apple mustve made them a sick offer... seems like they really want in on the games market..

Judging by how things go in the real world, I find it more likely that they made it an exclusive to convince Apple to give them those sweet, sweet App Store featues. Or maybe they just don't want to deal with the fragmented Android tablet market. Either way it has more to do with the fact that Square Enix cannot longer afford to ignore tablets so they are adapting a new strategy. Taken from their results briefing in May (http://www.hd.square...130527_01en.pdf):

While it may not need to be said, smart phones and tablets

have evolved at a striking pace, and as devices upon which to

play games, their specs are more than sufficient.

On the other hand, game consoles have become smart

devices themselves, and whether they ultimately converge or

diverge is yet to be seen, but as publishers of content, smart

phones and tablets are not devices that we can ignore (...)

On the basis of the progress of recent devices, moving

forward we are thinking to push into publishing games on

smart phones and tablets, which we had hitherto only

published on game consoles, in particular our strong‐point of

single‐player, story‐driven games, etc. I have already given

these instructions to our development teams, and we are moving ahead with this effort.

Gah, was totally hoping this was a next-gen sequel announcement. :gonk:

Looks like I'm going to have to placate myself with some epic Deus Ex + Human Revolution fan music:

But to cheer us up, the Directors Cut of Deus Ex 3 is no longer WiiU exclusive, and is coming for all systems. What a shocker.
