However, I don't know anyone that would play FFXI on the Xbox360 just because it's "newly" available on that platform. It's also unlikely that Square will push graphical upgrades and such for only the Xbox, because they'd piss off their established user base.

As for amazing titles, I'm pretty sure Shadow of the Colossus will be phenomenal (made by the same people that made the PS2's Ico) The bare bones x-box is going to have so much backlash it’ll be worse than the initial model of the PS2 and the dreaded D.R.E (disc read error), which popped up innocently a few times before rendering all of your games unplayable.
