Why didn't they have second thoughts about the PS4 after Sony blew it with the PS3?(at least initially) They even supported the Dreamcast at launch.

Something smells. I don't think these developers hate Nintendo, they're jealous.

I remember back in 2007 Hirai in an interview said something like: "we can't let Nintendo run with the market". Basically confirming right there it's conspiratory in the way it was worded and the question.

But here's the thing: when Nintendo does well, the industry does well because they bring a lot of people in. These developers have to make their minds and bury their resentment once and for all.

Yamauchi is DEAD. WTF are they holding a grudge for? Stupid.

Do you just ignore all evidence to support this exact thing? PS4 games wouldn't announced from 3rd parties unless it had a PS3 version along with it for nearly 2 years. Japanese developers are always very slow to move over to new hardware exclusively.

Summing up the direction of publishers to jealousy/anger at Nintendo is one of the biggest leaps I've seen in a quite a while.
