Wada is the CEO, a buisness man, he not the reason FF13 spent 5 years in development. that is Kitase's fault for spending 5 years developing a game engine primarily for cutscenes and now realising that Crystal Tools is obsolete.

its also not Wada's fault SEs games have not been making enough money - its the developers who simply arnt making games good enough - ie. The Last Rebellion, Infinite Undiscovery, The 3rd Birthday!!

Lol why? What exactly has Level-5 made that is remotely any good besides Rogues Galaxy? WKC was underwhelming, Dark Cloud is piss poor, and PL is well not my cup of tea.

ok serious question, why is SquareEnix doing so badly???

Final Fantasy XIV mostly, maybe also because their handheld games haven't yielded the best results in the west, and crappy HD games that really shouldn't have been released. 

This year they should do much better. 

Last Rebellion and Infinite Undiscovery were only published by Square (Infinite Undiscovery originally to be published by Microsoft).  The 5 year dev time for Final Fantasy XIII is Wada's fault cause after 2.5 years of dev and game development going no where he should have hammered down and be like "This game's getting released next year".  I mean; the game didn't get into full development until a year and a half before its release (Which is pretty much why the game is an incoherent mess).  Same with Final Fantasy 14, I mean people should have realized how bad the game was and it should never have been released, yet he let it release in the messy state it was in.  Yes Wada is a business man and yes it's his fault the company isn't being run properly.  Like I'll cut him some slack his producers and such for games should be managing things better, but it's Wada's job to make sure they're doing their jobs, the entire upper management is a mess right now and that's Wada's job to fix.

hmmm, I thought their handheld games were doing great, and totally forgot aout XIV, I hope they get it together for Hitman (my favorite game pulished by them)
