I sure hop Square makes a games that ctually uses the Xbox360 hardware properly.. Maybe even an Exclusive? :)
Originally FFXI was planned for Xbox, but at the time Microsoft wasn't ready to let Square-Enix use their own online service instead of Live.
Those who want to see pretty "Square graphics" on Xbox 360 are probably pleased to know that they have another MMORPG title in the works for Microsoft's next-gen console. It's not exclusive, but it looks quite nice. Here are some screenshots of the game's demo running on the Xbox 360 alpha kit:
Square Enix disclosed that it expects online games to become the mainstream revenue stream for it and other game companies, explaining further that all next-generation handhelds and consoles will be online-enabled. The company also said that its online operation is growing faster than the market's demand, assuring investors that it will not fall behind in the online gaming sector. "We have 50 percent share in Japan, and we've beaten EverQuest in America. We're doing well in Europe as well."

Youichi Wada, president of Square Enix:
"E3 was all about next-generation console specs. That's important, but what's also important is the kind of [online] services that will be provided. Microsoft is the only one that presented a service model with Xbox Live. They're one step ahead in that point... Whether we like it or not, [publishers] will need to completely change our corporate structure, development methods, and sales methods. The market will become larger, but [publishers] won't succeed unless they understand the changes in the market, and have the ability to adapt to them. There are only a few major companies in the movie industry. Companies in the game industry will also consolidate into a limited number of major publishers. The appearance of the next-generation game consoles will be the momentum behind the change."
