Square shares rise on FFXIII 360 news

Seems that Square made a smart move getting FFXIII released on the Xbox 360 as well as Sonys PS3.

Square Enix shares gained 5.2 percent, the biggest advance since May 22, to close at 3,250 yen on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, after the Japanese firm said that Final Fantasy XIII would be released on Microsoft's Xbox 360 as well as Sony's PS3, Bloomberg reports.

The announcement that the title will no longer be exclusive to PS3 in Europe and the US came at the end of Microsoft's E3 press conference.

"Releasing an Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII will allow us to provide the game to even more fans in the two regions of North America and Europe," said Square Enix president Yoichi Wada. "We are currently working hard on these two versions".

They said they are keeping both versions identical in every way, no additional content... aside the from the obvious multi-DVD thing for 360. :lol:
