Sony owns a great deal of Square stock, I don't think Sony would allow it.

Around 8%. I'm not sure i'd consider that a lot of it.

It used to be a great deal around... 20%. However then they merged with Enix. Which was worth more then Square. So that 20% of stock dropped to 8%.

If anything, sony support would be do to giving sony the benefit of the doubt for pushing FF7 worldwide by covering the publishing costs, and helping when their movie bombed.


8% doesn't give a lot of leverage. Sure they have some influence as a major shareholder, but decisions of where games are going is not something the shareholders decide. Shareholders can hold the board responsible when things are going wrong, a few times a year, but don't have a say in the daily business of the company.

Otherwise: why would Sony have allowed DQ9 to be on DS? It's SE's biggest Japanese franchise.
