Square Enix president Yoichi Wada admits that it is difficult to repeat the success of Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts. It's getting hard to maintain a flow of new game titles," said Wada. ""We haven't come up with hit software to follow in the footsteps of 'Final Fantasy' and other major titles. So we will have to alter our strategy."

Even though Final Fantasy XII and Kingdom Hearts II were monster hits, Square still ended up short due to a weak online segment and the newly acquired Taito. To combat this, Square signed a deal with Osaka's Matsushita to provide graphics for Panasonic TVs, DVD recorders and music players. Both companies have previously worked together (see above image). Square inked other deals as well, such as providing educational products and working on Pokemon cell phone packages.
