Forums - Gaming Discussion - NIS Apologizes for Seemingly Negative Comments Towards PS4

The thing is that I actually find the criticism towards Sony as justified. Over the past few years, I've noticed that Sony hasn't done much to help niche games. Persona 5, for example, hardly got any mention during their press conferences. Gravity Rush 2, which is a 1st party game for crying out loud, had very little marketing and promotion.

But both games sold well. And maybe they’re marketed more in the JP market where they’ll sell. They’re not gonna move those games in NA. 

Persona 5 certainly did well. Not so much with Gravity Rush 2. I'm not asking Sony to put in large marketing budgets for these games, but at least do more than what they did for these two games.

They shouldn't bite the hand that's fed them for so long. Apology accepted, but they shouldn't let this happen again.

Apology accepted? who are you?



 

 

Man people will apologize for dang near anything these days lol

This is a non-issue... Really, this apology is just attracting attention to something that had largely gone unnoticed.

I imagine he was probably pushed into apologizing so as to not damage relationships, but keeping said apology private may have been the better call.

Also while Britain has questionable taste levels in games, its good to hear the French have great ones (jrpgs) apparently :)

Seema overly harsh, honestly, but I'm assuming he has a history.

Did Gravity Rush 2 get some exposure via PSN of some kind?

Not exactly sure. Famitsu did show that Gravity Rush 2's digital rate in Japan was actually pretty high (almost 20%).

Well hopefully it was profitable. The Gravity Rush games are games I would definitely get my hands on if I had a PS4...

They also ended up slowing down on indie support, now they have more AAA titles on board. At the start of the gen it was all about showing as much Indie support, but after 2017 it's basically become a thing to not focus on.
