The article says that that actual details of the Nintendo/Square split were yet to be explained but mentions that they ran into roadblocks because of the N64's limits. It also says that you've been lying...the allegations that Sony xbribed square are totally made up.
As for the Saturn...I've explained...they had a history for releasing and then killing off consoles early(Like MS did with the XBox)...unstabble. That's why many 3rd party devs shuned Sega.
No. Microsoft bought majority control of Rare, seeing how Nintendo or any company could not afford it. With MS owner the majority it made no sense for Nintendo to hold onto a company they had no control over.
MS just goes around "Oh DMC exclusive on PS2....mine! Tekken exclusive on PS2....mine! Rare from Nintendo....mine!" Just taking other peoples exclusive. They should put that 50million into a new IP instead of cutting into someone elses exclusies/game studio.
