I'll adress your 3 points:

1: Ermac does become a good guy, ala King Jerrod. He learns of the horrible fate of his wife and daughter, and being the benevolent man he is, offers the souls of himself and all the others withen Ermac's being in exchange for three of the heroic souls Quan Chi posesses. Out of intrigue, and partly for his own purposes, he allows this and resurrects Sindel, Kitana and Sub-Zero. Of course, Quan Chi has his own tricks up his sleeve.

2: Because Sony and MK go together like chocolate and peanut butter. MK was on Sony's consoles first, because Sony got into the console business first. There's history and tradition here, and as a PS3 owner, I'm glad we get exclusives. Microsoft has its own franchises and MK sells well enough on the 360, but I never felt like MK owed them anything.

3: I don't take every MK9 ending into effect, but Skarlet's is one that I do (partially), and Skarlet's ending SPECIFICALLY states that she goes into the shadows, awaiting Shao Kahn's return. Something a lot of people tend to overlook is the fact that she is not independent. She serves Shao Kahn, and Shao Kahn alone. She goes into hiding, and, in the course of doing so, finds her own identity, because in my mind, Shao Kahn isn't coming back. But that means she's not in this game. She can be in the next one.
