Square is slowly fading away as a console devs anyway. not many sales on consoles this gen...

They put some of the biggest PLAYSTATION 2 RPG franchises exclusive to the XBOX 360, what the hell can you expect? I honestly dont believe it was just SQUARE that made all those ip not release on the playstation 3, because if it was they are the dumbest company this gen, I mean honestly if you are on two platforms one which sees good sales in japan, and one that sees great sales in the west, there is your market growth, but exclusive on a platform were RPG's  arent its best selling genre, and its absolutely hated in japan..

I think that whatever Japan would have pulled in for PS3 sales wise...North America balances it out for the 360. I don't think sales would be drastically higher on either platform.

If square doesn't have the manpower to do multiplats, they may as well go for the system that is easier to develop for, if the sales are going to be roughly the same.


I don't think so. The numbers speak for themselves. Square went from the PS2 to the XBox 360. Before the XBox 360 was released every Square game sold millions of copies. Since they started making XBox 360 exclusives, the only million sellers they have had are for the PSP and DS. They have never sold over a million copies of any game on the XBox 360.

I think a more reasonalbe answer as to why Square is so focused on the XBox 360 is because Microsoft is paying them to try to get a foothold in Japan. Anyone who want to deny that is denying common sense. Otherwise, why would they still be making exclusives for a system that can't keep up with [Square] sales on any other console?


So you are saying they should still make games for PS2? CAuse PS3 aint gonna move millions my freind...
