Terrible plan. They failed at managing their own budgets and ran their company in to the ground and now they are switiching to making mobile phone games hoping for quick cash.

It wouldn't bother me at all if they were all to completely flop and Square Enix went bankrupt, in fact I may well enjoy their failure. Sad really, considering Square was and still is my favourite developer of all time. Square Enix are a far cry from Square

They aren't switching to anything, if you click on the link you'd see the mobile games are in addition to the major AAA games, they help bring in profits while development on AAA is going on.

Seems to imply less proper games though. If they didn't blow so much money on each game they could easily make more console games and have them be much more profitable.

Yes it does imply less AAA games since the AA games and mobile games are gonna take up some of the manpower.  It is true that FF15 is the reason KH3 isn't out yet and the relaunch of FF14 pretty much halted production on most other major projects.  They need to put more effort into the early stages of development instead of having to redo everything years down the line.
