I can 100% admit that I did not see this coming. Final Fantasy XIII, the system seller for the Playstation 3, is coming to the Xbox 360. It was announced at the end of the Microsoft keynote by Square-Enix head, Yoichi Wada, and will probably go down as the biggest announcement of this years E3. It happened, we saw it, and I still don't think anyone really believed it until it was actually stated that it was "Available for the Xbox 360 At Launch in North America and Europe."

I said in an earlier post today that Microsoft has deep pockets, and I think this has proven it more than anything before. I still can't even imagine the amount of work that went into making this deal happen, add onto the fact that up until today, no one seemed to know anything about it. As proven by the "GASP!" heard around the conference room.

Personally, I think it's a great move for both Microsoft and Square-Enix. The Xbox 360 is the console leader (Wii doesn't count) outside of Japan and when it comes to maximizing profit, you go where the money is. Now all we need to know is when this damn game is coming out!
