SE will start looking at other consoles once the PC/PS3 versions have been released. Wii U is highly likely and I wouldn't rule out the XBox 360/720 either. It was the old development team who couldn't reach an agreement with Microsoft. The new team may be able to. They've already opened up to the idea of relocating servers outside Japan. But at the end of the day it all depends on whether ARR is a success.
