Square Going Multiplatform?

05.22 8pm EST

At a shareholder meeting this morning in Tokyo, Square president Hisashi Suzuki delivered disappointing financial news to investors. Largely blamed on the delay of Final Fantasy X for the PlayStation 2 and the PlayOnline Network, Square profits tumbled for the fiscal year. More importantly however, president Suzuki-san briefly addressed developmental concerns. Specifically, in light of expected competition from Nintendo\'s GameCube and Microsoft\'s Xbox, Suzuki-san said Square is interested in moving away from creating standalone console titles to delivering their games to a worldwide audience in the future. >>>>!!!!!!!!Moreover, he confirmed that negotiations with Microsoft to work on the Xbox have been ongoing for nearly two years.!!!!!!!<<<<<

If this is true this makes my xbox purchase even better.   Whoa, if they sign xbox is here to stay plain and simple.  What do you great people think of this?

It will surely help the xbox that\'s for sure. Especially in Japan.

I hope that if it\'s true, Square will go the SEGA route and develop different games for the different consoles and not just ports.

Sounds cool.This will bring pressure on Sony to either get of their butt and produce more quality games or...........invest heavily in Square,therefore forcing them into developing more for the PS.2.

Either way it\'ll bring some movemovement into the game market

Yes they did, and you will be expecting Sony to bring that up also.  

Sony: Don\'t forget Square we made that Final Fantasy movie, so any move to the X-Box would be hell for you.

Square: Ok, Ok, we will stay.

Actually, add this in place of that last one...

Square: Don\'t forget we helped you sell lots of systems before you were king of the game world. We helped give you the lead, and push N64 off to the side for 2nd place.

Don\'t hate me for the truth...

I dont mind where square goes if they want to
GCN, DC, ps2, atari, couldnt care less I will eventually get the xbox when its like dirt cheap and Im getting a gamecube and already own alot of consoles.


SQUARE CANT HIDE FROM ME!
muhaha

their poor fiscal year is due to the fact they didnt release many games, who they made those games for is irrelevant.  Imagine how much money they would have lost if Sony werent helping them out???

they will remain with Sony
