Square Enix’s Move To The 360: A Terrible Mistake?

A nice debate on whether Square Enix’s move to the 360 was a positive or negative move. Personally, I think it was a great move, as it will obviously help sell more of their big titles, and will expand their audience. What did these guys have to say?

Warren Marshell (positive):

For the casual gamer it seems that at the moment (if they are even aware) it would be a stirring of press releases and corporate mumblings, but take a step back for a moment and take a look on how this will impact the consumer themselves. Whether you know Square Enix by title or not, if you have played a few RPG’s chances are you have played one of their games.

Sutton Dagger (negative):

Last Remnant is currently in my Xbox and I’m contemplating how the mighty have fallen (stay tuned for the full Last Remnant review coming soon…). There is (in my mind) a prominent reason for this catastrophic change, a focus on the Xbox 360 platform which has resulted in a complete change of mindset, both in the ways games are produced and developed.
