Dont get why he would publicly come out and say something along the lines of Sony not being friendly to pubs his size.
So you come out paint that picture, so now pubs your size that reads this think “hmm, maybe i should just deal with nintendo only”.
See when you a big mouth its bad for business for everyone you partner with.

Should have kept some of thoes comments to himself. Not only should he say sorry but also correct the image of Sony he just created in this interview. I mean sony, nin, and ms are only out there looking for the best deals for their platforms. If this is not the case then i would like to know what nin said to him that convinced him to make the deal with nin and he could not go back to sony for a counter offer, you know like how we do in business?

What I got out of his comments wasn't so much Sony being unfriendly ,more along the lines of we have made a deal with Sony but talking to Nintendo about porting the game, they  heard that Nintendo would be willing tol give them a guaranteed sales bottom line number by way of a guaranteed minimum number of orders but in return want exclusivity, knowing they already had a deal with Sony that prevented them from making it fully Nintendo only they fell back on digital for Sony versus Physical exclusive to Nintendo , so really it was just about nisa being given incentives to make the game exclusive to switch rather than just porting it, and them trying to get around their Sony deal , his fault wasn't so much talking about it, if he just said nintendo 's deal was to good to turn down and left Sony and snk out of it he would have been fine.but somehow it became Sony's fault.

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

Apology accepted? who are you?

For the first time ever a From Software game will also come to a Nintendo platform (Dark Souls Remastered).

Don't bother VGP. It's the first stolen console exclusive so it counts.

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.

They also ended up slowing down on indie support, now they have more AAA titles on board. At the start of the gen it was all about showing as much Indie support, but after 2017 it's basically become a thing to not focus on.

I hope you realise that the headline of that article is simply a clickbait.

Sony's Jim Ryan said that for the E3 presentation specifically, they found some stuff more relevant to show and some less so. He even clearly says that their own Gran Turismo Sport was not given a spotlight at their E3 conference, just like an indie video reel, because they found those less relevant to the show, but still very much important to Sony.

Also while Britain has questionable taste levels in games, its good to hear the French have great ones (jrpgs) apparently :)

Wait, so this is off-topic, but did someone actually ban JPRGfan for this harmless, jokingly made sneer at UK's taste in regards to RPG? I mean there's a clear smiley at the end, indicating you shouldn't take this as anything too serious.

I would normally be surprised at such appalling decision, but then again this is par for the course when it comes to Aura7541.

But Dark Souls had a simultaneous launch on PS3 and XB360, followed by a PC release. Not only that, but the technically superior versions of the Switch release are on PS4 and XB1. Dark Souls is far from exclusive, unless you count it being exclusively absent on Nintendo until now.

While I aree, this isn't really the place to discuss this. I would recommend taking it to the Mod thread- that's what it's for, and it'll keep this thread from being derailed.

I think he was specifically trying to refer to Alkibades' narrative that PlayStation is dying in Japan, and using From Software having a game on a Nintendo console for the first time as proof of that, while being incorrect as the GameCube, a console with pretty poor sales in Japan, even had more than one From Software game so them putting their games on a Nintendo console isn't really the be-all and end-all for PlayStation in the region.

Honestly, I don't really see the need for an apology either. It didn't really seem as if he was being negative towards sony, and I was someone who found the info to be interesting. It did make me curious when he mentioned Sony not being so friendly to them and what he meant by that.

Thanks for the suggestion, will make sure to do that from now on.
