Are you pathologically incapable of understanding what i just said?

Ghostbusters only came out on 360 because Sony ALLOWED it to (because they made money off it), when you own the publication rights, you may as well own the rights to the game!

Because Sony own the rights to FFVIII (at least in PAL areas but maybe more), they get to decide what console the game come out on, what shops can sell it, how much it retails for ETC!

And for some reason I do not see Sony turning round and offering up such a potential system seller to the opposition!

And if it makes you feel any better than FFVII was published by Sony in the US for the Playstation, and then was published by Eidos for PC

So I see Eidos bought the rights, fair play!

I kind of see your point now e.g. what would stop MS buying the rights, I suppose it depends on who is willing to sell, Eidos did not pose any hardware threat so Sony, so (assuming Sony held the rights) they would have no trouble selling Eidos the rights, especially because Sony profit from Square's income by having an 8% share in the company.

Still I don't see Sony letting MS in on FFVIII any time soon, do you?
