SE really needs to make some Wii announcements soon. They really risk getting left behind in their own country.

Not really DS is enough, and if they wanted to make there games 3D (Which they are) thats why they obviously flock to the PSP rather then the Wii, since PSP takes less time and has better overall results. i also think Sony has something to do with it to but meh.

 

I really don't think Square Enix can afford to ignore console gaming like you suggest. And for a Japanese dev, that makes the bulk of its sales in it's home country, it's hard not to acknowledge what's happening. Japanese dev's are shifting to the Wii because the other two consoles just don't have enough of an instal base. The Tenchu series, the main Tales series, Monster Hunter and numerous other Japanese franchises are going Wii bound. And the gap is only growing wider. Square Enix initially had great success with Dragon Quest swords, but since then they seem content to just let the console market pass them by. I think that's really going to hurt them.

True to some extent, but Alas when it comes to Square Enix they seem to Favor the PSP and X360 now an days, and i guess they even favor the PS3 over the Wii since atleast PS3 gets one exclusive from them which is versus, i only know of one Wii exclusive Square game but its not to huge so i wont even mention it.
