Mistwalker, a pretty new company that was formed by former Square people, has appearently signed a deal to make games exclusivly for M$' next gen console...

http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/02/24/news_6119158.html

This could increase the market share for them in Japan.
We'll see I guess.

if anything it should get some decent japanese RPG's on the xbox, rather than all the western style ones that seem to appear on xbox.

I didn't know that Square was in the red after Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. I learned something today. Hooray.

Well, I'm not an Xbox (or Microsoft) fan, but if Sakaguchi's making games for the Xbox 2, that already gets me interested in buying it. Reading his synopses for the two upcoming games in this interview seem to show that he has some fresh ideas. Maybe Microsoft will learn from their mistakes and provide a better variety of third-party content (especially RPGs).

That would help a lot considering right now they don't have much of anything that appeals to anyone but Americans.

xbox sort of appeals in UK, but its not as "cool" as ps2, which is purely down to the fact its a playstation, because they more or less have the same games as each other (in the top 20 charts anyway)
