@S.T.A.G.E: M$ saw an investment in consoles when Ken Kutaragi said he was going to destroy M$. And the size of the investment was defined by PSX:s success.
You know, gaming world revolves around software, not hardware. Every platform competes the other for games, no matter how you look at it. The PC world differentiates itself from consoles by having other uses than just games. If it would be completely different, all the games would be on either PC or console and the funny thing would be, that they wouldn't effect on each others sales.
Tell me, what would happen if PC:s couldn't be used for gaming? Would that have effect on console sales? Or would it have effect on game sales on consoles? And give a good reason why Sony and Nintendo doesn't release their big hitters on PC? If the PC would be completely different market, they would only be making more money with increased game sales since consoles and games on consoles would be sold just as much as now when they are exclusives.
Maybe Square wanted to make more money with FF7. I don't see any other reason. I don't get your point about FF7, since it clearly shows that the market is the same. Look at companies yearly financials, do they include PC into them?

Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.
