PS3 wasn't better to anyone....

Yah, bad joke, I know, sorry....

Sony WAS better to Square than Nintendo was, but you've got to consider two things. First, the climate of gaming has changed. Nintendo now allows all sorts of potty mouth and gore in games. They didn't during.... say.... 1994 (a decade ago, you'll notice) because they didn't want to wind up in legal trouble or just get a bad reputation as a filth peddler. Another thing is that when Nintendo decided to make the N64, they shot themselves in the foot and made the machine cartridge based. This is really what caused Square to jump consoles more than anything. The gamecube is specs-wise a better system than the PS2, but the PS2 is more popular since everyone's still got a bad taste in their mouth from the N64. And there's this ridiculous notion that a small percentage of gamers have that Nintendo makes games for kids while games on PS2 are more mature.

Probably what's on Squenix's mind is "which system looks like it's gonna do better?" If Nintendo manages to save their public image and scrap its way back to the top, Squenix may go with them, but it's likely that people will be more interested in the PS3.
