This Japan MS's move touched me so much. In the game perspective, there are no reseaons to refuse Xbox 360 for Japanese, but they really did.

If you read what they posted on IGN, for Infinite Undiscovery, the dates for North America and Europe are shipping dates, whereas the Asia/Japan dates are actual store dates.  So the release in NA/EUR will be a bit after 9/2 and 9/5.

I'm really impressed that Japanese RPGs (the bread and butter of the PS of old) are now moving into the XBOX 360 as well by the numbers.
