In previous years, the premiere dates of the PC and console versions were significantly different, so you can easily assume that the lack of information is the natural result of the fact that the game is simply not ready enough to reveal anything valuable. However, it appears that it is because Football Manager 2009 will not appear on the Xbox 360! Miles Jacobson, the executive director of Sports Interactive, says that the developers were not fully satisfied with the game for that platform (the interview for the VideoGamer.com service). SI does not want to create games only in order to sell them. The most important factor is the quality of the final product, and in this case it was not satisfactory.

These reports appear to be another proof for a fairly reasonable policy of Sports Interactive in relation to the players. You could meet a number of negative votes evaluating the gameplay of the XBox 360 version therefore this kind of decision is not strange. On the other hand, Miles Jacobson did not close the console topic stating that in the future SI can return to that issue when they will have enough time and technical capabilities.
