Yeah...motive is to get PSP awareness back in the West. Because PSP sales are just bad over here.

Well, they own 9% of SE but they can't do anything...I guess it's better than to let it go. I think they get a (VERY SMALL) portion of SE revenue though. But 9% isn't enough to influence games.

Yeah, their just the third highest stockholder in the company. Complete small frys.

I've had this argument before...


Why does 3rd highest or whatever matter? What if someone was the 3rd highest in another company but owned only 0.03% of them for example?

That number shouldn't matter at all...percents should. And they don't have a big enough percent to influence anything, otherwise so many series wouldn't have jump to other systems.

Because size is relative. 9% is a very large part of SE's revenue due to the fact that they the 3rd highest out of all stockholders. I'm not saying they choose where the games go, but don't undermine it.

They have zero power.

The 1st, 2nd, and 4th biggest stockholders are all really one guy.  The former Enix boss.

Also they don't have 9%.  They had less then that after the merger.  Plus SE just took over Eidos.

I gotta think there was stock involved in that deal.

Where'd I say they have power? I'm saying that they make a lot more than a "VERY SMALL" portion.

I'd still disagree really.

Afterall profits go back into the buisness they aren't paid out in dividends.

Only way Sony profits off it is if they sell the stock.  Which isn't likely to happen unless the stock hits hard times, or the company hits hard times.
