Square Enix Supports Sony, But Not Too Much

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday September 26, 2006 @08:36AM from the big-heads dept.

Next-Gen reports that Square Enix is throwing just the right amount of support behind Sony. In some fairly non-humble statements, Square Enix senior VP Michihiro Sasaki talked about their positioning in the next generation market. "'We don't want the PlayStation 3 to be the overwhelming loser, so we want to support them,' he said. 'But we don't want them to be the overwhelming winner either, so we can't support them too much.' Sasaki's comments (which were pulled out of context and dropped into the WSJ article) don't exactly take the humble approach regarding Square Enix's heavy influence on the popularity of the PlayStation brand. The PS2-exclusive FFXII sold over 1.7 million units for a premium $80 equivalent price tag in the first four days after its Japan launch."

Oh joy! Some random fanboy is repeating bullshit for the millionth time on the net!

Kaz Hirai responded to a question about prices for PS3 games and that he expected them to be 60 dollars or so but they don't control what each individual publisher will charge for every single game and that it was possible some publisher might charge more than 60.

But, you knew that, didn't you you little faggot?
