Ok, saying VR isn't fun pretty much means no VR company, or VR developer will like nintendo and work with them under the leadership of Reggie because of his comments, especially as he says he hasn't played the VR games on the show floor. Think less about what he says, more about the impact of what he says. Nintendo, like many other companies, have varying announce-to-release timelines, so that whole statement is false. It's also false to suggest the consoles lack exclusives, especially when he said that even before the consoles had released, and wii u was 2 years old.

By saying these things, he is offending a part of the industry and the consequences could affect nintendo in the future. How is he going to convince fans to come to nintendo if he belittles fans of other consoles?

He said that the current state of virtual reality is not fun or social.  Do you honestly believe that this statement will impact the relationship between Nintendo and virtual reality developers?  He even mentioned that Nintendo had been testing virtual reality integration.  I read his statement as, "if Nintendo is going to implement virtual reality, it's not going to be anything like what you see today."  The truth, though, is that we're both extrapolating context from a few, possibly misconstrued, words.

I still don't see how he was belittling fans of other consoles, though.


How can you state the current state of vr is not fun and have not even played the latest round of vr games/demoes?!

 

"hey developers, I haven't played your games but they are not fun and they are not social"

 

Now is a developer who works hard, sweats on creating a fun VR game gonna take a comment like that lightly. It's insulting. 

Especially add the fact that virtually every news outlet had positive reactions for the VR shown at this e3. But Reggie always has negative stuff to say about other companies tech, he can't just say "I'm interested to see where it goes, currently I don't feel the applications are at a level of consumption for the gaming market, so we are therefore not pursuing VR at this moment"

That's an open-minded, non arrogant and embracing way to talk about their stance on VR without offending anyone's hard work.
