Though the community has long been aware of its existence, it has remained a mystery for months as to exactly when Xbox 360s built upon the new Falcon motherboard and driven by the smaller 65-nm CPU would hit the street. It has been Microsoft’s strategy to soft launch hardware revisions to the Xbox 360, so as with the addition of HDMI to Premium consoles, it has been up to fans to carefully inspect their new console hardware in hopes of discovering a change. Today, thanks to Xbox.com Forums member JWSpeed, it has been confirmed that consoles with the new mobo and CPU are in circulation.

An issue of Dengeki PlayStation that goes on sale August 29th in Japan, Final Fantasy XIII director and writer Motomu Toriyama and FFXIII Versus director Tetsuya Nomura talk about the possibility of Japan getting a Final Fantasy XIII Xbox 360 version. Nomura says that he himself was “surprised” at the FFXIII Xbox 360 Asia version news, saying that Microsoft’s comment (“It would be nice if the game came out”) was taken to mean that it was actually confirmed for Asia. More interesting than that cluster**** is Toriyama’s comment about whether or not Final Fantasy XIII will be released in Japan on the Xbox 360 platform:
Quote:
| There will absolutely not be an Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII for Japan. |
Obviously Toriyama is not mincing words. He’s being crystal clear. But, really, why not release it on the Xbox 360 in Japan? Sales of the game in both America and Europe (in multiple languages) on both platforms are likely to exceed the Japanese sales markets — so what’s the point of no mulit-platform for domestic consumers? From a business stand point, Toriyama’s statement seems rather odd.
Worse yet, I’m beginning to think that asking Square Enix if the game is coming out on the Xbox 360 in Japan will be the Is-MGS4-Coming-Out-On-Xbox-360 of this and next year. Ungh.
