Did any third party ask for the touchpad on the DualShock 4?

Bethesda never made a good game for a Nintendo platform, so they shouldn't expect to be treated like a major force. Besides, it's not like Bethesda's wishes really differ from those of EA and Warner Bros. who were on stage.

But really, it doesn't need to matter to me what you and others want to believe. If you want to believe that it's always all Nintendo's fault, that's fine. Because Nintendo has already decided that they aren't going to try another time only to get abandoned right away again; and that's the correct decision.

If you really think the touchpad on DS4 and the screen on the gamepad are on the same level in terms of manufacturing costs and functionality then I really don't know what to say.

As for your last comment, it really doesn't matter to me what you or others want to believe. If you want to believe it's always 3rd party's fault, that's fine. Because 3rd parties have already decided that they aren't going to try to support Nintendo consoles when Nintendo doesn't bother asking them about what they want. And that's the correct decision.


You do relaise that after 3rd parties moaned about the gamepad Nintendo annouced a pro controller? No one forced developers to use the game pad functionality. Hell you could jsut use it with the screen on and act like a normal controller.

They did ask 3rd parties what they want. The problem is they only asked EA the biggest one and got screwed for it. Remever the whole partnership deal ad origin fiasco? It's not liek NIntendo presented EA with a PS4 then when they signed up and did their whoel holding hands on stage that they revealed the real Wii U to them. EA knew what they signed up for before any 3rd party out there. If the didn't like the hardware they would have not played the song and dance.
