At one time in this gaming industry Square Enix were on good terms with Sony. However, on one horrible day at E3 2008, they announced that one of playstation best exclusive series was going on the 360. The 360, who happens to be the Ps3's #1 rivals. It was like a shot heard around the world to Sony. Now I am hearing Square-Enix is pushing 360 to sell more than the ps3 in japan. Japan! which happens to be the place where they are keeping Final Fantasy XIII exclusive. What the hell is going on? I mean I might be overreacting, but Final Fantasy series is probably the best RPG exclusives Sony has to offer. I don't know but after hearing Square Enix talk about pushing 360 in japan, I have lost a lot of respect for Japan. 

What about Square jumping ship from Nintendo to Sony?  Companies jump ship.  It happens.

 Notice anything????


Square Shafted Nintendo b4, atleast PS3's still getting the game. Square left Nintendo high and Dry back in the day...

 

 Square Shafted Nintendo because Nintendo Shafted Square (and lots of other developers).  nowadays, SE think they're so big and bad, and want to be like RockStar.  and Wada can be added to my list of "Biggest A-holes in the gaming industry" (along with Aaron Greenburg,  Peter Molyneux, and that bald guy who looks like a pedophile "Mr. Developers, Developers, Developers")

People still think that Square is the bad guy in the N64-PS1 era, i remember how close Square and Ninty were, they even developed SMRPG for Nintendo, then Yamauchi went crazy and arrogant (Yes Ninty newcomers, it's hard to believe but Ninty execs can be arrogant), and all hell broke loose... Square was so pissed that they didn't do a SINGLE GAME FOR A NINTENDO SYSTEM until Satoru Iwata replaced Yamauchi...

Of course, Sony was more than happy when this happened, so much that they offered the heaven to them, FF7 publishing in the West, heavy marketing campaign, etc.

This time, i don't think Square is pissed at Sony, Wada just did business, what i don't like is the lying...

I don't think "might" is strong enough a word.  What have you heard?  Pics or it didn't happen.

 Exactly. he called Square's...no...he called RPGs "Slow and Boring".  Sony is/was nowhere near as arrogant/tyranical/egotistical as Nintendo was back in the 90s.

this is different becuase they are ditching a japanese company for an american one. japanese companies are traditionally very nationalistic. that is how this differs from the SNES -> PS1 split.

Calling RPGs slow and boring is no where near as arrogant or egotyistical as suggesting that people will happily get a second job to buy your system.

Whocares, they are washed up and irrelevant almost.

FF13 better be the greatest rpg they ever made to get them out of the shiet whole they have dug them self's into.

Oh yeah, I remember those days... they were a lot of fun.

On topic, when I heard about it I didn't think so much betrayal as much as I thought... "What about those 360 exclusives? They're all going multiplat too, right?". I guess I know nothing about business...

I think is stupid that that they keep not supporting the Wii, when it's obvious the machine is not going to stop selling any time soon. Seriously the shareholders must be frowning pretty hard. The Wii is cheaper to develop for and actually sells more software than both the HD consoles. Anything at this point would be good. Make a port of Crisis Core and put some waggle on that shit. And FFXIV will obviously be on the Wii. Yes the Wii, you know why? Because it won't take this much time to develop for it and it will be out before the Wii stops selling.
