FFvXIII will be a PS3 exclusive atleast until the game goes gold. Square needs to avoid offending Nomura - afterall he is doing directing/character design for FFvXIII and KH:BBS, he working on (and possibly directing) the 2 unannounced SE games, he is doing character design work for FF agito XIII, and more!

This is without considering that SONY owns 11% of SE, which while not enough to control SE dose mean that SONY has some influence (not to mention that SONY has saved Square from going bankrupt twice...)

Sony own less than 11% of SE. It was 8 something % last time but with the Taito and Eidos merger that percent is now probably lower. But I really doubt that % was doing much for them to begin with...

I don't think it'll happen. Possible, but I'm gonna say no.

I thought Square bought those companies?

Often times, even when companies are bought.  It is paid for by the issueing of stock at least in part.

 

Regardless, the real reason Sony has no imput is because a good 40-60% of SE's stock is owned by one guy.  The former boss of Enix.  Since at the time of the merger Enix was the more successful and profitable company.

Thanks for that. Didn't know that.
