| zero129 said: Change "buy" the company to "money hat" the company. Why did it take so long for the latest FF games to be ported to Xbox or PC, since they are all so similar now? And all those games were exclusive for moneyhat reasons. Why do you think they took so long to come to an Xbox console and got bad pc ports? |
Because the main audience for Final Fantasy is on Playstation and Square-Enix prioritized development on Sony's platform first. Also because Sony provided funding so that the game could get greenlit. Many games that got delayed releases on PC and Xbox only ever got made because Sony helped to fund the production of said games. Also because while all systems are similar now, the phrase "easy to port" is relative. Compared to ports from PS1 to PC it's easy. But that doesn't mean it's going to be a quick process.
All what games were exclusive for moneyhat reasons? All four games?
Anyway... Nintendo will follow Sony's method of acquiring companies that have a long track record of making 2nd party exclusives. They aren't going to say, buy up Capcom and then make Monster Hunter exclusive to Switch 2. Or buy up Sega and make all Persona games exclusive to Switch 2. Only Microsoft does that sort of thing.
