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.

Yeh, sony does have loads of great dev studios, but the japan studio just does odd stuff, like Locoroco and Patapon, when they should be making some jRPGs. Sony have just relied on SE over the ages, which is why they have no jRPGs this gen, because they have not stormed the Japanese market
