Yoshi-P says discussions about FFXIV on Switch and Xbox One are "Positive"

I'm not thrilled by the idea.

PS4 and 360 have similar specs, there will be no limitations excuse. However, the switch has no place here, allowing the switch is like allowing PS3 support all over again.

I don't think Microsoft would pursue FFXIV.

You have this odd misconception that consoles can only have one MMO. Xbox getting Black Desert has nothing to do with whether they work with FFXIV or not.

They don't need FFXIV when they have it. It's their AAA MMO. The consoles generally can't support a lot of MMOs, especially AAA ones. Plus, they don't have any real japanese presence, so if anything Korean MMOs are a much better fit.

But where are you getting this from? there's no magical number at which consoles can't accept new MMOs. And it's not about "needing" FFXIV, any console will want as many games as they can host, because that's how they get their money. Also just for your information, ESO has been on Xbox longer than BDO, but that didn't stop BDO from trying, TERA is also getting on PS4 and Xbox.
