I'm not dreaming - just quoting what I have read. This from "the-magicbox.com":
In a recent interview in Nikkei News, Square Enix president Yoichi Wada said the company will adopt worldwide simultaneous release and multi-platform development strategy for the next-gen market, the reason is to reach broader audience worldwide.
- 1UP reported that Square Enix will reveal a number of new Kingdom Hearts game titles at Tokyo Game Show, one of which will be heading to PSP.

Now, no question that FF is their biggest franchise - and most important. And if this is their new "strategy", wouldn't it also apply to FF?
And I doubt its also coming to the Wii, unless its just a scaled down version - meaning both PS3 / 360 versions in development. Both machines are almost identical after all, its not *that* hard to do this. And if they need to release it in 2 or 3 discs for the 360... so what? This isn't even a slight deterrent to development.
@re Sony owning 10% of SE: So what? Any company can buy shares in any other company you know - its called an investment. And they usually do it when they see more potential for growth in that company, than they do in theirs.
There is a good reason why there are rules in place to stop a company from "secretly" buying so much of a company, that they end up controlling it (which is called a takeover). Sony do NOT control SE.
...
SE are not stupid. If they decided to exclusively back the PS3, I think there would be a shareholder revolt - for "profit" reasons. Why target < 20% of the worldwide console market, when you could target, 40% or even 100% of it?
