Microsoft signs Japanese games wizard for Xbox2

Beating up Sony, part 542

By INQUIRER staff: Friday 25 February 2005, 10:29
SOFTWARE GIANT Microsoft has hired Final Fantasy author, Hironobu Sakaguchi, to make two games exclusively for its next generation Xbox console.

The Wall St Journal said that the games would likely appear soon after the Xbox 2 is launched, but would be aimed at the worldwide rather than the local Japanese market.

The Xbox2 will likely be launched later on this year.

The reasons for signing Sakaguchi are pretty clear. Microsoft wants to woo the entire Japanese console/games development market and cut off its major competitor Sony at the gulch. µ

Goes to show, money can buy everything.

two games won't put the xbox on top, they will get a lil more sale onless the games become a big success and become a big franchise. sony shouldn't really be threatened.

I agree about the competiton. It's not about MS being nasty, Sony grabbed an early hold on the market because of a lot of lock down deals that pinched Nintendo out. Not that Nintendo didn't help scare away developers themselves with theih high priced carts. Xbox did horribly in Asia, and you can't blame MS for trying to get a bigger piece of the market. Thought I doubt Sony will be taken off their throne anytime soon. Quote camrE on this, The only company that can destroy Sony, is Sony.

The thing is will Sony even be at the top with the PS3? How many console makers you know continued being top dog after their second or third console? Sega didn't and neither did Nintendo. It remains to be seen if Sony can still keep the public intrested with their third machine or suffer the fate that the others had before it by falling to the wayside by the next
newcomer.
