[FromStLouis]

Forspoken being hot garbage is only going to expedite this, sad days ahead for Square.

that ps360 gen did a number on gaming

7 Gen was the generation where gaming was finally being fully accepted by the mainstream audience/general populace, as 6 gen was, in my opinion, the last generation where it catered majority to the nerds.

Also explains the shift of money from Japan to the West.

Microsoft Almost Bought Out Squaresoft in 1999

In 1999, Microsoft almost acquired the Japanese RPG giant, according to the book Game of X v.1 and 2, from Rusel Demaria (via ResetEra). The deal was almost through but fell apart at the last moment due to a misunderstanding of the price and valuation of the company.

Keep in mind, Activision went to Microsoft asking to be bought out. You don't think Square would be interested in what they could get from Microsoft? When Eidos and Crystal Dynamics were sold, if not for ABK, would they have sold to Microsoft?

We'll kill Final Fantasy and put these fools to work on Lost Odyssey 2, and you won't get it.
