Thanks, Jin. I'm glad you took time to read the post(or the majority). You are one of the few people who actually is aware of the underlying point. Seeing a certain situation in a different light. (Maybe the only light, who knows?)
Yeah, Sony is really smart. Despite what most people think, Sony doesn't make the dessions on Square's future or what they ultimately decide to do. As I clearly pointed out(with quotes and all), Sony knows that Square will eventually expand their development to remain profitable. Sony can't stop that, even Square can't, as it's absolutely necessary if they must remain a "software super power."
However, now such a deal is complete,
althought Square will always develop for Sony, you can't deny that it creates a dent their armor if Square games can be played on consoles besides, PS2, in the future. The fact that Sony can cash in on that, lessens the blow for them, as they'll see some kind of profit if the company, Squaresoft, is successful.
It's actually such a simple concept, that it's a bit depressing that many people still don't see it. Of course, it's just another perspective(as I stated), so people are free to believe what they want.
