Is this possible. And, does this mean that similar deals (Halo, Matrix) would also be illegal? Can anyone clarify this? :confused:
Well, it would kinda break the American laws only because it diallows competition in the market place. If Sony could do that, then they woud definitely crush Xbox and Gamecube and maybe even drive them out of business. Of course the real question is, do these laws apply over seas seeing that Sony is Japanese. I’m not sure if Rockstar is American or Europe, but I think the latter.
What makes you think Sony would "definately crush Xbox and GameCube" if they could do that? If they could, so could Nintendo and Microsoft. It’d just depend on who could throw more money around, and that, as we all know, would pretty obviously be Microsoft.
It’s amazing how Sony will shatter the competition. Paying companies to hold off releasing games for other systems.
Unless Rockstar is owned by Sony or something, they shouldn’t really be allowed to do that…. o_O

So should they be allowed to restrict Squaresoft from releasing FF games for other systems? Cuase they partially own them too.
And the only reason I said Sony would crush everyone, Tifas knight, is b/c thats the system that most people have right now.So money is an issue and I think a company would go with the system that wouold sell the most for them, and that would be PS2. Billy would have to pay said game company the money they would lose from not doing business with Sony. That pay out would be alot more than Sony would have to pay said company because the company knows that they would not seel that much on the Xbox. You get what I’m trying to say?
Anyways, Microsft has alot of money but so does Sony, and from what I hear, Nintendo has more money than Sony! 😮
Nintendo tightly regulates production so games that come will have a longer shelf life, which means that as long as there are Nintendo fans, there will b Nintendo. Thats why Nintendo has been going strong for 17+ years.
