Free Radical jumped ship from Nintendo to Sony going against what you just said. 


Run this one past me again.  Free Radical started life developing for Sony consoles, unless you're going to say something like "but they're just Rare by another name!" or something, in which case I really have nothing to say to you.

Free Radical were killed by being screwed over by Ubisoft, Activision & LucasArts.  There's a very good Eurogamer interview with David Doak about it:

And aside from that, Gamecube owners just didn't really buy Free Radical's games.  No-one did.  

 

As for Tales Studio, at what point did you envisage them 'jumping ship' to Sony?  Are we talking about this generation, or are we talking about PS1 when they started developing Tales games for Playstation consoles?

Nintendo, just to annoy lilbroex.


Doesn't bother me at all. Please continue.(after all, we all know who actually did :p  )


You can't really believe the bolded. If the answer was as obvious as you suggest, then discussion would be impossible, making this thread pointless.

You can't really believe the bolded. Do you honestly think this thread was created to foster engaging even-sided discussion? 



I believe the OP craves reasonable & honest discussion, and created this thread to encourage the exchange of everyone's opinion, with equal consideration for those opinions that differ from his own.

Nothing to continue, it was a joke.

Real answer: Sony, thanks to their financials.

Your belieft is correct. Its always nice to see "reasonable"opinions. I put emphasis on "reasonable". Having a different opinion is fine but when you run into cases like Ethomez in the PS3/Bethesda thread it becomes a problem.

If you cannot support and stand behind your belief then it doesn't need to be stated. To, often to we see people who come in with b***h**t responses and nothing to back up their claim.

I pointed you to where that was. Also, you were the one who came in making the contrary responses, not me. I was already in that thread from the first post.

You suggested a thread I'd never even posted in dude.

And then you told me I was moderated on it, and I wasn't. There was nothing even remotely related in my mod history.

You said you specifically remember details... if you repeat them in one post I will find the thread for you.
