And while you can't say that the X-Box will sell well just on Amazon figures, you have to admit its a good sign.

Because of is broadband capibilities? im sorry, that made me laugh right there. Thats prolly THE furthest thing from the minds of the people at squaresoft. Yanno why? Because like 90% of the world still uses Dialup modems. Xbox has no dialup. So i doubt they give a rats ass about xbox broadband capibilities.
Also PS2 which they're already on will have Dialup / Broadband......... all in the single modem/box whatever.
The part that would attract square to xbox would be the built in HD, cuz people on PS2 will have to buy the HD seperate. (and yes i read somewhere just like last week. (i think on gamespot.com) that FFXI will require a HD)
Also even if the Xbox does will in japan that wont attract Square to Xbox. it might raise thier interests a bit. But it wont really increase the chances a lot. Because Square wants to develop for the console that has the highest user base overall. not just in 1 country. or 2.
If and when you see xbox or GC take over for the most popular or best userbase of the consoles is when you'll see square looking to jump boat. (but i really dont see anything doing better then sony. at least not this console generation. it'll be close tho i think)
