>In hindsight, leaving Nintendo for MS is one of the worst business moves I've ever seen from a developer
Not as bad as holding 49% of a company for 4 years only to lose the opportunity to buy them out at the 11th hour because you were too torpid and unsure about the future. In fact Nintendo was lucky they even put a clause to have them first opportunity to counter bid (which they took because they were actually going to buy Rare).
It was the best fucking thing they ever did because they got milions more than Nintendo would have ever given them and Microsoft made them do absolutely nothing. Imagine getting millions for nothing, they'd be stupid not to. You know what Nintendo would have done with them? Doomed them to the same fate that fell Retro.
