Forums - Gaming - Any Nintendo fans with ill will for Sony?

There is fanboys on very side. some so extreme they will use any reason to make an argument,

Regular fans of each console make really don't care about the past.

I am sure you will find more Nintendo fans upset with Nintendo for making stupid decisions.

I'm a Nintendo fan that also likes Sony. I have a PS4 and think it's superb. However I will admit to disliking a minority of their fanbase, they act a bit high and mighty and saint Sony can do no wrong. I really did like seeing them squirm when the Wii was obliterating all in its path as I'm sure they have enjoyed Nintendo fans suffering in the Wii U years. All in all I think the industry is at its best when Nintendo and Sony both thrive like they are doing at present with Switch and PS4.

Yeah, that can get really annoying sometimes. That being said though, there are some particular Nintendo fans who act pretty much the same way when Nintendo has even a small amount of success, which can get really irritating

I like the games, but the company not as much. They have had some horrible PR in the past, have blatantly ripped from Nintendo's successes, and made industry moves specifically to destroy Nintendo. MS, on the other hand, would love to buy Nintendo and has maintained a much friendlier and healthier relationship with them, especially for the industry. MS has other problems though, but I at least respect how they have handle Nintendo and vice versa.
Having said all that, Sony has been much much better this generation in how they approach their competition and what they offer their customers, and I think consumers and others in the industry have taken notice.

Sony doesn't want to destroy Nintendo. Nintnendo was using Sony employees behind their back and Sony tried to make a business relationship. When Nintendo read the contract at Ces for the super nes add on they walked out on Sony. Nintnedo is like that with third party and have a history of doing that. Sony was going to write off the gaming industry but the guy who nintnedo was using to make the snes cd convinced Sony to salvage the project and go head to head with nintnedo and thus the PlayStation was born.

My comment is more about later moves such as when they decided to enter the handheld market. Sure, it is the right of every company to release product and try something new, but at the time, the Sony/Nintendo relationship could not have been more at odds. Sony was becoming extremely arrogant off the huge success of PS2, much like Yamauchi was with the success of NES and SNES, and the GCN, after having lost tons of 3rd party support to PS2 and Xbox in a continuation of the 3rd party migration from the N64 days, was showing obvious signs that Nintendo was in decline. The only thing keeping Nintendo strong was the handheld market and everyone knew that. GBA was a beast. Sony wasn't satisfied with just the main console market. They wanted it all at one of Nintendo's weakest moments. This was after and before copying many of the innovations Nintendo introduced to gaming and before a lot of their PR blunders and arrogant statements with PS3. Thankfully, just as Nintendo has shown they love to do, Nintendo used their experience in gaming and the industry position they hold to throw a curveball with the DS, showing yet again that Nintendo is an industry invigorator.

Ken Kutaragi was either a big part of these Sony tactics or his departure was just a sign of a new direction. But since then, Sony has almost completely turned their PR and business approach around, however I'm reserving my thoughts on their new position until I see more evidence of a change. I still fully expect them to release a PlayStation Switch next year in an attempt to take Nintendo's lucrative, and hard earned, industry niche away, a potential to kill Nintendo and begin the last chapter in what has been a beloved industry built on the invigorating way that Nintendo innovates.



Never was a fan of Sony. Xbox,Pc and Switch. I dont need more. And the reason is very simple. Dualshock controllers are a joke for me. And i dont like that wanna be elegant design of sony. In fact i dont have even one sony Product in my house.



I'm a Nintendo Fan but i will never trade my PS4 for anything else. Do i feel bitter? sure!! I feel a little bitter but not because of what Sony did but for what Nintendo didn't do.

I don't know why people would be so loyal/obedient to one corporation like that, but I guess there are those types of people that exist!

I was at VGC in 2008 as well and I knew that was a thing back then too. The OP is talking about Nintendo fans being bitter over things that happened in the 90s not what happened after. Are there Nintendo fans that are bias against Sony today? Of course. I am sure they have different reasons on why not just something that happened in the 90s.

 

Trust me. Many are still bitter. They still held a grudge and that's the reason they blamed third party. I used to blame third party until I read up on the history myself. Nintendos isssues with third party including Sony who was third party for them, was not good compared to first and third party relationships today.

Where are these  bitter Nintendo fans? I never met one in real life. Only on the internet like Youtube.

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind

I find this thread is odd, that was in 90" its not like that happened just now with PS4 and then some Nintendo fans are bitter. Also from some reason people trying hard to forget that last gen Nintendo dominated gaming and actually had best generation ever in history of gaming.

I am glad that Sony is doing well, but I am not so glad that PS4 dominating currently market so much and that XB1 is not doing better, because strong competition is always better that domination of one console.

Talking about bitter, I will always be bitter because Sega was forced to left hardware console market, Sega was good and very own, it was pretty different compared to Nintendo, Sony also was (and still is) different compared to Nintendo, but MS is to similar to Sony.



Honestly not at all, I've owned every Nintendo console and handheld (NES-Switch, and Gameboy-3DS), and every Sony home console (PS1-4). And tbh I don't expect that to change anytime soon. That being said I would consider myself a much bigger Nintendo fan than I am towards Sony, but I still wish nothing but the best for both companies.

Edit: Let me rephrase that, I was basically lying there. I don't want either company to ever fail or go under. I still want Nintendo to "Win" the console generations by sales and everything. Though it can get kinda ugly in comment sections console wars are just plain fun and at the end of the day they're just speculation on who's "doing better."

DS > PSP

3DS > Vita

PS2 >>>> GC

Wii > PS3

PS4 > Than WiiU/Switch

-- It's all just a lot of fun seeing how heated we'll get over our companies.



I strongly favoured Nintendo back in the day over Sony to the point of saying the N64 was superior in every way to the PS1. Then I turned 12 and realized how stupid that is, and just enjoyed both consoles, which is what I've done ever since then.
