Does Square Enix have any interest in Ouya, Amazon Kindle and/or Windows Phone?
Could happen for the Amazon Kindle and Windows Phone, but I doubt it for the Ouya. If they don't even bring them to consoles with bigger install base than the Ouya , as in every console available, or to consoles where they actually have a fanbase, I doubt they would waste any money on bringing it to the Ouya, they would prefer to bring them to WiiU and Vita, before they bring it to the Ouya, which seems to have gone dead or something. Since nothing have been heard of it as of late.

A FF6 3DS Remake?
They should, but first remake V, then move to VI. They could also do a collection or something with the remakes of FFI to FFVI, either for 3DS or WiiU. They could do the collection for the 27th anniversary of the series, or as year early thing for the 25th anniversary of FFIII, or simply as a way to remember the roots of the Final Fantasy series.

Since Square has finished the XIII saga....
It could be possible, but I see them revisiting and messing up the X story first, and then head over to Final Fantasy VII. Though the plot may feel quite similar to Crisis Core, if Genesis is back. Since he will probably be trying to recreate "Loveless", once again, specially since in that secret ending in Dirge of Cerberus, he says: "is not yet time for slumber" Which means the recreation of Loveless, should still be in the 4th Act, letting a space for Genesis to finish the 5th Act. Which also fits with what the Crisis Core Ultimania says, that he is back to "protect the planet", fitting the 4th and the whole 5th act of Loveless. Act V

3DS games suggestion
Kid Icarus Uprising, would be a good choice. It has quite good gameplay, a great story and characters, and can bring quite some laughs, in every chapter.

GameStop Employee Trolls Costumers
I would had love to be at the store to see how many people got excited to get it, and when they saw that it was a prank, and the game is still exclusive on WiiU, and then look at their shock face and then they going: "I didn't wanted it anyway"

What Square Enix should do with the FINAL FANTASY series
They should give it a rest, atleast till they find someone to replace Toriyama, Nomura can't take the charge of two of Square Enix's biggest franchises by himself, or the either give Final Fantasy a rest or they give it to Kingdom Hearts, one of the two most take a rest, specially Finaly Fantasy. The series have been a cash cow for too long, they should give the series some years of rest, no spin-off, no main title, no anything, just let it rest for some years. But if they continue milking it, they should atleast release the small remakes they have been throwing for iOS, in the 3DS, WiiU or PS3, where they actually have a fanbase and could attract more audience to the games.

App game sales beat handheld gaming revenues for 1st time
I wouldn't call that growing, 1,2,3 and 8 are mere fads that are bound to die, and 9 is of those games you play once and then forget about it, 4 sold thanks to Despicable Me 2 and how everyone adore the freaking Minions. There's really no growth, aside from fads and hype/fanatism buying. How is it good? Companies will believe their actually is a market in smartphones and Tablets and drive themselves to death, the only big name in that list is EA, and they still presented losses, even when they could get a game in the top 10 app game sold, imagine how bad it must be going for other companies, like Square Enix, which are driving themselves the graveyard, by ignoring their fans and throwing literally everything on smarthphones and tablets.

App game sales beat handheld gaming revenues for 1st time
And? The Vita is deader than the WiiU, 40 million 3DS users cannot sustain the market by themselves, the numbers are actually fine seeing how the only revenue for handheld gaming is coming from around 40 million users, so this is not really a gigantic victory for app game sales, at best it could receive a hooray for beating a mere 40 something milllion users. If the Vita would be doing better, and Candy Crush would begun to stop in its track, or someone would have standed up to King and them trademarking "Candy" and "Saga", earlier, then those results would be way different.

The Connection Between Kingdom Hearts 3 and x[chi]
Isn't X supposed to be related to the Keyblade War? Maybe that prophecy is actually describing, the biggest part of the Keyblade War. Though I could be missing something since I haven't been in check with the story of X. The Keyblade War, lead to the defeat and destruction of the "light"(Kingdom Hearts?) and so the worlds became envelop in eternal darkness, but the heart of children brought light back, and that light is maintain by the 7 Seven Princesses and Guardians, if it weren't for them the worlds would be cover by eternal Darkness(Heartless). What if the power they are using is what gave a pure heart, to those that would become princesses, we have seen Alice, but was she confirmed to have a pure heart or are we going by what we know in the past? I wonder if their master or the sixth, is somehow related to Xehanort. A ancestor, maybe? A past life? Forthbringer of the big event in the Keyblade War?

China's 13 year ban of videogame consoles is temporarily lifted, and Nintendo's stock value sees the biggest jump in 3 years.
Well those were only examples of what the government may do, since nothing is clear, but if they do decide to only let Nintendo consoles in, then I wouldn't call that exactly cheating, since it isn't Nintendo the one doing it, instead it is the Chinese government. Which pretty much is, "You want to be here, then you will play by our rules, if not, then no sells for you", so it isn't exactly cheating, unless there is some money included to get the approval.

China's 13 year ban of videogame consoles is temporarily lifted, and Nintendo's stock value sees the biggest jump in 3 years.
Yesterday, one of the biggest changers, for videogame sales occur. The Chinese government, decided to lift the 13 year old of videogame console, though till now this lifting, is just for a certain amount of time, since the Chinese government, will be going over this ban, to decide if it is kept, or ditch completely. But, in the meanwile, if any of the big 3 wants to ship and sell console in the Chinese market, they first need to get the approval of the government. This haven't stopped the stock value of Nintendo and Sony from rising, in the past 24 hours. While Sony's stock value have simply gone up a mere 1.39%, Nintendo's stock value have meet the highest jump in 3 years, with it rising 10.76%. This have made Nintendo, valued as a bigger company than Sony. http://www.polygon.com/2014/1/8/5287868/nintendos-stock-price-jumps-china-console-ban-suspension http://nintendoeverything.com/nintendo-currently-valued-as-a-bigger-company-than-sony/ The Chinese market will be one, that will have a big part in the results from consoles, specially since the Chinese government may let some to be sell in their market, while others are denied, like Sony or Microsoft being denied to sell their consoles, because of their highly mature and violent games.

Cosplaying as Noel Kreiss
This seller from Ebay, does some nice cosplay costumes, though they are a bit pricy and may take a bit of time(around a week) to get to you, since they ar e handmade and shipped from all way over from China. This Noel cosplay costs around 99.99, takes 7-14 days to be done and arrive, and is made to your specifications, though it doesn't come with the shoes, nor a wig. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Final-Fantasy-XIII-2-Noel-Kreiss-Cosplay-Costume-/261093444574?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cca61cbde

New Nintendo IP
I imagine it will be something great, since it is being made by Miyamoto, himself. I imagine it possibly will be a FPS, since Miyamoto have always been interested in that genre, and he says it will have alot of action, plus Nintendo really needs a FPS, and who better to make it, than the Father of Modern Videogaming, himself.

If anybody thinks that Nintendo should stop production of the Wii U needs to put down the fanboy juice
Yes, but the case is that even if they are doing a smart move, they are still missing something, they are treating their people as 2nd tier consumers, which will hurt their sells, the same way that the Xbox releasing first in places other than America, will hurt it sells. But anyway, we can't really count on the PS4 launch to be magnificent in Japan. The PS3, didn't even got to 100,000 on its launch. the PS4, having a more western approach, than compared to the PS3 released, should sell about the same, maybe a bit more, but we cannot expect something big of the launch, the only reason Sony has Japan on the palm of their hands, is because of 3rd parties, if the N64 incident had never happened, they would had never have such a strong grip in Japan, since 3rd parties would still be creating games for Nintendo Consoles, so Nintendo would had been the one with the JRPGs, big Dynasty Warriors titles, more Monster Hunter, etc, while Sony would probably be today in the position that Nintendo is, or even worse since their focus is western gamers, receiving badly done ports, being ignored, etc. Them not releasing in Japan, first, will only hurt them, be it on release or in the long run. They have treated their homeland as 2nd tier consumers, they are releasing with mainly western titles and "hardcore", the only Japanese oriented titles, being mainly ports. the "casuals" seems to have a stronger hold in Japan than the "hardcore" gamers, and the console market has shrinked in Japan. The destiny of the launch and life of the PS4 in Japan, is in a gigantic limbo.

If anybody thinks that Nintendo should stop production of the Wii U needs to put down the fanboy juice
It is true their relationship have fixed a bit since then, but it can still be a problem. This "commercial" will also not help one bit, specially since this is more showing, how Sony favored other nations, instead of their homeland. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dShrgFjS-P0 It should be a better race, where they will be head to head, every week, if they can have good exclusives, some of the biggest PS exclusives, have begun to go bi-platform or have died, with KH3 and the FF games, also going to the Xbox line, so that should settle things a bit, we also have the "death" of Crash and Spyro, Naughty Dog, killing and creating a new IP every generation, the slow downfall of GT, GTA have also become more equal for Xbox and PS, plus no longer haver backwards compability. Many of Sony's main assets have dissapeared or have gone in a more equal bi-platform manner, so all of this things that made the 6th gen, a supreme victory for Sony, are pretty much gone now, so the competition should be more equal, even if all the games still do not go multi-platform.

Japan's First PS4 Commercial
Is that even a commercial?I have the weird feeling, that will kinda hurt the console, instead of helping it...

If anybody thinks that Nintendo should stop production of the Wii U needs to put down the fanboy juice
Not only is the population a factor, but also the pride of the Japanese people. Sony decided to release the PS4 in America, before Japan, the nation which Japan have been enemies for quite a long time. With how proudful the Japanese are, I wouldn't be surprise if they see this as treason, and so hurts the sales of the PS4, leaving only the sells of the hardcore fans and those who are interested of some of the little exclusives the consoles will have. The console should take sometime to reach the 2 millions in Japan, if their pride was truly hurt. Though from March onwards and/or when every place gets fully stock and those who are waiting get the console, both Xbox One and PS4, will meet a slump in sells, since exclusives will be scarce, and the only thing that can help them is favoritism, fans and Japan, atleast till exclusives come, but if Sony is able to keep up a good amount of exclusives(something similar to what Nintendo does), the PS2 era should be back, and the PS4 will leave the other two far behind, followed by the WiiU, followed by the Xbox One.

help kh fans get kh 1.5 and 2.5 remix by signing this petition to bring it to the xbox platform
Counting, the Final Mixes and breaking up the ReMIXes, is not any different from what I did. The Final Mixes, are not a whole new game in the series, it is a mere update, with some extras, that would be DLC now aday, so they should not be counted, counting them would be as if you called a game new every time it got a update or you downloaded a DLC for them. Why would you break up the ReMIXes? Refering to what I did, sure they got money and all, but it is a not a new entry to the series, it doesn't continues the story, they are just something on the side, so that Nomura can keep his one year promise and keep the fans occupied, so I don't count them as entry in the series. Ummm, what? Last time I check, the Nintendo games are as important to the story as the Sony games, so they aren't spin-off. You can't really explain, big parts of the main games, without looking at the Nintendo games, specially at CoM and 3D.

Wii U sales gets a significant increase in Japan during the last two weeks
Bayonetta 2 seems to be a good beginning and example about Nintendo bringing in more mature titles as exclusive, there is also this supposed WiiU third-party exclusive coming next year, that will somehow be similar to Bayonetta 2, hopefully it is also something "mature" so that people can shut up about Nintendo being kiddy, and Nintendo brings in a bigger audience. http://mynintendonews.com/2013/12/31/unannounced-third-party-game-exclusively-hitting-wii-u-in-2014/#comment-712732 Not only because of those days, but because of the N64 and that supposed code that Yamauchi implemented so that their would only be quality games on their consoles, which brought the opposite effect and hatred from the 3rd party,which then jump onto the Sony bandwagon, when they saw nothing like that code, and that Sony were using Cd instead of cartridges. Indeed, a lot of developers just invent a excuse to not port over to Nintendo consoles, like that Mojang one that you mentioned, Square Enix's about DirectX11 and KH3, when we already know that the WiiU can use DIrectX11 features, thanks to the creators of Candle, the indie developers Tiki Studios, it is shoulf be embarrassing, for Square Enix, that a indie developer takes down all of their lies, with only one interview and game. Well not exactly proudful,Nintendo can't just go throwing money at any 3rd party developer, to receive a game, they are not like the other two, that have more businesses to suffice, and not go bankrupt, though Sony is going down that route, after throwing so much money to 3rd parties during the PS3's lifetime. Nintendo just can't go throwing money around, but for things like KH3, it is something they should had done, since they should know how beloved that series is on their platforms, Square Enix should also know that, they pretty much left in dissapointed half of their fanbase, not only because of KH3, but because of the collections. They could atleast brought the collections over, with some extras, in compensation for not bringing over KH3, but no, they just ignore part of their fanbase, with some dumb and lame excuses. But anyway, SE should meet its demise, if it continues going the path by which it walks. Well they say, that they don't like throwing money around, since then a vicious cycle begins, but that they instead try to make friendships/relationships, with the 3rd parties.

Wii U sales gets a significant increase in Japan during the last two weeks
That's true, they just stay with one audience, unlike the other 2, atleast now they are trying to reach a farther audience, which seemed to have worked, since Final Fantasy XIII, had quite some good sales on Xbox 360, enough to make Square-Enix decide to make their games bi-platform, lets hope they learn and do more similar things, and so everybody will be should be happy, and not only will everything run nicely, but the console wars may even come to a end, well that is if Nintendo, also enters and begin fixing the broken relationships with 3rd party developers.

Wii U sales gets a significant increase in Japan during the last two weeks
Atleast, I think that the reason that Xbox doesn't win over the Japan market, is because of the origin behind the console, America. The Japanese are very proud people, it is very doubtful, they would prefer a console from a country that has beaten them in war and isn't from their homeland. It is the opposite for America, the Xbox series of consoles, can set off easily because of patriotism, and easily be infront of a Sony or bad-selling Nintendo console, simply because of that. This proudness of the Japanese people will surely bring a tough situation for the PS4, sure it will do greatly because of the promises of alot of JRPGs, and fans of the console, it was a very bad move from Sony to release the PS4, first in NA, and leave it till February in Japan, after all the fans buy it, it is when the tough situation begins for it, because of the proudness of the Japanese people, and what they probably see as treason.

Wii U sales gets a significant increase in Japan during the last two weeks
The WiiU sales continue rising in Japan this past 2 weeks, after the one you posted it jump to 74,903, and this past week to 109k, which brought back the so famous "Nintendo Pac-Man", if the consoles continue seeing this trend of rising 35k each week, the console would end up with around 500k(232k sold at the moment) units sold in Japan for December along, this is all in the hands that ended yesterday and the one that begins today.
