People lie in front of the camera/articles all the time. Some can be genuine. But others is just to protect their image to consumers. And to make themselves bigger. If Ubisoft did say what they should say about Nintendo. Than Nintendo fans that do own both consoles will get pissed and boycot. Small numbers. But it's a profit line and image. So it's better to be neutral above all things. It's like Reggie totally agrees with Iwata's way. He has to show a public image. But I will not buy it for a second he likes everything Japan decides on, while he's sitting in his office alone.

Your example doesn't work, because Reggie works for Nintendo while third parties do not. Nevermind that an unhappy third party could just refrain from saying anything in public. I mean, what's the point of faking a positive impression of an upcoming console in front of a camera when you have no real plans to make games for it anyway?

I throw out logic when it comes to gamers emotions that companies have to deal with.
