PlayStation 3 release.
IGN

 

Although no specific release date was confirmed, it was announced that the RPG will launch simultaneously on the Xbox 360 and PS3 in both the US and Europe.

Square

1:03 - The PS3 and the 360 versions will be released simultaneously in the US and Europe, but not Japan.

For the last time, they are day and date in the US and Europe. Suggestions other wise are getting old.

Yes, we know that FFXIII will release at the same time for both PS3 and 360 in NA and EU, but the issue here is how it is panning out.

SE need to finish the game for the PS3 first....the Japanese version....then this will be released....looks like it will be some time next year....then SE need to translate and localise the Jap PS3 version for the West and at the same time, port the game to the 360.  Translatation normally take 5-6 months anyway and porting IMHO will take a bit longer for the 360...so we could be talking a 12 month wait after the Jap version is released before it appears on Western shores...by that time, Microsoft could be releasing their new console.

 

 

He made the suggestion of timed exclusive. 1up did their homework and found out otherwise. When exactly will they hit in the US and Europe that is up to SE. My best guess, Q4 09.
