Sometimes I think Square-Enix bases the stories of betrayal in their RPGs on their business dealings haha.
Lesson here: Develop internal talent to produce high quality exclusives that sell gangbusters.
Sony has more internal talent than Microsoft does, but the drop from PS2 to PS3 is going to be ~130m to ~50m-75m. Thats really sharp.
Now look at Microsoft - imagine if they sold a similar number of consoles with 3rd party exclusives but then lost them all. With even less reliable franchises than Sony I think their fall would be even more precipitous.
