"If there is a merit cooperating with Microsoft we will do this. We might give some projects to separate studios and make games for the X360. The main platforms for Square Enix are the Nintendo platforms and the PS3. The lion-share of the developers and our infrastructure as well as our capital is for NDS, Wii and PS3, and this is not going to change... We are astonished by Wii's success and the Nintendo dominance. We thought that the PS3 and the Wii will coexist due to the difference between both strategies, but in the end the users will decide which platform we develop on. The SCE platforms at this point are a bit of a challenge... We think we can do much on the Wii. I talked to Iwata to exploit many possibilities and cheer him on."

Around the Network

If the Xbox 360 userbase starts buying up jRPGs, then they will develop for it. Looking at BD, ES, and LO sales so far, there is really not enough merit.

I guess they are using Last Remnant as their test game for the 360. Infinite Undiscovery is done by Tri-ace, but funded by MS and somehow got the SE label on it (I suppose).



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials 

 

Conservatives:  Pushing for a small enough government to be a guest in your living room, or even better - your uterus.

 

MS will have to perform way better in Japan before SE supports it. Its that simple, and unortunately for MS that never looks like happenning.

BTW: Even though SE said they are supporting Nintendo, I think most will agree that no classic FF action will make its way, but maybe we can dream of a Chrono Trigger remake or a FF7 remake. A CT remake would sell stupendisly on any console, so why wouldn't you put it on the one with the biggest user base. I want it to be Wii, but it will be the DS.



Nintendo = Innovation = Wii
