Microsoft buys out Square/Enix!!

hehe Microsoft had to do this move in order to get Japan sales.  Since Microsoft got into the gaming business all this buying out of game companies is not good for a company.  More money more problems.  He\'s forcing people to get the Xbox.

What is the big deal if square develop for the Xbox? i have a ps2 and xbox and i couldn\'t care less which console they develop on, i would be happy if they developed for PS2, XBOX and GC that way everyone gets to play there games, which in return would mean more sales for square, and make the gaming industry grow, which means better things for us gamers.
People take this whole square thing to serious, do you really think that it would hurt the PS2 that much, i don\'t. The PS2 has a good name, and is very very well knowen, they will still sell loads of consoles.
But i would like to see what they could do with the Xbox hardware.

But anyway that is just the way i feel about things.

Microsoft don`t need Square to sell in Japan. They need horse breeding- and subway-simulations. And dancing games. And Karaoke games. And other weird stuff.

Here\'s what the article basically said :

"We are speaking with Microsoft and we have no current games in development for Microsoft."

That\'s like me talking to the Air Force about making a personal nuclear bomb for me. And their response : "We are speaking with GmanJoe. We have no bomb under development for Gman."

What news is that? They\'re always talking in some form or another.

Ethan_Hunt,

We (and a few others) seem to be on the same page when it comes to gaming. How come we are a rare breed??

Hey, no need for senseless forum bashing guys.  We don\'t want to start a forum war over a couple of guys talking trash about a different forum.

i know its not a point but a prospect none the less and the important reason for Sqaure/Enix to develop for Xbox is for the japanese support - and if sqaure and enix arent gonna think about making games that would pull in the japanese market like ffXII, Etc. and Dragon Warroir - then its all in vain because it wont make a difference much in xbox sales

Why would that kill rumours? Microsoft could probably buy 20% of square, don\'t you think? I mean MS could pump big money into square as well, and it doesn\'t sound like Square if it is true, is ruleing out makeing games for Xbox, if they are talking to MS in the first place, but that is if the rumour is true in the first place.

Also Ace i am glad to see someone feels the same way i do to. If i was to hear that square was developing for all consoles that would be great.

Well you want my opinion on the whole subject? Good I\'ll share...
It\'s just wishful thinking to me. It could happen, but not anytime soon. And if you really want to know the truth, I could care less if Square did develop for Microsoft or Nintendo. In other words, I wouldn\'t lose to much sleep over it if it happened.
