[QUOTE="Korrigan777"][QUOTE="mubarakibnumar"][QUOTE="NeoStar9"][QUOTE="stika"][QUOTE="daqua_99"] Square stays true to Sony because of the history.
Why would Square go to MS ... Square is a Japanese company and the 360 is selling like crap in the land of the rising sun.
Square won't go to Nintendo (or put their entire hopes on Nintendo) due to the history which they have (bad one might we add).

i didnt know nintendo and square had a bad history
I think the bad history between Square and Nintendo comes from the supposed backstabing by Square to Nintendo during the time of the PlayStation 1 and Nintendo 64. i remember reading, and perhaps others might have come across the same thing, that when Square jumped ship to the PlayStation Nintendo didn't really put up much of a fight and that kinda insulted Square to some degree. Also that Sony had made a LOT of promises to Square if they could get others to develop on the PS1. Which leads to why a number of companies, mainly RPG ones I believe pulled their support from Nintendo. Then Square went on to publicly bad mouth Nintendo for a while.
I don't believe their bad relationship had to do with Nintendo still using carts as the could hold as much info as the cds at the time. Not all N64 games were the same size remember, they range from small to large. I think the above is also the reason why we didn't see a Square game on a Nintendo console for so long due to the bad blood that form due to Square's actions. I also seem to recall reading that due to that Square had a hard time getting games on the GBA and then the Nintendo DS. They had to make a Cube game in order to be allowed a DS kit. Which could be why FFCC on the Cube seem so below par. They might have been going through the motions since the real money was rereleasing all of their old Final Fantasy games on the Nintendo DS and GBA. I think before they were allowed to that Square actually made a public apology for their actions that caused the rift between the two companies. I do recall being pointed to an article that talked about that. It was said during an announcement of something else Square was announucing at the time.
How solid this all is I'm not sure. However it makes more sense to me that is what would have caused the rift between the two companies in the past and would explain why some companies decided to pull support the way they did. It just being that Nintendo still wanted to use carts just doesn't work for me. Could the cost of having to pay Nintendo for the carts been more then the losses they would have and most likely did get hit with due to the people pirating games on the PS1 due to them being on CDs? I don't think so.[/QUOT[QUOTE="stika"][QUOTE="daqua_99"] Square stays true to Sony because of the history.

I don't think so.All this is in the past. If SE wants to make money then their only alternative is to fully support the DS and Wii.
Explain why Square-enix havent yet cancelled FF13Versus for ps3 (seeing as they've spent less dev time on it) and make it a wii exclusive with 5 Ds spin offs?
The game is too far in development for it to be cancelled. You are also forgetting that SE has invested in an engine of their own(an engine that was built initially for the ps3 only).
the engine is open platform.
The game wouldnt be cancelled just shifted onto the wii.
This doesnt counter the "5 ds spin offs" thing.
