Playstation 3 Software & Firmware \ Some VERY dark Square-Enix rumors

Translation:

Well there is no assertion but some seem credible (the first), the others not.

1st October, Square Enix should announce the creation of Square Enix Holdings, which becomes the new home of Squenix, with funds 100% auto finance.
Sony will have absolutely no right in this new society this is the way to get rid of SE shares that Sony has.

The FF XIII PS3 exclusivity in Japan may fall ... As Versus, SO4 pass out under conditions (see below). Last remnant might even be cancelled on PS3 if its sales on Xbox are bad.

In fact, no longer Square games on PS3 !

Nomura is really the last bastion and the only one who want work on PS3, even in his team it makes the atmosphere tense because they want work on 360.
Apparently, the pressure is so hard, it could be that Nomura resigns soon .......
They have started dev 360 since March at Square.

SO4 is in 60 fps, FF XIII 30
If SO4 exceeds 1.5 million sales in the world, it remain exclusive for the 360

Squenix will focus on devs PSP and Xbox 360.

Personally, I think it's rubbish. i don't see why SE would do this when 360 is doing so poorly in Japan.

That is some pretty bad stuff. Not sure whether it's all true, i highly doubt it. But even remote possibilities of the smallest amount is bad....very bad.

Even now a lot of PS3 owners arn't happy. They bought the console for RPG's alone, and we're not getting any love from the publishers, only small handouts here and there.

That seems like a load of crap. Why would square want to stop developing for the PS3 all together?

Its like with the announcement of FFXIII coming to 360. People every where assume that Microsoft paid square large amounts of money for it to happen. But I bet they didn’t, I think square just realized they would seel more copies if it was on multiple platforms.

Apparently the decision came only a few days before E3. But the only thing that gives me reason to believe that sums of money were exchanged was the way it dropped on people at E3. SE could've just released that information at their conference, or booth for that matters...or even during interviews.

The thing about not developing for PS3 is definately not true, since Japana bla bla, you've heard it all before(Sony owns japan)

Edit: Cheers, thanks Longarms.

I couldn't agree more. Also this rumour seems a bit stupid. There is no reason for SE to stop developing for PS3 or for Sony for that matter. They will go where the money is, and right now (whether fortunately or unfortunately) it is in multiplatform titles. I still can't figure out why people are so angry about the FF move. It makes no real difference to PS3 owners. I assume it's the same sting Nintendo fans got when FF moved to Sony.

Edit: Longarms, can you delete my double post previously by any chance?

There may have been some money extanged but i doubt it was a huge amount and most likely we will never know for sure.

that would be really dumb cause of course it will sell much much better on ps3.

besides square will not be able to turn japanese people against sony so they will just be losing.

yeah i highly doubt they would drop the PS3 all together. heaps of developers are going cross platform. with the rising costs of making games they need to maximise sales and to do this they cant remain exclusive to 1 console.
