Become Like Nintendo.

  • Best Selling IPs.
  • Actually Profits on Hardware.
  • Best Selling Hardware Manufacturer.

I can't get over this quote, I wonder what Nintendo makes of it, I don't even get the point that Sony is trying to make here aside from playing on CMA's ignorance from when they claimed that Switch doesn't compete with Xbox/PlayStation and is more a fitness device than a gaming one, Lol.

Tbh...Xbox 360 often had the tagline of being the home of FPS titles too, didn't stop Sony from outselling it.

The truth is, that's a statement that only makes any kind of sense as an argument for why this is bad for Sony, if they view Nintendo the same way that certain fanboys view them. It's completely divorced from business reality.

They always have viewed Nintendo that way, Sony has never taken Nintendo seriously as a competitor, apparently even now after Switch kicked PS4's ass in less time on the market. Remember when former Sony Computer Entertainment of America President Jack Tretton called the Wii a kids "Lollipop" and the DS a "babysitting tool" compared to Sony's PS3 and PSP? They seem to be totally divorced from reality, unbelieving that Nintendo consoles can outsell them with poor specs and lower 3rd party support, even as Switch has already done so.
