This is a move I didn't expect to see. NIS is usually known for sticking firmly with the PlayStation brand (occassionally venturing into DS territory) but its fan service crossover game, Cross Edge, is gearing up for an Xbox 360 release. It'll be released in Japan as Cross Edge Dash this coming October, almost a year after the original game launched.
Cross Edge combines characters from NIS, Gust, Idea Factory Namco Bandai and Capcom to create one big roleplaying mash up and was released to moderate reviews (ours is still coming, promise!). It was one third-party exclusive I wouldn't have expected the PS3 to lose, but there you go. Apparently, somebody in Japan believes the 360 is lucrative enough there for a release.
No word if Cross Edge will be coming to North American Xboxes yet. Will your hardcore Xbox fanboy even know half the characters, though?

And I've had every Sony system ever made (I think) and I STILL don't know who at least half of the people in this game are.
Talk about "limited audience."
But I'm shocked........ That more than 5 people heard about this game, seriously no one even in my inner circle except 1 guy and a few dtoiders heard about this game so I'm not surprised there porting.
I'll admit to at least wanting to check this out but I am pretty willing to consume all things RPG.
Waiting for the review!
That didn't mean i'm actually going to buy this game though.At least the screen shots make it looks like chrono trigger.
The game sucked anyways.
Besides PS3 gets Magna Carta 2 which was a 360 Exclusive in Japan now it's on PS3.
Don't know why people are making such a big deal out of 3rd party exclusives going multiplatform.
Neither Sony or Microsoft own these games.
Unless you see a Sony Logo or a Microsoft Studios Logo on the game cover accept the possibility of that game going multiplatform.
