Ps2 fanboys can rejoice
"IGN has learned that Square has decided NOT to develop for Microsoft\'s Xbox, after all. Square had originally said that it was interested in Xbox development, and has apparently been in discussions with Microsoft, but recently we heard that Square has decided to pull away from any Xbox development, although it\'s still listed as a developer. As everybody knows, it\'s quite easy to become a listed developer, which is different than actually developing for a system. Also, Enix has yet to sign any deal with Microsoft. Is Xbox going to have a tough time in Japan? You bet."
The succsess of Xbox in Japan (maybe even in the states) IS DOUBTFULL. First Konami, then Square??!?!

I am afraid the the system may become the Next atari Jaguar. It doesn\'t take specs to win a console war.

Xbox is just getting hammered with bad news and vibes
ouch !!!!!!!!!!

Saturn sold 5 million in a little over a year without Square,Konami, or Enix. Having a couple huge developers is not all that bad, it just gives the smaller developers a chance to shine.
What is the similarity behind the two? Sega is listed for both. It is going to be my prediction that X-Box will do VERY well in America, the place where most of us live.
you guys know how I feel about Square, and for them would add instant sales to X-Box, but would crapify the games, as every small developer is then crushed because they have no chance to shine versus huge developers. Square sucks.

I heard the Final Fantasy X will get food tie ins (Sony said they were working with Square and Konami a while back) Look for your Burger King or McDonalds or whatver cups and wrappers to be covered with FFX characters!
-
Thanks for the info. Why wouldn\'t Square want to develop for the Xbox??? It must be personal matters or something. I don\'t care...as long as I get my Final Fantasy X...:)

Beasty,
I think you\'re a bit jaded because Square never wanted to support SEGA. Get over it, to say Square \'sucks\' is ludicrous, not all their games are the best, but they do make great games.
Compare PSX sales to Saturn sales.. I love(d) the Saturn as much as the next guy (gotta love its 2d) but let it RIP man. Not to mention the PSX destroyed the Saturn in software sales. The small developers get crushed regardless. How well did Treasure\'s games do in Japan for the Saturn? Not very well @ all, and they are all amazing. So no, Square does not suck.
When some of the biggest 3rd party companies don\'t want to invest in Xbox, that is definitely a huge disadvantage.. Square, Konami is skeptical, and so is Namco.

- what\'s in the f\'cking box?
-
Because Sony has them in check. And, it looks like they only develop for 1 company for 2 Generations (IE: NES and SNES)

FUNNY!!!
X-Box isn\'t living up to the hype!
HYPE
HYPE
HYPE
PS2 is just getting over it!
But TBF likes the PS2!!!!!
-
Good for Bill!! Well, we must face that the Xbox is a very powerful system someday........but Mr. Gate got some bad rep. in the computer business. :( Too bad...
-
Although I don\'t truly care what games are/arn\'t on the Xbox, this news makes me smile for some unknown reason that I have yet to identify...
-
Square has made NO announcements about XB yet animal. Stop quoting rumors....

Ummmm, you think the PS2 is living up to the hype??? Half the people I know who have one extremely disagree (including me). They are either using it mainly as a DVD player or anticipating games that aren\'t out yet. Did Sony/the media ever mention this when the PS2 was about to hit the shelves?

LMAO
There\'s always one, but to be honest THX, I\'d say close to 90% are very satisfied, and it is just warming up.
Oh well, can\'t please everyone
I\'m having a blast

Well that IGN rumor was posted off of the IGN PSX website. So its kind of meaningless.
The problem with this industry is that its becoming a industry of console whores, which just make crap up and believe its real to make another console look bad.
This practice is done by people on each console platform and they delight when something actually does go wrong for competitors... (ahem Animal Mother ahem).
Who knows, maybe by E3 2002, a ton of developers or companies will drop PS2. I won\'t be laughing because competition is everything, but I am sure there will be console whores just laughing away.
I know a lot of websites that are "Sony whores". They would give blowjobs to Sony execs. Its pretty sad....
Also before everyone believes the rumor, maybe we should just wait and see. I mean after all if we believed everything about the PS2, we would already have PS3 in our hands.
Also another interesting note is that SQUARE is losing a ton of money and either Sony has bought them out to go to first party or they want to screw themselves up.
So I just don\'t give credence to this rumor.

You mean Square is planning to support the GameCube a lot which is similar in power with the XBOX.
Is that what you are hinting?

Yeah.I suppose Sony is the only one.:rolleyes:
Can you post a proof of what you are saying?Or you hate Sony that much?
Are you DocWiz?

Sony wins the war one more time, I think.

Actually I wasn\'t. I just have passionate feelings of hatred towards the Xbox and this news is more bad news for it which is good news.
But I don\'t see Square developing only for PS2. They can make more money by developing for more systems.Once that braindead idiot Nintendo President Yamauchi retires I think Square will jump on Nintendo\'s ship with a few games.
Are you DocWiz?
Yes he is, and everything he says should be taken as a joke.
Sony wins the war one more time, I think
I think it\'s a little premature to make that call.
-
5-0 , Sony is winning
I wounder witch one is the smartest, Bill Gates with his x-box or Einstein with his relativity theory?
-
ddaryl- ok fine, it\'s all about opinions anyway, and this is a PS2 board so it\'s pretty much useless to argue on my part. My ps2 is seriously collecting some dust though. :( I really wish it wasn\'t....
Bossieman- Actually Billy Gates is a pretty smart cookie. He scored over 200 on his IQ test. No easy task by any means. Too bad he\'s such a f***en jerk!
-
But they could not even measure Einstein IQ, he was just to bright, the keep some of his braincells for future use.
-
even though this is rumour wasn\'t squaresoft\'s supposed support of Xbox rumor in the first place but every xbox fan was so sure it was true - but now that there is a rumor otherwise - it must be false
-
Sublimesjg- I\'ve always said wait n see, but to be fair, the ONLY place this rumor came from was a \'Off the record\' page on IGN. EVERY game mag and lots of sites were saying at one point that Square was strongly hinting at XB support. Me personally? I don\'t like Square that much, so its no loss to me, besides the fact that I have a PS2 and will have a NGC. I can play any Square game released....
Hmmm... that was pretty long a response to your general statement... oh well... :)
Jumpman-Seriously, what the hells wrong with you? In my darkest hour (upon reading the confirmation that Sega was ceasing DC production) I was madder than hell at Sony, ****, I even boycotted... for a couple days ;), but even then I didnt really want to see PS2 fail. Why do you hate XB so much? All the anti-MS rhetoric I\'ve heard could be leveled at Sony just as easily by any intelligent person.
And btw, Yamauchi hasn\'t stopped Square from making GC games, I believe they said they\'d be making 2 at least...
-
Ethugg - i totally agree
i am so sick and tired of people qouting rumors as facts. when sites quoted rumors of FFXI on Xbox - everyone just took it for truth - but yet square had not annouced their support and MS was just hoping they would - and now once again another rumor surfaces - this time about the rumor before - so what we have is two non facts contradicting each other - yet people state these as facts
go figure
