| SaviorX said: If Nintendo ever demanded things in such a manner, they would be crucified. However, their WiiWare service is in a similar situation in terms of what Ninty expects. As for Sony, I think 3rd parties will follow along. I honestly cannot explain it, but they will put in the time for Sony but not at all for Nintendo. I think Nintendo killed the dogs of every 3rd party some time ago. If this is what Sony wants, it is what they are gonna get.............in spades. |
Part of it comes to how controlling Nintendo used to be in the 8 & 16-bit day, although Nintendo was justified in some of what they did as they were trying to rebuild the market after the 1983 crash; so it was a case of tough love needed to set right what went wrong before. When Sony came in, they based their strategy on being totally 3rd party friendly, and did things to appease them that Nintendo would never do; 3rd parties liked being coddled and jumped ship, many never looking back.
Even today, Sony's ideology is largely identical to 3rd party ideology--more powerful hardware, robust internet, focus on the hardcore--while Nintendo went off searching for a new expanded audience (i.e. those "casual gamers"); it doesn't matter how successful Nintendo has been, the rest of the industry scoffs at them because they're the black sheep.
