Just no.
Sony bought Square shares in the late 90s early 2000s. They helped them staying afloat during the Spirit Within debacle. Which they co-funded with Square.
Sony and Square have had a good relationship since FFVII, that has been very similar to Nintendo’s during the 90.
And Nintendo didn’t give them Mario. They went to Square because they had the RPG expertise. But Miyamoto managed both the teams at Nintendo and Squaresoft as they worked together on that game.
There is a lot of misinformation in this thread. As per usual when Nintendo isn’t portrayed as being faultless.
