Pit-Jr Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 No mention of Revolution, but logic dictates if these Japanese games can sell on Microsoft's console, surely they can on the Revolution. Bad news for Sony if true, the games that make PS superior keep getting syphoned over to XB (i.e. Metal Gear, GTA) TOKYO--In an interview with Reuters, Square Enix president Yoichi Wada disclosed that his company is considering releasing new installments of its Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest role-playing series on both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. "We will decide by E3 in May [2006] as to whether to release them on both the PS3 and Xbox, or just one platform," Wada told Reuters And dammit i wanna play some Dragon Quest Revolution-style with one hand as god intended
Stocka Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 It won't bother their sales in Japan, like no-one there would buy the 360 versions because they hate Xbox so much.
Pit-Jr Posted November 16, 2005 Author Posted November 16, 2005 I wouldnt be so sure, DQ8 sold 4 million copies in Japan (according to the website)
CooInTheZoo Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 Yeah this is true, Microsofts last attempt to impress the Japanese market by sliding square-enix some money under the table?? :P
Stocka Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 I wouldnt be so sure, DQ8 sold 4 million copies in Japan(according to the website) I'm not saying the games won't sell well on PS3, but I mean 360. EDIT: Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest NOT 360-bound It was a nice dream, at any rate. Faster than you can say Yoichi Wada comes news from Square Enix (via 1up) that the Reuters article from yesterday, which hinted at possible next-generation Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy titles for the Xbox 360, are inaccurate. It appears that Sony will continue to hold the main Final Fantasy franchise as long as it still can.
Jon Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 It works fine as it is only the playstation, jut leave it like that.
Pit-Jr Posted November 16, 2005 Author Posted November 16, 2005 Bummer, i dont want to have to buy a stupid PS3 just for these games. Start sliding over the money M$!!! (or Nintendo)
masaki86 Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 Well; if you wanna play them so desperately, you'll have to get a PS3; I mean, you buy a console because of the games that are on it(in thsi case, you'd buy a PS3 because of FF and DQ) and it should not be because of your opinions of certain hardware producers.
Pit-Jr Posted November 17, 2005 Author Posted November 17, 2005 yeah yeah yeah, ive bough enough crappy Sony hardware for one lifetime so in my case, the hardware producer does matter. Also i dont have money coming out of my ears, or the shelf space for 3 consoles.
masaki86 Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 get over it then; if you're desperate to play them, you know what needs to be done. Either that or shut up about it(meant in an entirely unoffensive manner-just couldn't phrase it properly).
Pit-Jr Posted November 17, 2005 Author Posted November 17, 2005 Double thanks for stating the obvious twice
masaki86 Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 sarcasm is the lowest form of humour you know.......
system_error Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 I doubt Sony can afford to keep both games exclusive because I think Square makes more money if they would release the games on all 3 next-gen consoles. Especially if you look at the hardware base - the 360 will launch in a few days and I doubt Sony will do the same. So to make some money SE should really thing about going multiplattform instead of rather depending on Sony.
Rolf Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 sarcasm is the lowest form of humour you know.......People say that like it's an undisputable fact.
masaki86 Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 People say that like it's an undisputable fact. M'eh; I can't really talk, as I'm a bit of a sarcastic arse most of the time....
