Microsoft provided one of the few big announcement at this year's E3 event in the form of the news that Final Fantasy XIII is hitting the 360 as well as the PS3, but that doesn't change the fact that Square Enix is leading the game's development on the PS3 and will port the game to the 360 later, according to GameDaily.

"We haven't changed the direction of the development. We're making the PS3 version first, and then porting to the 360 later," said director Motomu Toriyama in a video shown at Japan's DK Sigma 3713 event. "I'm telling them to not think about the Xbox 360 right now. We can think about it after the development kits arrive."

As noted by GameDaily, this will likely push back the release of the game in North America even further because there will be a simultaneous release for both platforms in the West. We'll let you know if a North American release date is announced in the future.
