| pokoko said: This isn't a situation that just suddenly came about. This should have been addressed long, long before the Wii U was ever released. Yet we had important western developers saying that, even though Microsoft and Sony kept in constant contact, Nintendo never spoke with them at all. It's not about "price wars" and "money giving", it's about creating a platform where third-party developers and publishers feel like they can perform well. Sony and Microsoft have both done that from the moment they stepped into the industry--why hasn't Nintendo, which has been around far longer? Third-parties don't avoid Nintendo because of a grudge, they avoid it because they know nothing has changed. Nintendo is only about Nintendo. They've never tried to create a situation where everyone prospers, only one where they have full control and lion's share of the profit. Besides, Monster Hunter makes this entire argument sound very hollow. |
I'am not arguing the fact that in the past that Nintendo has shitted on their partners. I've admitted that in my first comment
I am addressing your statement that Iwata was making an "excuse" in that last paragraph. I suggest you read my reply again
