Final Fantasy 13 will come to Xbox 360. However:
1) It will not go to Xbox 360 in Japan. This is very, very significant. Xbox 360 is already in a "sick" state, so when FF13 comes to Japan, Xbox 360 will constantly be on life-support. Japan is an RPG crazy country. Final Fantasy 13 looks like it is leaps and bounds better than any other JRPG at the moment. For the Japanese the best JRPG by far will be only on the PS3.
2) Final Fantasy 13 will be best on the PS3. Square said it themselves that the game will use the cell to its potential (or close to it). Because of Blu-ray disk the PS3 version will have less interuption during gameplay--no disk swapping. A game this good and this long should have as little interuption as possible during gameplay. Also, Final Fantasy has a history of being on the Playstation family of consoles. So, Cell, Blu-ray, Japan, and history will guarantee the PS3 will have the best selling JRPG if not RPG this generation.
3) By the time FF13 comes out, a PS3 will have already had a price cut, and Xbox 360's weekly/monthly sales will likely be less than the PS3. FF13 will add a ton of bricks on the fallling Xbox 360.
4) Don't forget FF13 versus, a full-blown exclusive tile on the PS3. Another ton of bricks on the falling Xbox 360.
5) Final Fantasy 13 will be a long game and, since it is so technologically impressive, will make Xbox 360 and PS3 sweat during the gameplay. PS3 owners will play the biggest Final Fantasy ever fear free. Xbox 360 owners will have more fear, wondering if their console can handle the game without dying on them (RROD and E-74).
6) Adding all of the above up = Rise of the PS3 confirmed.
