Nice results from the Pro, but I have to ask: why did SE even develop their own engine? (Agni's Philosophy, IIRC)

Probably Japanese pride. Japan can do their own thing and be better. Can't blame them too much because in the 8- and 16-bit eras of video game consoles Japanese developers were far ahead of the rest of the pack, with only few exceptions. Things didn't change much in the following two generations either.

But as most of the time, bad financials cause companies to rethink their priorities.

Perhaps you are right. Pride certainly has to do with a lot over there.

I am still of the opinion that Japanese developed games are far and away better for the most part. How many people are gonna remember Persona 5 or even possibly DQ11 fondly and play those in 10 years? How many people are gonna do the same for Destiny or another western money-chugger?
