I honestly can't see SE going for Nintendo again just cause the wiiU is selling like ass... Would be great if they did though

True, the Wii U isn't selling the best but with funding for development from Nintendo, Square-Enix wouldn't have anything to lose.

They still wanna be able to make a reasonable profit, which tbh probably won't be much on the Wii U even if the development is covered, better off making a PS4/X1 multiplat.


If Nintendo fund it, SE can only make profit. If would be exclusive, I bet it would sell well

The profit has to be enough to jusify the years of development time, which I doubt it would.  Also I'm sure SE is aware Nintendo does not have a good track record of advertising their third party exclusives.

even it sell 1 unit, Nintendo already paid. SE would not care about sales

Ofc they'd care, they want to make a reasonable profit, if they feel like they're not gonna get that on Wii U even with the development paid for then they will just make the game for PS4/X1 where they think they will make more money.  They are also familiar with the PS4/X1 consoles and not with the Wii U's.

It's a PS4 game.

No reason to think otherwise.

It's a 3DS-game. Maybe Vita.

 

No reason to think otherwise.

Sure their is

“Actually, right now, we’re working on a new RPG specifically for consoles and it isn’t a remake,” Matsuda told Famitsu. “We’ll start talking about it more in December and go from there.”
All depends on SQEX definition of consoles.

It has a bigger chance to be an Xbox One exclusive than for it to come for WiiU.

 

Square already abandoned the console.


This would only be reasonable if Microsoft would be willing to fund a project, being they are getting FFXV and KHIII I don't think that'll be the case. Who knows though, Microsoft might surprise everyone.

They got Tomb Raider as an exclusive from Square Enix, didn't they?

Not a jrpg, which don't tend to sell well on Xbox.

Didn't they make bravely default? Supposedly it's the best jrpg of the year.

Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance actually had amazing advertising.

Think in Bayo2 case: PLatinum don't care if the game sell 1 unit or 1million because Nintendo paid everything. Would be the same case

So, this does not indicate there is a reason to believe it wouldn't come to 3DS or Vita...
