I was responding to the post that suggested ST on the PSX (something
I doubt very much will happen). Sony is more of a threat to Sega than
Nintendo is. Publishing ST on the GBC will help fill Sega's coffers with
plenty of money while still keeping the second (or so) best selling Saturn
game away from Sony.

No, you're right, it's not. And remember, much to my chagrin when I
repeatedly find out, There is no REAL loyalty in the business world.
