Tony Hawk's Project 8 didn't go online on PlayStation 3 because Sony didn't have their online infrastructure ready yet -- even though Resistance: Fall of Man made it online. But, the same complications may prevent Square Enix's next MMO from arriving on the platform, despite Final Fantasy XI being a popular presence on PlayStation 2, reports Pro-G.

While speaking to Final Fantasy III remake executive producer Hiromichi Tanaka:

"I'm still working on XI as it's on-going but we are also working on a next-generation MMORPG for 360 and Vista but PS3 is a possibility."

Unless getting online via PS3 is a roadblock, why wouldn't this not-yet-announced game be on Sony's platform? Hmm.

I say that sucks really. Whats so hard about getting online with the PS3? Same with the PS2 really, I've gotten my Tony Hawk 4 online with my PS3, etc. So whats so difficult? IT BETTER NOT SKIP THE PS3!
