They were born on Nintendo platforms, which was my point.

Yes, but Metal Gear became a household name on Playstation, which is my point. Final Fantasy is also a household name because of Playstation as well. FInal Fantasy was already popular on Nintendo but became something bigger on Playstation. Sony used to have shares in Square Enix no different than Nintendo had on Rare. Sony gave third party a platform where they could thrive without the strangehold of playing second fiddle commercially to first party. They could be just as competitive.
