FFXIII on 360!

[muckhole]

I`ve been thinking they should branch out for years, but then I remember that abortion of a racing game they released a few years back.

They also released a baseball game for the PS2 in 1999. Didn't turn out too well.

Basically stop putting your eggs in the Ps3 basket. Share the wealth with the Wii360 masses.

[Van Cruncheon]

he's not talking about new niche ip's, he's talking about squeenix branching into wagglecrap for the casuals/non-gamers. this is what the blue ocean brings, fegs -- your hardcore company will be selling mini-game collections and puzzle games in five years.

[BlueTsunami]

PS3 basket? The majority of their recent games have been purely DS and PSP

Yep. All these SE game developers obviously don't want to make minigames but it seems like the Pres wants to jump on the waggle train.

Yeah, SE has TWO games in development exclusively for the PS3, and from the way people talk about them, they're not really anticipated or anything.

They should just put all their games on the PS3/PSP then. Oh wait, they can't because Sony screwed the pooch, and now they can't sell enough copies of their games to justify their $50 Million budgets. Now it's all up to Nintendo to save gaming...again.

[Positive Touch]

Granted, this is purely a rumor,

that's some quality gaming journalism right there

What in the fuck are you talking about?
bt beat me to it

That their biggest titles. The titles they spent most money on the Ps3.  Other than DQ9, FF/KH Spinoffs. DQ/FF Ports arent in the same level of importance or cost.

[BlueTsunami]

Its not that those franchises are on the PS3 thats troublesome, its that that rely on them at all in the first place that seems to be hurting the company.

Remakes, Ports and a reliance on 3 franchises. Unfortunately the only idea that will come to mind is make horribe Wii games.

The problem with that  is that uninspired minigame collections will not sell, Chocobo Wii bombed in Japan, for example.  Hopefully, they broaden their portfolio.  Square has been in a DQ/FF funk for a while.

just release a next gen. game and wow us all.

capcom did it early with dead rising and look where they are now.

[Cormacaroni]

uh, he didn't just threaten to axe employees 

[MrSingh]

Nomura will re-enact 2girls1cup before he'll let his precious FF13 show up on the 360!

They should axe him first!

[EmCeeGrammar]

This is a guy yelling at nerds for pandering to nerds. Square Enix casual division incoming!

[HyperZoneWasAwesome]

Square used to be good at branching out.

The PS1 era, they had Einhander, they had Bushido Blade, they had great non-Dragon Quest/FF RPG games, they were kicking ass up until X Squad and The Bouncer bombed and they lost their nerve.

[Narag]

Bushido Blade was indeed fucking awesome.

Fuck Wii non-gaming.

Jesus Christ for REAL GAMERS it has even worse library than GameCube.

You cry so fucking much, dude. REAL GAMERS don't limit themselves to one platform anyhow so its a moot point.

[Narag]

REAL GAMERS don't limit themselves to one platform anyhow so its a moot point.

So All Borys needs is a PS2, 360 and his kickass PC and hes pretty much set until next gen.

You can cut out the 360 from that list too.
