Like Konami, Square Enix is becoming irrelevant

Damm that’s shame and a surprise for me, Human Revolution was a good game, but I remembered reading something and it’s maybe not such a surprise after all. :(

Square Enix said that they would be focusing more on mobile after some bad results. Square blamed most of the losses on "underperformance of major titles for consumer game consoles in North America and Europe."

Now thats a real low blow for me. Not cool.

SE has put out absolute crap on mobile platforms anyway, and the the games that didnt suck were just ports of much older games. However this is Eidos so it might be alright. Still wont get it, as i dont have an I device and i dont plan on getting one, ever.

I don't get why everyone is upset.... I for one am actually looking for good core games on mobile devices... I don't understand why they did not go with virtual thumb sticks but the game dosen't seem to be terrible.

With the release of KOTOR on and I'm actually enjoying Injustice: GAU. I know it would make more sense for it to be on Vita, but I still like that devs are giving some love to my iPad.

This is what Square are forecasting and you can see where they are heading, phones and tablets are getting lots of predicted growth, seems console gaming remains static. With the release of next gen end of this year, I would have thought going into 2014/15 there would be an upturn in growth for game consoles?

People feel that time and resources are going away from consoles where that should be SE focus since they generally do make console games. Some also feel the game would never be as good as it could be since it is on a device that doesnt even have any buttons. SE also doesnt have the greatest track record on mobiles. 

I hate you so much Square Enix

How can this touch based games inspired on core franchises can not come to the VITA? I really dont get it.

I was expecting a sequel to HR for nextgen D:

This sucks, considering Deus EX: HR is pretty much my favorite game since... uhh the last Deus Ex.

Hopefully they announce a console game to go with it. Like the Dead Space IOS game to Dead Space 2. The thing is like dead space, the game type really doesn't work that great on IPAD.
