No. this is not like what Nintendo did. Thay were on another level of retardation entirely. In order to get a game for one of Nintendo's platforms approved, you had to sign an agreement that basically said you could only make games for Nintento platforms and if you didn't follow this, Nintendo would refuse to allow your games to be published. Since we don't know anything about what Sony is actually telling dev to do (though most of you are jumping to conslusions), I think it is ridculous to debate the matter. I can guarentee you though, that Sony is not anywhere close to being as retarded as Nintendo was.

dont be so nice to nintendo. they limited the amount of games allowed per year per company to five, they controlled the cartidges, they could impose any censorship if a game wanted to be released, they sold the cartridges in minimum packages, they sold the cartridges at premiums, they ignored all third parties other than they got to release games.
other than nintendo having so many consoles, third parties were dieing to leave nintendo. that's the reason why sony was able to be so successful with the ps1: third parties. they were asking for a savior and that was sony at the time.
