Atlus and Level 5 have been drinking SE's milkshake for a while now anyways. But since gaming is a popularity contest these days, I guess getting SE on your platform is the more attractive prospect.
| That's because Atlus is still a niche company and we are not completely sure how popular Level 5 are though they do seem to be famous in Japan from what I can tell. Square Enix on the other hand, are very well known, even to more mainstream gamers

Yeah, basically
And from a business standpoint this is smart.
But as a gamer I can't help but see it as an insincere grab for popularity points by MS (if they indeed politicked to have SE make games for their platform). Unless they are going to make a serious effort in coaxing SquareEnix to put their full effort and heart into games on the Box, I don't see this as very meaningful.
