 I don't think they like losing to anyone and this kind of philosophy ensures that they're willing to take things away from the comptetiton just to watch them burn.


I don't think anyone likes/wants to lose at anything, if you do you're in pretty weak form tbh, it's why survival of the fittest is still a thing and besides Sony got in because of what happened with Nintendo and they wanted to see them burn, hell I played a few matches of HotS and wanted the players I was against to burn, I wanted to win no matter the cost, I don't see anything wrong with wanting to win or maintain the same standing, it's better than flat out losing and never gaining any ground what so ever, graciously "bowing" out doesn't earn you any goodwill or favours, it just means you admitted you lost, from there on you don't come back from that.


You're right, nobody likes to lose. But the point MS entered the console space was to disrupt Sony so that the PC didn't lose market share to the home console. They didn't do it to control that market, they wanted to DESTROY that market and ever since then they've created policies that have been overall bad for you, me, and up and coming independent studios trying to catch the spotlight.

 

Fact is Sony came to Nintendo because they wanted their form of physical media to gain traction. Nintendo backed out and Sony knew they had something big with the CD format and ran with it. You're talking about two MAJOR differences in why these companies are here today, why they entered in the first place, and why they're perceived how they are. #DealWithit
