Nintendo banned Square from their offices for 10 years after FFVII went to PlayStation. EDIT: japanese business model is akin to Yakuza

After what Nintendo did to Sony with the CD-drive deal, I don't think they have a moral high ground here.
Besides, FF7 would not have been possible on a cartridge, so it is what it is regardless. It's all connected in a funny way.
Decisions were made and they had consequences.
