One of the best-selling video games of all time, Final Fantasy, will be available for the first time on Microsoft's (nasdaq: MSFT - news - people ) Xbox. The company also confirmed that some of the top-selling current Xbox games will work with the forthcoming Xbox 360, due out later this year.
Securing Final Fantasy XI for the Xbox will be seen as a key victory for Microsoft's campaign to overtake rival Sony (nyse: SNE - news - people ) as the king of the hill in the video game console business. If nothing else, it should make the Xbox more attractive to potential buyers. That's because people buy the hardware based on the available games.
