It's Sony's fault Nintendo isn't competitive with 3rd parties? Is this a joke?

Nintendo needs to take some responsibility and do more than just worry about promoting themselves and no one else if they want to remain viable as a console producer.


Nintendo was just minding it's own business after they gave the middle finger to Sony... then BAM, the PlayStation comes out. The rest is history.

This is ludicrus. Are they serious? Nintendo could of matched the hardware but they chose not to. Before wii, gc wasmore powerful than ps2. Its not sonys fault. They made alot of fans with weaker ssystemsin ps1 and 2.


Yet it sold poorly. Yet people wonder what gave Nintendo the idea to use less powerful hardware, because it always worked for Sony.

I'm not sure if PS1 was less powerful than N64. What I do know is that it played a media format with 8000% more capacity.

Regarding PS2, I do know it was less powerful than Game Cube...but how much different? I never saw on Game Cube a game with the graphics of GT4.

I guess it works for Sony because when they do it there are no huge differences in hardware (like they were for example between Wii and PS3) and Sony makes it up on software or media format.

Believe me, power will always be a driver in videogaming.

N64 was way more powerful than PS1 ans so Gamecube to PS2. So no, power is not a driver in videogaming. Nintendo just don't know how to work with 3rd parties.

Maybe this is why Sony had heavy losses over the years? Well it's good to know Sony still has money to help 3rd Parties out like that.

Do fanboys get paid to be analyst?? If so, we have a lot of unpaid professionals here.

He should focus on internal causes they can change, not blame external causes or competitor for bbeing too good or just better (unless it's unfair pratice in which case you prosecute).

What about bad relationship with devs, incompatible hw, lack of good enviroment, lack of investiment, bussiness strategy, etc??

We fan may complain Sony destroyed sega, ms ruined gaming or stole exclusives, etc... Companies need to solve their shit and compete not complain.

To think that Shuhei Yoshida went out on a limb to promote the Wii U! 0__0

Who the heck is this analyst? The japanese version of Michael Pachter, that is backing up Nintendo instead of Microsoft and Sony?

I'll pass...

Sony needs to help Nintendo get third parties then join them in the cuddle puddle!!!!

So how does Microsoft get the third party games?

I don`t know if this is true, but when Nintendo barely shows footage of Watch Dogs, AC 4, SC during their E3 event; when some games only show up on one of the press conferences, you know something`s "wrong".

Not to mention the always evading Nintendo footage of a CoD title! Weird how Wii or Wii U footage always appeared really close to launch.

Sony gets blamed for everything.


Not true, blame has been spread around pretty equal.
