It’s been confirmed that Final Fantasy XIII will not be released for Xbox 360 in Japan.

Kotaku have translated an article in Dengeki PlayStation magazine in which Game director Motomu Toriyama is quoted as saying, "There will absolutely not be an Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII for Japan," which is hard to misinterpret.

It’s hardly surprising given that most people in Japan will probably stick to the PS3 for this release, however there will be some disappointed 360 owners in that part of the world.
