Not yet, but would not rule out the possibility

Monkey Island will return this summer, as the Tales of Monkey Island will be arriving for the PC as well as WiiWare. Telltale, who is handling the effort, has let it be known, however, that they are not ruling out the possibility that Tales of Monkey Island could arrive on Xbox Live Arcade at some point in the near future.

From the talk we hear, the developer wanted to focus on the two announced versions first and then they will figure out what the future may hold; but we would not rule the possibility out from what we know. The reason for choosing WiiWare and the PC could have a lot to do with the ability to make more potential money before starting a conversion effort for an XBLA version.

In the meantime, Xbox 360 owners will have to wait till the WiiWare and PC versions are released. Some sources suggest that Telltale is also considering the PlayStation Network, as well, but like the possible XBLA version it will have to wait till the first two versions ship to see what is next.

From our understanding you can expect to see the WiiWare and PC versions released later this summer. No specific release date has been specified at this time beyond the suggestion that it should be released later this summer.
