Have no idea what Nintendo did to you and your family but I hope you can heal one day.
Typical Nintendo fan logic. You can't simply just dislike and criticize GOD aka Nintendo.
Right now, the only reason ps4 is top console is because of how much microsoft fucked up.
Yeah I guess Sony should receive no credit for creating a gamer centric console, a clear direction for the system, and easy to develop for system, a pool of good 1st part developers, and great 3rd party relations. It's all because MS messed up. Talk about a dumbing down. Sony did'nt all of a sudden create the PS4 the way it did right there at E3 2013.
You mention all of those things Sony did to turn around ps3 but Nintendo turned around the 3ds in a radical way.
They lowed the price and kept it chugging a long with the same types of games as the DS. Oh boy!
With PS4, Sony didn't really have that much quality going for them, especially in the software arena. They won people over not by admitting mistakes, but by being smug about the other team (nostably the used game video at the E3 conference with Boyes). Sony went from outright hubris with ps3 launch to "how do we get sales" with a lot of ps3's life to "well the other team fucked up let's party!
Yeah you're right. It was all being smug.
Making the PS4 easy to develop for after the PS3's CELL disaster was not a course correction. It was them being Smug.
Making the PS4 affordable right out the gate was not a course correction on the PS3's price issues. It was them being smug.
Doubling down on 1st party support was not course correction from the early days of the PS3 relying on 3rd party exclusives. It was the being smug.
Having a gamer targeted message was them being Smug.
Focusing on the PS4 as a game console wasn't a course correction to the PS3's multimedia focus. It was them being smug.
Having at least an open ear to more niche games isn't a change from the Sony who passed over Demon Souls. It's them being Smug.
Sony was being Smug and has been all because of one quickly made(probably right there that day at E3) video. Yeah makes so much sense.
I am seeing much more effort in trying to make amends with the Switch from Nintendo
Yeah I guess changing the entire corporate and system direction isn't making amends compared to Nintendo who had one guy say some obvious stuff and having a system that is basically attempting the same thing as the previous system but more refined.
And let's be real. Nintendo didn't abandon the Wii U like Sony did with Vita.
Yeah and I would'nt trust Sony with a handheld like I don't trust Nintendo with a home console unless I just brush off all criticisms like you are.
The Wii U had a robust launch and instead of padding the release schedule they were left with gaps. That is what Reggie said. Reggie is right in that launch doesn't mean much. Dreamcast launched with probably the best game launch of all time and it meant jack shit in the end. By spacing their releases steadily rather than putting all their eggs in a basket, they show they've learned a valuable lesson from Wii U. How is that hard to parse?
Robust in that it had lots of ports, thats it. It's launch conveyed a system that wasn't needed if you had a PS3 or Xbox. Here they are conveying the same thing basically. We don't have a lot and our best game is on the Wii U also. Launch's can easily send a message and it's questionable in the Switch's case.
Spacing their releases out is exactly why they did with the Wii U. Big gaps between big games. Doesn't look diffrent with the Switch.
