| Ronster316 said: It makes a lot of sense to me and many other SEGA fans who chose Nintendo & Microsoft consoles after SEGA's console demise. SEGA's own mistakes aside (which SEGA could not afford to recover from, unlike some "big corporations") a lot of SEGA fans still blame sony. Sony initially had NOTHING in terms of quality first party studio's, they BOUGHT their way in to this business, moneyhatted games galore, and literally spent billions of their corperate money advertising the ps1 everywhere under the sun. That's why im still baffled by the sony fans who hate microsoft, especially when BOTH companies had fook all to do with gaming as their primary business before entering the market. Nintendo & SEGA from day 1 had a tonne of first party studios, and were in this business for the right reasons, the seedy way in which sony entered the gaming world will forever leave a bitter taste in my mouth. basically as mentioned before they MONEYHATTED 3rd party exclusives due to having NOTHING by way of quality FIRST party games and then proceeded to splash the cash, muscle, hustle and BUY their way to the top. |
Then why don't you hate Microsoft as well when you've just implied that they did the same thing?
Also, I think you're using "moneyhatting" as an excuse as to why SONY came in so strong with the PS1, both SEGA and Nintendo really dropped the ball at the same time there was an explosion in the gaming industry, all of those new IPs and studios would have sided with SONY. The same thing happened with the Xbox 360 this gen. There is nothing wrong with funding 3rd party exclusive and buying new IPs in my opinion. Moneyhatting exclusives from another system is the only real dick move. Other than Final Fantasy, can you name any other franchise that exclusive to another console that was "stolen"? I'm not saying you can't, I just don't think you'd find many.
