That's the thing. He went on to say in the same interview that the 3DS had the same problem at launch. Selective quoting is awesome though.

"When we launched the 3DS hardware we didn't have Super Mario 3D Land, we didn't have Mario Kart 7, we didn't have Kid Icarus: Uprising,"

"We were striving to have all of these ready for the launch, but we weren't able to deliver them at that time. We were kind of hoping that people would, nevertheless, buy into the product, find 3DS hardware promising, but looking back we have to say we realise the key software was missing when we launched the hardware."

Wrong, Squareenix is the type of company who will go and try to expand into other regions even if it is a risk, if what your comment said was true, than the GCN wouldnt of had a FF game but guess what, it did.

Look at what happened to the PSP for example, the first FF game came out 3 years after the release of the PSP and after that a couple of more came out. I wouldnt be surprised if they announce a official release date of a FF game at this year's E3 (and no I dont mean FFX HD/remake).

That still doesnt mean they wont release a game on the Vita ever. How would you know if its a stupid idea, do you work for Squareenix o.O? You dont even know how many people said it was a stupid idea to release a FF game on the GCN but it was a good thing because it brought new fans to the series and actually brought forth a new set of sequels/ports.

The same thing happened with the GBA, NDS and the PSP and I'm pretty sure it will happen to the Vita especially considering the fact their portable titles are more popular than the console titles they've been making in the past few years.

Square Enix is one of those compaies that goes where the sales are. In that case, it won't happen.

riiiiiiiiiiiiight, cause some of the best games they released this gen werent on psp..... crisis core, dissidia, ff type-0, birth by sleep, lord of arcana. its just too bad some of those arent available digitaly.

they are already supporting the vita with lord of apocalypse, it's only a matter of time till we see more titles, hopefully better ones than army corps of hell.

Now now Ninpie, I said they take risks on the subject we are talking about, what you said was the fact that they make stupid decisions (i.e. FFXI, FFXIV, and DQX like you said, I mean seriously why couldnt they just make a FFOnline or DQOnline and not make the online game part of the main franchise line ~.~) which make no sense, these arent risks, these are 100% failure attempts XD.

Oh God! XD That game looks so bad! I wish I never saw it.

That isn't the whole reason. 3DS and Vita just don't seem to have much appeal in the West. Other than the Mario Games. Japan has many more games than the West does so it is doing better over there. USA isn't bad but Europe is horrible. (Despite it being near US's sales.) It should pick up this Holiday, a lot, though.

Yeah, but why doesn't it appeal to the western market?? except that there's no games out yet (except, like, 4 AWSEOME games)?
