Report: Final Fantasy XIII coming to PS3 first, Xbox 360 later

Recent comments made by Square Enix suggest that Final Fantasy XIII may not come to Xbox 360 until well after the PS3 version is out.

According to Square Enix, "Work on the Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII would not begin until the PS3 version of the game was completed," reports GamePlayer, while referring to Square Enix's E3 press conference held on July 14.

"So unless something was lost in translation," speculates GamePlayer, don't expect to see Final Fantasy XIII on Xbox 360 until 2010, whereas the PS3 version is widely expected sometime in 2009.

When asked for clarification, a Square Enix representative told GamePro over the weekend: "Outside of the interviews we had at E3 we won't be able to provide any official comments right now."

Whatever happens, it's worth noting that Final Fantasy XIII has been in development on PS3 for some time, whereas the decision to port the game to Xbox 360 was only made recently, says Square Enix.

The game will be released in Japan before any western localization takes place, however, leaving opening the possibility of a simultaneous system release in America.

c'mon gamepro stop being a bunch of douchebags the development says nothing about release dates. plus its being develop from pc tools so porting to 360 wont be hard.. let gameplayer report this non-sense.
