Funny how it works sometimes, huh?
MS like "OK, we do not have a userbase for JRPGs right now, but here's a shitload of money, so please? Remember, we can just outright aquire your whole company btw."
Nintendo is like "Yo, we have a super successful system, worldwide, and good software sales and a proved userbase for JRPGs! Can we get your game too? Why not? Why do you want us to pay? Look, you know we're not Microsoft, yes?"
And Sony is like "Hello." and everyone "TAKE OUR GAMES!!!!!". Okay, in all fairness, sometimes it's also "Hello. Here's money, we want it for us and us only" and everyone is like "TAKE OUT GAMES EXCLUSIVELY!!!!!!".
... I once had hopes that this might change from the PS2 times one day ...
