I can't feel sorry for Sony because that's exactly what they did to Sega. I mean I get your point, but from my perspective this is just karma. If this becomes the disaster scenario everyone's scared that it will. Then I feel sorry for the people who bought a PS3. Not the maker of the PS3

And I still fail to see how this makes Square disloyal to their fans :[

I'm somewhat of a Square fan. Not nearly as much as most people. But I'm not a big Sony fan. I gave up hating them though. I know it doesn't sound like I have. But I owned a PS2 and enjoyed it. Had Square moved to XBox back then, which I didn't own until it was almost dead, I wouldn't have faulted them for that either

Its a stupid move from a Japanese standpoint. Since XBox is hated in Japan. But from a business stand-point I don't see a problem. And like I said I can't see any loyalty issues here. This way they can rake up the fans they lost due to Sony's huge price tags
