This is apparently a meeting of shareholders, and Wada, the current CEO of Square-Enix, said some interesting things. I have a rough translation, but I would like someone else (perhaps y-koron) to translate properly. Here is the text from the link:
三人目の質問です。FF13について、Xbox360での展開は無いのか、普及台数が低いPS3で出していいのか、マルチプラットフォームなどを検討していないのかどうか。また、PS3が難題出た時が採算分岐点は何台になるのか。
今のところは変更は無いが、PS3用として取り掛かったからといって他にまったく利用できないというわけではない。販売に関してはタイミングを見る。その時点の台数だけでなく、勢いも重要。
From what I understand, it pretty much says they haven't ruled out porting FFXIII to the 360. They say that even though it is being designed specifically with the PS3 in mind, it is not the case that they couldn't utilize everything they've accomplished elsewhere (multiplatform). But, this is a very poor translation on my part, and would like someone who could do a much better job.
Edit:
Proper translation by omoneru:
"Even though there is no change in our original plan (about it being PS3 exclusive) at the moment, it could be ported to other platform (at least theoretically). We'll see when is a good time to do it. (As to which platform) the number of console sold in the market is an important factor (for them to choose which) but the momentum (that console has in the market at any given time) is also important."
This doesn't necessarily mean FFXIII will go multi-plat, but it is interesting that the CEO is wary of the market and considering the 360 if the PS3 doesn't light up the market like they thought it would.
