Square Enix has embarrassed themselves this gen.

This thread seems more of the  " they didn't support the Wii" bullshit again. Blame the DS which has taken the major games in Japan. They have released one major FF game in the consoles while the PS2 enjoyed a couple. They have't release any DQ games on the consoles yet. We are comparing a full LTD of support to just acouple years. I am sure the PS3 and 360 numbers will increase.

Considering that the Wii has over 50% of the market and that the Wii has so far not received any large support from SE, as opposed to the PS3 and Xbox360, you can't really say it's "bull shit". Because it ain't. Not a single good game on Wii from them.

By the logic of your DS comment, FF13 and other games should have gone to either DS or PSP. But landed on the HD consoles. Previous gen, SE had a final fantasy out within one year of the release of PS2 and had released another 3-4 games in the next 2 years (Kingdom Hearts, Star Ocean, Unlimited Saga, can't remember the last one) so overall a good flow of good games for the market leader.

Today we see that SE basically shafted the Wii and it's hurting them financially and and image-wise. Especially if the best two games they had to offer so far in Japan were two dragon quest spin offs where one is a first person slasher and the other is a card-based rpg game with graphics from the ps2 era.

For me it's a blatant sign of wasted potential on SE's side. 

FFXIII is one game, and a game many has bashed, what other games has SE released on the consoles the Wii should have had?

The Wii is not the PS2, it's not going to get even half of the major third party games when just dance is such a hit, when you can do much better selling casual games on it. SE'S biggest issue is FFXIII  which took forever and so much of their resources, and then that mess you call ff14.

Bolded part holds true but only for some type of casual games.  Furthermore SE didn't even try that. The problem is not that FF13 didn't come to Wii, the problem is that no decent game at all came to the Wii from SE. We say that the Wii will never be a PS2, well that's just because someone in the companies management is to thick to realize that they never actually gave a shot at it. 

At this point SE doesn't have much to lose so they might as well try to make a game for the Wii outside of Dragon Quest X. i don't really mean something like final fantasy or kingdom hearts but something new, like last remnant was new this gen.

PS3 is barely 6m units in Japan vs the >11m units from Wii. SE had been banging it's head against the HD wall throughout the whole gen, why not try a different tactic? Make a solid effort on the Wii and there will be sales that will bring in the money.
