It became available on the market and multiple companies were looking to buy including Nintendo, Yamauchi didn't want to pay the asking price, and Microsoft just so happen make the highest bid. You can't say Nintendo broke 2nd party relations because it was 2nd parties who were looking for greener pastures. 2nd Parties come and go, SK were on other platforms before Gamecube. Their relationships aren't so different from Platinum Games, PG signed contracts w/Ninty but are also free to sign contracts with others co. such as Microsoft. |
Only some stakes? They owned 49% of the stake.
