The Japanese market needs Sony and Sony needs them to strenghten their Library and go for global domination.

The main reason for the downfall of SquareEnix was a man named Wada.
He had the idea that Final Fantasy has to appeal to CoD players and he sided with Microsoft like many others did early last Gen.All of them pretty much got punched into the face with that decision.
A comment by Wada over The Last Remnant,one of the most wanted ports for the PS3 was something like "What should i do if these games don't sell - I can't waste money"
He simply didn't understand the fanbase for such games is on Sony Consoles and he made such decisions cause these games and others from other companies didn't do well on Xbox.

This man had to step down 2 years ago.
Since then a lot started to change again and Sony started to dominate the console market at the same time.
Like a miracle Japanese Games are coming back to Home Consoles in MASSES and SquareEnix feels like they are again nearing their best.

A fun fact
Wada was one of those who said FF7 Remake will never happen and one of the dudes who are responsible for FF13-2 and FF13-3 cause he thought they will do good.
Wada had a contract for 2 more years after he stepped down 2 years ago
This contract ended at the 16th of June 2015....The day the Final Fantasy 7 Remake got officially announced.
A game made by his internal archfiend Tetsuya Nomura

If someone wants to know more about what Wada did to SquareEnix over time have a read
The only good thing he kinda did was bringing the west closer to the east.

Very interesting facts

The whole Gaming Industry is only winning if Sony or rather Playstation is on Top
They are a worldwide brand targeting every person on the world and offering every kind of genre for all kinds of people and obviously give that way every developer of every genre a stage to perform.
