DOOOOOOOM!

Nah, good on him for seeing it. Hopefully he oversees some worthwhile Sony game development now.

Hopefully this will convince Sonyites of what I have always said, that Nintendo offers something that is different from what the other two consoles are focused on.

And that's why they have a very important role to play in the industry.

Luckily they will believe it when a Sony rep says it because they certainly don't when I say it.

 

Yeah, lol.

It's pretty humerous how faboys argue with each other about the consoles, meanwhile this guy owns two Wii U's, the Microsoft head commended the other guys' E3 performances and Miyamoto was checking out Occulus Rift and Sony stuff at E3.


Its called pr.

And owning and knowing your enemys products is mere good business sense.

 

It's hilarious that you cant fathom a person from another company simply being curious about or enjoying other games.

Between Sony and MS, only one is needed (although I am a fanboy, I won't pick sides here). Nintendo on the other hand, as Yoshida said is a necessary component within the industry to help drive innovation.

What innovation by Nintendo? Care to give some examples?

Splatoon, for one - this is the one that Yoshida specifically mentioned.

The Wii's motion controls were enough of an innovation to drive the system's sales for three solid years, while both Sony and MS were forced to respond with Move and Kinect, respectively.

If you'd like, I can continue.

Yes, please continue because Splatoon seems seems like they copied The Unfinished Swan and changed it a bit.

Motion Controls - lol, yeah, such a great innovation that it's still being used today...

 

When this thread reaches page 10 and what is gearing up to be a pointless back and forth of opposing opinions being used to dismiss other opinions is in full swing, I want everyone to know we could have avoided it.

The kind of different I'm not interested in, so I don't really care.

He's right, that's why only SCEJ is trying to do something that isn't painfully mediocre and uninspiring (sorry Sony America fans)

I think you're forgeting Naughty Dogs - they make "painfully mediocre and uninspiring" games too? What about Media Molecule?


I don't want to talk about Naughty Dog.

But I love media Molecule so thats one of the exceptions i guess

not that i agree with you. but Media Molecule is a UK dev, so its part of SCEE not SCEA

Alway nice when your competitor does different things than you. That way it doesn't eat into your profit.

Because all sony consoles have is military shooters. There is not a big emphasis on driving simulation and RPGs.

Also, that statement in 2014, when so much indies come out for people sick of miltary shooters

Of course you wouldn't want to talk about them because they show that you're wrong.
