How do you think Nintendo's and Sony's relationship is today everyone. Do you think they hate each other and try to beat one another, or do you think they respect each other and hope the best for one another despite still being somewhat competitors.

I know back in the 90s Sony hated Nintendo for betraying them and breaching contract of making a SNES-CD add-on, and their contempt towards Nintendo is probably the main reason why PlayStation exists today. As the embarrassment they felt and the contempt they had towards Nintendo fueled them to make a gaming system that would kill Nintendo as revenge, which did somewhat work as the PS1 and PS2 killed Nintendo both generations.

I think this hatred towards Nintendo and the desire to kill their company extended all the way up until the PS4. Where Sony tried to create the PS3 as the ultimate gaming machine that would leave Nintendo and Microsoft in the dust, and created a handheld the PSP hoping to kill Nintendo by trying to kill one of their primary strengths which is the handheld market, this could all be wrong though as I'm using speculation.

However, it seems like Sony and Nintendo got over their hatred, Hiroshi Yamauchi was a crazy and heartless business man who was probably the face behind Sony hating them and their asshole business practices, but he's gone now. And both companies seem to not directly compete with each other anymore.

Also, do you guys think Sony or Nintendo pay close attention to each other and their moves and try to create ideas that could potentially beat each other?
