Role-playing game powerhouse Square Enix have put up a teaser site for an upcoming online merchandise store. Though we're not expecting software titles to be sold, figurines from Dragon Quest, Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy are likely (we saw a huge display of fine-crafted figures from those series at Tokyo Game Show last year) and probably clothing with various logos.
Our prediction for best-sellers? Anything with a Slime character on it: key chains, styluses, plush dolls, etc. Our prediction for worst-sellers? Anything sold with actual slime on it. Ew. No date has been given for the grand opening of the store.

I'm sure this will make up for lackluster PS3 sales.

I just love the people that post comments like "I don't give a shit". As if the readers of Joystiq care that you provide such constructive comments as "I don't give a shit". Why even bother to post? So we can all see how 'cool' and anti-establishment you are?

"Powerhouse Square Enix have" - decide whether you're using singular or plural for the collective noun and stick with it.

Damn Joystiq, you guys are so slow with your news. I knew about this days ago.

I knew about this weeks ago.
Anyway, if I had the money, I'd really be looking forward to this. The Japanese site has some really nice stuff.
