Square Enix: "one-console market is over"

Eurogamer writes:"Square Enix US boss John Yamamoto has declared the time of the platform exclusives is over."

"Not so long ago the PS2 dominated the market so if we developed an exclusive game for PS2 then we could enjoy a very good profit. But that time is already over," Yamamoto told GamesIndustry.biz.

"To maximise and spread our games to as many users as possible I think we have to go to multiformat - the Xbox 360, PS3 and also the PC as well."
