Square-Enix gets an ego, supports Sony, but not too much

Yes, Square-Enix is huge. Very, very huge. It may very well be the one developer that makes or breaks Sony's new console (much like a certain Bungie that helped along another suffering system). This is why in a recent interview, senior VP at Square-Enix Michihiro Sasaki said they were going to support the PS3 mainly. He added smartly (sarcasm) "We don't want the PlayStation 3 to be the overwhelming loser, so we want to support them. But we don't want them to be the overwhelming winner either, so we can't support them too much." Oh... kay.

What does this mean for us, the Playstation 3 loyalists? We'll get our not-really-final Final Fantasy XIII, hopefully our Dragon Quest IX, and other Square-Enix titles (how about reviving the Illusion of Gaia/Terranigma franchise? Please? Oooh, or Vagrant Story!). However, other consoles will be graced with a bit of Squeenix's presence (Sylpheed for the 360, Dragon Quest Swords for Wii...) but it would appear... not as much presence. Not surprising, but Square-Enix is sticking behind Sony this round, too. With Square's penchant for radically beautiful FMV's, they might actually use Blu-ray storage to its limit. Perhaps a perk of sticking with Sony?
