The fact that Sony isn't even close to fulfilling these goals is a testament to their own arrogance. It goes to show that all that they truly care about is to satisfy the audience that already wants a Playstation 4, while the people who find little interest in the console are left with no incentives to change their minds.

If they wish to broaden their userbase and appeal to new consumers who aren't already Sony fans, this attitude desperately needs to change.

 And for god's sake, reach out to Nintendo. They've been treading water for a few years now, so they could really need some support.

Are you joking? Nintendo has been treating other game companies like crap for years. It is time Karma happen to them. There are bad history, regarding Nintendo relations with other gaming companies. Bathesda laugh at Nintendo because they have so much money but they aren't willing to give them a free dev kit and free marketing, and expect a game from them. There are history with Nintendo and Sony too, Nintendo basically laugh at Sony's partnership console agreement. Also Nintendo's Youtube policy, and most other gaming companies don't have it.


OT but without derailing too much, my understanding was that the PlayStation CD Add On for the SNES broke down because Sony basically decided they wanted all (or the vast majority of) the licensing royalties for the games on it. Which would have effectively made Nintendo a 3rd party on their own format.

To be fair to Sony; execs at Nintendo okayed and signed the deal.  When Yamauchi found out, much later apparently, instead of going to Sony to renegotiate he went to a competitor to make a competing platform.  That's just bad business and quite possibly cost them dearly.

Dunno who you're talking about, but it obviously isn't Sony...

I'm guessing he was just going along with this joke thread.

If not then I'm concerned about his views because he just described Nintendo's problem.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

No worries.  After all, we got two of the greatest things in video-game history out of that broken agreement:  the PSX and Zelda: Wand of Gamelon on the Phillips CD-i.

1. The charge is worth it for the free games you get every year
2. Sony strikes so many deals, rarely with the likes of EA, you think ninty really want to work with sony right now?
3. Relaunch or make a new one? old home sucks
4. hmm



So this joke thread? i think its your unconscious desire to own a ps4 :P



You obviously did a lotta drinking this weekend. You're confused and you don't what you're talking. You should drink a nice glas of tomato juice and get some sleep.



Hunting Season is done...

So... Sony isn't going win Rol over anytime soon...



@rol - No offense. But Sony don't have to won you over as they have millions of fans. But if you want to won over Sony get a PS4.
