Nintendo new system is coming out 2012 the only rumor is Xbox but am sure they have a 2013 or 2014 release then come PS4 around the same time. So yes there are fact not rumor for the nintendo and even going to be display at E3 this year.

For everyone "Seem like it got to the point you can't make a topic without people coming up with the most negative post" if you got noting good to say about the topic at hand for the future of ffxiv then don't even post on it.

and please stay in topic.

even if the new nintendo comes out in 012, it would take SE 2 years(If we go by what it would take FFXI to be ported to PS3) now considering is a new system it could take longer, and we all know how good SE is with its coding.... so lets say that by 2014 they do port it to the new console, and the new xbox comes out, another 2 years to port, then the ps3 comes out, another 2 years, not taking into account compatibility and downtime while porting, i think that by 2016-2018 this game will not be around, seriously this game might not even make it past 012 if the upcoming updates fail to bring any new faces around :)

If the new xbox still uses xbox live, you won't see FFXIV on it. The reason 14 couldn't be on the 360 is because M$ is too money grubby to allow it on XBL.

Actually I think this is a good idea... in that it also enforces making better connections to the Japanese servers or making servers state-side (specifically in the East), as well as in Europe. Then again- they could have added more modularity to Echoes of Time, taken out the story-line and turned it into a puzzle/RPG/Action/Adventure MMO, and I would play it until my graphics card melted... Or rather didn't because it wasn't so bogged down with excess graphical crapola :D

Also- 9/10 of the time, Kotaku is full of crap, especially when it comes to details. Sure they can tell us when Nintendo's next Pokemon game is framed to come out- but other than that, their details are usually scarce and more dishonest speculation (speculation is good, but not when spinned as likely being true just to make an article)

damn.... console never die even they're not better than PC

They have a tendency to be more convenient.

FFXIV will never be on the 360 or on any system that works with Xbox Live. That's simply because Microsoft has completely closed their policies to companies operating games with an external billing (IE: any MMORPG for which the monthly goes to the developer and not to microsoft themselves) and to any cross platform game.

The closed nature of the Xbox Live policies simply prevents any MMO like FFXIV (or any other external network feature, like the Steam features in portal 2 for instance) to appear on that console.

No MMO will truely go to 360 anymore
Champions was also slated for 360 release and canceled it due to 360s closed server policy and wanting a ton of money
there were a few others too which were supposed to have it yet got canceled for the same reason

11 was literaly the only exception ever to this rule

and that was only to try and gain support from Japanese Developers too.

It took SE like 5 billion years to get Crystal tools ready for the 3 existing consoles, so unless the new Nintendo is related to the PS3, PC, or XBOX360, i doubt SE will bother making games for it.

FFXI is on the 360.
