Well, it's certainly possible but since the Slim can't use faceplates, it's a bit of a disappointment. I want to continue using my Miki faceplate and won't be able to do so. I think I'm going to wait and see if there's any images available before preorder, before comitting.
Actually, come to think of it... this would be a bigger issue as I have DLC across three accounts and they would only be playable on their respective accounts if I changed consoles. Even after license transfer...
Anyway, welcome back Kyunik, long time no see.

Cups of noodles everywhere.

Humans can survive on nothing but cup noodle and soda for a week. I know.
They might be able to go longer, but I think at that point I snapped. Assuming I'm the average, humans can only continue eating the same food for a week before they really want something else. Or become aware that they're malnourished and attempt to eat better.
Back on topic...

I got the Precious Album for the stickers mainly... but once I got it, I found I couldn't really bring myself to put the stickers on. They look so nice on those sheets...

The way I see it, most of the core audience already has the 360. I mean, they have the original game. A smaller amount of the core audience has the PSP, but no 360, coming in from SP. Even smaller still, own a DS for DS.
Between a PS3 and a 360 (in Japan)...
People with a PSP have a higher chance of also owning a PS3.
People with a DS have a higher chance of also owning a PS3.
People with neither a PSP or DS have a higher chance of just owning a PS3.
... So, I figure that most new people that would come into Im@s... would own a PS3 before a 360. So your core audience consists of people who own a 360, you have to release on that, but... is it that more expensive to develop for the PS3 as well now? Or, even scarier, were not that many people brought in over the years that there wouldn't be much profit to be made from the one system that most people in Japan who own a console system have?
However... from a quick read of the article, I'm not sure I picked up anything saying exclusivity, just that they really wanted to release for the 360 (without mentioning any other system). Maybe that's just me. Of course... I think it might be exclusive at this point. Maybe not, we can hope, maybe a year down the line at least.

Which kinda leads us to my point a while back. They probably just want more profit out of it, so making a game exclusively for one console is what would they normally do. If ever they plan to release it to another platform, I'm guessing we probably won't hear about it until some time later.
Scotty:
I don't see why limiting access to a product would increase its profits. Explain.
Lunarian:
maybe the producer make a contract with microsoft so the game will only release on xbox
