Forums - Sony - Square Enix prefers MS over Sony?

SnakeEyez on 31 July 2008

In the latest EGM that should be hitting subscribers any day now, they talk about the rise and fall of Japan. Basically they're saying that alot of problems occur when trying to make a game for the ps3. They said that's one of the reasons star ocean 4 isn't going on the ps3(they didn't say exclusive so who knows) same goes with infinite undiscovery(they said its owned by square enix now, not microsoft) and how final fantasy xiii goes multiplatform. So it's unsure what's gonna happen now, games may no longer go exclusive. (cue : "so much for Versus 13 PS3 exclusive" or the classic "YES! now I dont have to buy a PS3!!!")

Of course they prefer Microsoft. If somebody kept giving you large sums of money would you not prefer them too.

They prefer money over all haha. Which is why the remakes persist haha.

Why does it make it ok to be betrayed by a company as long as that company had a good reason? I mean, does saying Microsoft had to pay, make it feel like Square-Enix is really on your side, but they're just grifting the MS fans while they're at it?

Doesn't matter if MS paid for games, or if they didn't. If Square could make one extra dollar by porting a Sony game to the 360, they would. Development cost for HD consoles is high, and companies making core games across the industry are in dire straights. Money is all that matters, if it's profit from 360 consumers, lump sums from Microsoft, or Playstation cash.

I mean it's fine to speculate on motives here, but I'm talking about a broader talking point of PS3 fans claiming "oh MS just paid for it' which means Sony didn't!

So, that either means MS cares more about their fans, or MS is richer. Take your pick. Neither one of them marginalize Microsoft or Square-Enixs decision, so explain to me why it is better for Microsoft to have paid SE for the exclusives, than if they got them for free, from a Playstation 3 fans point of view.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

If a person handed your wife large sums of money, of course she would leave you for the guy making the offer. Who wouldn't? Its been dated back in history that anyone would do anything for money. It just depends on how desperate they are.

It's not as much a matter of Square Enix and PS3 as 360 VS PS3. If PS3 owners know that the reason they are getting the raw end of the deal is because MS payed for it, as oppose to PS3's poor performance, it is a lot easier to deal with.
