Square-Enix to have their own CONSOLE?

Postby Arimasen » Sat Sep 16, 2006 11:21 am

In the Loose Talk section on the new GameInformer:

Square Enix is currently broadening their focus to include a piece of hardware. An RPG console? This comes as a surprise, considering that this RPG Juggernaut has no experience in hardware. Yoichi Wada, president of Square Enix, has recently revealed that they will collaborate with Taito, who has experience in hardware.

“Square Enix will collaborate with Taito, a company that produces physical hardware. In our talks with Taito, ideas for an actual physical product have come up.”

This is an interesting move for Square Enix. Does this mean that they will only release their games on this new system? Are they looking take their franchises away from all other consoles? Is this move towards harboring their mascots on one system, similar to Nintendo’s strategy? What do you think? Inquiring minds want to know.


Also thanks to Kotaku.

This got brought up on the show a couple weeks ago. An interesting theory that came up is that it could be a new arcade machine.

An Arcade Machine would make sense and be sort of cool... Imagin something like Derby Owners club but with FF11 (character card system and everything)... (i can see Skie drooling already :P)...

As for a console... idk i cant really see that working... I mean playing FF11 on PC, 360 or PS2 seems to be working fine for most people...
