It is kinda funny how Sony fans basically get everything they want ... Final Fantasy VII Remake? Yup Sony got it. Last Guardian? OK. Uncharted 4? Yup. VR? Yup we're doing it. Even doing Shenmue III. Sounds like Crash Bandicoot is coming back too.

Meanwhile at Nintendo ... lol, we're bracing ourselves for Paper Mario (the only notable Wii U only release left) to not suck like Sticker Star did because we have nothing to really look forward to for the next year now. And we just kinda got a half-assed Star Fox I guess which got force fed a bizarre control scheme no one asked for.

We get treated like shit and it's not like this hardware was cheap either. I paid $350 for the Wii U and $250 for the 3DS ... $600 ... for quite honestly pretty low powered/outdated hardware and we're all hoping and begging that the NX, coming 3+ years after the PS4 will at least match the PS4 spec.

We really do get treated like peasants.

Peasants? I wouldn't go that far.

As for what you said SOny is offering...

FF VIIR is looking to not be a SOny exclusive the way they talked about it. 

Last Gaurdian... You mean the game that got delayed basically a whole gen and became the butt of a joke?

I'll give you UnCharted 4 though. It is a multi million selling franchise. 

Shenmue III... you mean the game people had to fund and have Yu Suzuki say that might not even be enough?

 

I won't lie, Sony has done a lot of great things this gen but attributting all of that stuff to them is a bit hyperbolic. 

It's just a difference in effort level. Sony/MS like them or not work pretty hard to make sure their consumers who like the type of content they make, basically get what they want and are generally kept happy.

With Nintendo? The attitude is more like "we're Nintendo, fuck you we do whatever we want and you should be OK with that", lol ... which is just jarring when you compare the two.

Sony fans? Probably getting a fucking fantastic E3 this year with tons of great games. MS I'm sure will put up a good fight too.

Nintendo fans? LOL. All we can do is look back at E3 from two years ago and reminsence. I think in the last 5 years, Nintendo's had maybe 1 E3 (2014) where the fan base really went away feeling happy and well catered to.

Nintendo has like this bizarre almost advasarial relationship with their own fans.
