Whilst explaining Microsoft’s Xbox 360 success this week in Japan, Xbox Japan boss Takashi Sensui also explained that Final Fantasy XIII is still not being planned to hit the Xbox 360 in Japan.

Sales have been in an upward trend in Japan recently and we intend to work hard to push this momentum forward moving into the holiday sales season… As an initial milestone, we would like to hit the one million mark as soon as possible, and are continuing to work hard to get to this milestone and go beyond… The recent launch of Infinite Undiscovery on September 11 saw sales of over 90,000 units in the week of September 8-14 according to data from Media Create, placing it the third-highest selling game in Japan in that period… We have similar high hopes for the upcoming launch of other RPGs such as The Last Remnant, Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope and Fable II. However, we have no plans to launch Final Fantasy XIII in Japan.
