and Maybe a Lightning Returns and hopefully a new exclusive Crystal Chronicles title.

Having said that, I really wouldn't want to see them put a next gen final fantasy on the Wii U in fear of the system scaling down the ambitions of the project.

I think Square-Enix may have no choice; the more they aspire to make their titles more "realistic", the more it costs, plus Sony's systems are becoming less and less feasible.  And the PS4 isn't exactly guaranteed to be a hit in Japan, either.  And if it DOES turn out to be more expensive, that could probably bankrupt S-E.  And I'm sure they don't wanna see that happen.

But they have Microsofts system to release it on as well. Main line final fantasy has always been high risk as they throw a ton of money at those titles but they've all sold 5m+, even XIII with its mixed reception managed to sell 7m. They're almost guranteed to make their money back as long they don't drag out development for 6 years and keep a distinction between Real Final fantasy's and lessor endevours like Lightning Returns. Also Square always have the blanket of protection from their lower risk titles like Dragon Quest, all their re-releases and Edios title. They won't be going bankrupt any time soon
