    The extra time they're taking may very well pay off.

    Blachaze, it would be a horrible marketing mistake for them not to release it on the 360 in the US, since the 360 is the most common next-gen console over here. Take DMC4, for instance. In Europe and Japan, there is no 360 version, because it won't sell. It's all about marketing.
