I heard about Square developing hardware, most likely a console, back a LOOOOOONG time ago, maybe a little over a year ago. What happened with that?

Probably just a rumour. I doubt SE would ever jump into the console war.

Me too.  It'd be more money to spend but it'd make things interesting and provide more choices.

With all the FF games they make they would have the most games of all consoles and never need another developers help.

theres more money in the business for software, not hardware. thats why EA doesnt have a console, when it so easily could make one and back it.

EDIT: more *easy* money. if a console fails or just doesnt pick up enough fans, thats a loss of billions of dollars as opposed to losing mllions on a crappy game.

True. Now that I think about it, does SE even have the kind of money to back a console?

From that link, I highly doubt they were implying they were making a console. I think they're going to do some hardware like add-ons to some of the consoles.
