No I know that, but you have to remember, that's business.
In said business, you don't and aren't really meant to take personal offence to a disagreement or a dissolving of a partnership, but Sony did, and I've seen it in Japanese culture that when one is offended, they tend to take action, usually in an aggressive or passive aggressive manner, even if it is over fee disputes (which you should really solve in court, not create an entirely new brand, designed entirely to utterly demolish your previous partner).
Sony coming in with that price announcement that was made infamous, was definitely stemming from a passive aggressive nature, not "hey, we're here to do our own thing", it was more like "fuck that Nintendo, fuck anyone else who gets in my way, I'm going to crush everyone, here's my price drop". Like it was funny, it made people clap and cheer, but I definitely saw the aggression there.
