The gameplay footage was pretty epic. Square soft has alot of mmo experience and definately has a great single player pedigree. Looking forward to this. I do have some reservations though.
His focus is on portability. Japanese are into games portability, but that is not a major factor in other regions. I would say exclusives and online are more important factors for me. I enjoy some handheld gaming, but I dont take my games everywhere. In my life, I use games as a time to relax, and am not glued to a device 24/7. Ps has been fulfilling the gaming needs I have, exclusive, third party, and online. But, to each their own.
I'm just not a Nintendo fan because their first party is stale, and third parties have moved on to better tech. They have made a comeback with the switch, but it's about 4 gens too late for me. I loved the SNES, but after that, it was all downhill.
This strategy is exactly how xbox was able to be a player in the scene. It's not a new strategy and anyone who has used xbox and cries about epic is a hypocrite.
