Sure they could.. But Sony could tripple.. No 15x the number MS is offering.. Everything is good in theory.

Its not gonna happen. Square is Sony\'s little whore.. Whether they like it or not. Sony has bailed them out to many times.

Square is in dept to Sony.. Remember?

Enix on the other hand is a open book.. From that comment.. It doesn’t seem like they are to keen to develop for the Xbox though.

FFXI was never planned (or plain :p) for XBox...a Square guy once said it might go multiconsole and they had GC in mind...TeamXBox picked it up and thought that multi-console meant XBox...but this was a long time ago...it started so many rumours...if only people actually read the article properly...

Eeeeewwww...

First you sexually harrass the members, now the admin...

July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.
