I was actually thinking and looking up the same thing.

Then I seriously mis-understood what was talked about.

They shouldn't bite the hand that's fed them for so long. Apology accepted, but they shouldn't let this happen again.

It's not a great move to dish Playstation. On the other hand Playstation isn't all that hot in Japan. So I doubt this will have any real concequences. As he said Switch is the future for smaller Japanese studios. Square, Atlus and Capcom will do fine on either.

The thing is that I actually find the criticism towards Sony as justified. Over the past few years, I've noticed that Sony hasn't done much to help niche games. Persona 5, for example, hardly got any mention during their press conferences. Gravity Rush 2, which is a 1st party game for crying out loud, had very little marketing and promotion.

Ok. I'm not trying to pick a fight, but I'm not sure why you would think he's not apologinzing to Sony. Because this: “I must extend my most heartfelt apology to SNK and Sony Interactive Entertainment", sure reads like an apology to Sony.

So does this: "Once again, I apologize to SNK and Sony."

But both games sold well. And maybe they’re marketed more in the JP market where they’ll sell. They’re not gonna move those games in NA. 

I think he was just being honest.

Right now many developers are looking towards the Switch because it's new, and it's already proven itself to be successful. The PS4 is an awesome console, but realistically, it's not as safe of a bet for the long term. If a developer is going to start development today on a game that takes 2+ years to develop, they want to know that the console will still be relevant at that time.

Eh. Doesn't sound like something anyone should have to apologize for, unless there was some misinformation there.

meh shouldn't have to apologize because some oversensitive entitled gamers
