No Western Final Fantasy XIII Before 2010

North American Final Fantasy fans will be disappointed to know that Square Enix's highly-anticipated Final Fantasy XIII won't launch outside Japan until 2010 at the earliest.

Speaking to Reuters, Square Enix president Yoichi Wada asserted that Final Fantasy XIII will remain exclusive to the Japanese Playstation 3 fans until 2010. As announced by Microsoft at E3 2008, FFXIII will launch on both PS3 and Xbox 360 in the U.S.
