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.
