They just can't seem to get it through there thick skulls, either that or Microsoft is paying them millions upon millions of dollars to be either exclusive or released before the PS3 version.
What the hell anyway did Sony have sex with there wives or something, seems like they have a grudge over Sony, which is odd sinse Sony basically made square-enix thanks to the PS1 and PS2.

what!! Nintendo saved Square, without them there would be no SquareEnix, only Enix. Then they turned and ran to Sony, which they are doing the same now with Microsoft. History is repeating itself here, only they aren't moving to the console leader, just the company willing to pay the most.

But.....Square "ran" to Sony for techological reasons (CD vs. cartridge). There were things they wanted to do with FFVII that simply couldn't be done on the N64. FFVII went on to sell nearly 10 million, so support for the PS1 continued
|
Also, Nintendo screwed Squaresoft. The reason why both FF2 and FF3 Famicon never made it outside of Japan at the time was because Nintendo didn't want competition from Squaresoft. Also, where else was Squaresoft gong to turn to in those days since the NES covered 95% of the marketshare.

Square was happy right they are able to put out games and make a positive return. Then went to Sony because it was just right at the time. They are where they are right now because that felt right to them as well.

If you mean supporting multi-platforms, both handheld and consoles, then yes. Because in the bigger picture, they need all the help they can get. As a former Squaresoft fanboy, the company now known as SquareEnix is nowhere hear where it used to be since the late PSOne days. SquareEniix just doesn't have the impact they used to have anymore with more fierce competition from all developers and deviating from their fanbase unlike Nippon Ichi, Gust, and Atlus thus far.
