My final fantasy DS remakes and other square-enix DS remakes dollars hard at work!

^^ This,  they are simply expanding their business not transforming it.

I don't see anywhere that implies they are shutting down one aspect of their business in order to start another.

LOLOL

....you're not serious are you?

Well, maybe the fact that the PS3 is far behind in NA and they are planning to focus that studio on NA.

I wonder if this studio can help with the localization of various games in the future?

Anyway, my guess is that they already have enough Sony Devs currently on Staff or lined up.

That would mean that the 360 and Wii stand to gain the most from this particular move, not that the PS3 was going to be abandoned.

If, for example, Taco Bell were to open 10 new locations in Florida, would they then be forced to close all of their locations in California?

Obviously not. That kind of logic makes no sense.  It just means that Florida is going to get 10 new taco bells while California retains the same number they have. 

PS - Note that they are talking about hiring new staff here and not about shifting their existing staff to 360 and Wii projects.

Looks into thread...sees first comment by gebx about article.....realizes again why gebx had been banned....{chuckles to himself}

Do people still think game companies are abandoning the PS3? 17 Million consoles WW is nothing now is it??

Valve who are very arrogant themselves said they didn't expect PS3's userbase to rise & they think business wise it would now make sense to have their games on it....then why would S-E abandon the PS3?

but they havent sold 17m according to vgchartz....
