Square-Enix may not be done with acquisitions

“The combination of Eidos and Square Enix gives us a good platform from which to expand. In that process, we might decide to acquire another company. In the last five to 10 years, the Japanese games industry has become a closed environment, with no new people coming in, no new ideas, almost xenophobic. It is now slightly behind western counterparts. The lag with the US is very clear. The US games industry was not good in the past but it has now attracted people from the computer industry and from Hollywood, which has led to strong growth.” - Square Enix president Yoichi Wada

Sounds like Mr. Wada has plans for global domination. I’m sure a lineup of EIDOS titles will help them grab a bigger foothold in the worldwide scheme of things. It’s going to be interesting to see who else Square-Enix looks into snatching up. Are they going to throw their hat into the Midway ring?
