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.

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.

I noticed that, too. My guess is that at the beginning of the gen, Sony saw catering to indies as a big PR opportunity when Microsoft was still seen as the 'bad guy' (MS used to not allow self-publishing, for instance). However, Microsoft has already loosened up its policies on indie devs so Sony no longer sees catering to indies as a worthwhile investment.

 The truth of the matter is all companies are greedy as fuck.

This is true, and I wish more people would realize it. The only difference between huge companies is how they go about said greed. Some companies view being good to the consumer is a way to achieve that wealth. Others think the best way is outright lies and the whole "let's get their money first, then if they find out we lied to them, who the fuck cares?" mindset. 

But in the end, yes, it's all about the money.

From the sound of things, the "feeding" has been on a decline.

Pffft. That was a weak apology by Japanese standards.

Dont get why he would publicly come out and say something along the lines of Sony not being friendly to pubs his size.
So you come out paint that picture, so now pubs your size that reads this think “hmm, maybe i should just deal with nintendo only”.
See when you a big mouth its bad for business for everyone you partner with.

Should have kept some of thoes comments to himself. Not only should he say sorry but also correct the image of Sony he just created in this interview. I mean sony, nin, and ms are only out there looking for the best deals for their platforms. If this is not the case then i would like to know what nin said to him that convinced him to make the deal with nin and he could not go back to sony for a counter offer, you know like how we do in business?

Sony's reign of terror over Japanese developers will soon be over. The Dark Ages are over, time to switch on the light again.

Eh. Probably not. Nintendo has a habit of just not staying in favor with anyone.

Either way, Sony's consoles have been unpopular in Japan since the PS3. It's good news for everyone that Japanese developers can focus on a popular console again. Too many developers were wasting their resources on something like the Vita.
