Hearing about some of the things they demanded from 3rd parties that released on their system back in the NES/SNES days and... well they deserve to not have any 3rd party games. Sony just had to come along and not act like a massive cunt to everyone else (something that shouldn`t be difficult for anyone) and that alone made them a way better choice for 3rd parties than Nintendo. |
I don't think third parties are vindictive like this. Third parties will put titles on the Switch if they believe it will make them money. They're businesses after all, not people with emotions. Third parties aim to profit first and foremost and if they see opportunity in Nintendo's platform, they will try developing for it regardless of what business relationships were like 20-30 years ago.
