today looking at FFVII PlayStation ad is extremely funny, just look at the entire Japanese videogame market, when they betrayed Nintendo they were pinnacle of video game industry, today after 3 generations with Sony they're globally irrelevant.

Look at Square the success of FFVII was in fact beginning of their demise, look at them today at their lineup (iOS games) and after all sales FFType0 are on pre SFC level.

The only globally relevant part of Japanese game industry are handhelds (exactly the part Nintendo always dominated) and Nintendo.

Well Square Enix's "demise" I would say started with them making Final Fantasy multi-platform. It's obvious that multi-platform development is too time consuming and hasn't increased their profits one bit. If Final Fantasy XIII had stayed PS3 exclusive, it probably would have sold better than it did. Exclusives get TONS of hype and it would have pushed PS3 sales as well. I would call that a win/win for both Square Enix and Sony. Make it happen for PS4.
