The most stunning announcement came from Japan-based Square-Enix Co. when it announced that the title Final Fantasy XIII will be released for the Xbox 360. It was previously announced for the PS3 and is the first major Final Fantasy release to defect to a rival game console.
The title may provide a boost in the Japan region, where the Xbox 360 ranks last in overall hardware sales in week-to-week tallies.
Microsoft on Sun. announced a price cut for the 20GB Xbox 360 Pro SKU to $299.99 from a $349.99 MSRP. It will also retail a new 60GB SKU to replace the Pro option this Aug.
