im not sure FF XIII will be as good on X360 as it will be on PS3. Think about it. They will have problems with the port, thats a simple fact. The engine is PS3 built from the ground up then ported to 360. I think the overall quality will be better on PS3 and the press and media will blow this up so everyone knows about it. But we have to wait and see. Last remnant was a technical nightmare on 360, how will it be when they stress out a port of a graphical-heavy FF XIII? No, the PS3 version will be the most polished one. If my statement becomes true i think that the PS3 version will be the winner in sales all over the world.

i still think its stupid that we here in the west have to wait for the x360 version. So stupid...

It's not a PS3 engine, it's built on a PC engine that is used for both PS3 and 360, i really don't see the game looking different besides the small differences we normally see in some multi-platforms.  The only argument you can have is that the 360 version might be a few CDs while the PS3 is on 1 blu-ray.

360, simply because it has a higher installed base.

The latest final fantasy shows how important the U.S market it to this game. It may even be more significant than the Japanese market this time due to the decline of the Japanese userbase.

Between a significant proportion of sales in the U.S.A and a 2:1 userbase advantage im pretty confident this once PS centric series will perform better on the Xbox 360 in the west.



Tease.

Microsoft is likely aiding in getting the thing over to the west... the translation and VO will take longer than the port.  PS3->360 easier then 360->PS3... Sony has talked about that many time.  I highly doubt the 360 version will suffer at all because Microsoft is behind the deal they will assist in many ways to make sure things go as smoothly as possible.  The good thing is that the game will be finished and all bugs in the Japanese version will not make it to the US
