"Microsoft is not a technology company" I'm sorry, what?

[@SampoPaalanen]

To be fair prior to the orginal X-Box, Microsoft was primarly a software Company, sure they have some items (like PC mice) under their brand but they were best known for their software not their hardware. EDIT:after the orginal X-Box was launched that changed though and I wouldn't be surpriced that they're now know more as the company that makes the X-box series of consoles then the company that makes Windows OS for PCs.

"The idea of a handheld rivalry with Nintendo is an irrelevance. Those formats don't appear in our planning. It's not a fair comparison; not fair on them, I should stress." *Nintendo handhelds proceed to outsell PlayStation handhelds routinely.* "The first five million are going to buy it, whatever it is, even if it didn't have games." *The PS3 ends up selling poorly for the first few years due to lacking exactly that.* "The Nintendo 3DS is a great babysitting tool." *The 3DS goes on to not only outsell the PS Vita, but drive Sony out of the handheld market.* "I believe that the Sixaxis controller offers game designers and developers far more opportunity for future innovation than rumble ever did. Now, rumble I think was the last generation feature." *Sony gets backlash for not implementing rumble and ironically includes it later on via Dualshock 3.* "It's probably too cheap." *Sony comes under fire for selling the PS3 at $500-600.* "Nothing good has come from the internet, period." *Xbox Live revolutionizes online gaming and makes it a standard.* "...But I fear that it won't have a lasting impact beyond that of a gimmick." *The DS goes on to become the best-selling handheld of all time.* "If you can find a PS3 anywhere in North America that's been on shelves for more than five minutes, I'll give you 1,200 bucks for it." *The whole pricing scandal, ...again.* "Microsoft does not concern us. Microsoft is not a technology company." *Microsoft classifies as a technology company through making computer software, consumer electronics, personal computers, etc.* "It's difficult to talk about Nintendo, because we don't look at their console as being a competitor." *The Wii goes on to outsell the PS3.* Boast and bash all you want Sony, but actions will still speak louder than words.

[@rgilbert2951]

Aincrad Knight Natlis and it was Nintendo themselves that made a competitor thanks to cutting their ties with Sony from the Nintendo PlayStation

[@ZenKrio]

That and Nintendo, only now with the Switch, made an actual competitive system. Yes, the Will was a big hit, but thats because of the price point and certainly isn't because of the Library, any game that wasn't first party was awful on Will. Not to mention Nintendo isn't really a competitor for Sony, it's one of those cases where they both offer very different games and cater to very different audiences and age groups. It's like I said about the Wii, it's so cheap everyone could easily get one, but a lot of people had to choose between the PS3 and 360, they both had very similar games, the Wii and WiiU didn't ever compare or compete with them. It was basically like this: If you were poor, you got nothing, a Wii or a handheld because you could afford that. If you were well off, you got the above and one of the two big expensive machines. If you could afford all three, well, you got a Wii, Ps3 and PC because the 360 was unreliable and any good games they had came out on PS3 or PC, and it's even worse today, XBone has no incentives to make it worth money, PS4 rules the exclusive scene and all XBone exclusives are also playable on PC.

@@houndrysmagolyteofhope4661 I entirely agree with you, but when it comes to kids, like 5-12, thats distinction isn't a factor. For me the number is lower because I actually hate most Mario Games, and I've set up to boycott Mario until they make a massive RPG that actually brings every character into the fold with plot and reason and lore and crap. They won't though lol. Zelda I hate as well, every game is the same, I've play ALttP and OoT, outside of Breath of the Wild that's every Zelda game in two umbrellas. For me, my list of actual good Wii games were: XenoBlade (Which is so poorly commercialized it wasn't easy to find until post Wii.) Smash Bros (Which was arguably the worst one.) Monster Hunter Tri (I personally detested the series and how it played until World made it more accessible to casuals.) Dragon Quests Swords (Which wasn't actually a good game.) Mario Kart (Which hasn't been great for me since 64.)

The PR disasters surrounding Fallout 76's launch (Canvas bag, Nuka-Rum, general PR, etc.) 2). Cutting pay bonuses for being 1 point off of the Metacritic score requirement of 85%, and generally trying to soft-restrict the development of Fallout New Vegas (forcing the team to use F3's engine and assets, and only giving them a year and a half to make the game). There's likely more stories behind that as well. 1). Fallout 76. The whole game , the game's launch, and what it stands for.

For me personally (and while it may be a recent thing) the way Sony has started treating developers who are outside of the US. They've recently set it up that if you want put your game on their console you have to arrange a talk with them on their terms which means late and early nights depending on your timezone. And heaven help you if English isn't your native language. They won't get a translator. That's all on you. In fact they won't even have the meeting if you don't speak English/have an English translator. This especially infuriating because for a couple of years now they had a thing in Japan called "Play Doujin" that allowed small time and indie developers over there to publish their games on Sony's consoles and now they've turned around and told them to all go fuck themselves with these current actions. Treating developers like shit just because they aren't from the US is a terrible thing to do and it destroys everything they had going for themselves in the international market up until this point.

[@YamatoFukkatsu]

I can already tell I'm talking to a hater when you can't even give the guys props for the love put into those games. You think its coincidence all these games have interactive photo modes? Oh, kinda like Fortnite... a game that released as a tower defense game, patched the _hell_ out of itself to become a battle royale because of PUBG and *suddenly* wanted be crossplay with new platforms that *just* can out and had yet to even get their own online straight. Honestly, the fact that everyone jumped into that without thinking shows how flawed it is. Switch owners are slowly losing universal features on other platforms and some people can't even stand the game anymore. And the coup de gras is that Sony has been doing crossplay games since the PS2 while Nintendo never got into it, and Xbox refused to join back into it after FFXI in the PS2 days. Ultimately Sony has every right to not only refuse cossplay with these guys, but has been doing it forever now and everyone is playing dumb to the fact that they have. Now *that's* sad. Furthermore, people are blowing the censorship higher than it actually is. Every game that's effected was already pushing it on the sexual side and not every case is censorship by Sony. Sometimes the Devs themselves really DO censor that stuff themselves but you guys are so blood thirsty for Sony that apparently, they're just the root of it all. Censorship apparently never existed before these guys. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Xbox doesn't sell platforms, misses out on a TON of Japanese games-- even canceling a major one, and quite frankly, has been the easiest platform for everyone to ignore because they have no exclusives which *IS* important to a platform. Also, they never would have even given out games for live if not for Sony. They've been charging for online since they appeared on the scene yet Sony was the one to teach them to actually offer services, if not games in the first place.

Hmmm, could also mention how despite not seeing Nintendo as a competitor. They have tried several times to copy them and failed each time. Motion controls, handhelds, touch controls, Smash Bros games, and of course the most recent Classic Mini system. Yeah, I know the date was early in the year, but still the PlayStation Classic tanked horribly right out of the gate. I think though that maybe that was the wake-up call to stop trying to copy Nintendo as the PS5 isn't going to be a hybrid system, at least not yet.

Here's a good Dishonorable Mention: Sony's severe mismanagement of Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale They created this new team called Superbot Entertainment just for the game, which comprised of several Fighting Game players and even Seth Killian, sounds like the makings of an awesome Crossover right? well it would be if it wasn't for the fact that Sony basically set them up for failure for several reasons: #1: The game's budget was equivalent to a low quality PSN store game which is a very big no-no when you have to do a big 1st Party Console Exclusive Crossover #2: Because Superbot was a new team and Sony allegedly had them do the character negotiations instead of doing it themselves, alot of 3rd Party companies were stingy with the characters that people actually wanted, hence why we got unwanted characters like Donte, Raiden, we allegedly almost got Lightning from FFXIII instead of Cloud and Crash and Spyro didn't even make it in at all cause of the amount of money Activision wanted in return, and the 3rd Party companies that DID contribute to the game owned characters that clearly aren't Playstation and used the game as a plug for their upcoming games ie. Big Daddy and Isaac Clarke #3: The eventual cutoff from Sony after the first DLC character pair (Kat and Emmett Graves) when they still had some stuff in the works was one of the final nails in the coffin for the game, Dart Feld from The Legend of Dragoon and Abe from Oddworld were shot down by Sony in favor of two more unwanted characters in the form of Zeus from God of War and Isaac Clarke from Dead Space, and to top it all off Superbot was promised support for the game (characters, marketing. etc) and it never materialized and they were left for dead In the end it's a semi fun crossover that leaves so much to be desired that's marred by severe mismanagement by the publisher, some design choices made by the Developer (Biggest problem with the scoring systems was trying to find the right Kill Confirms with each character, as well as still being Unbalanced even after the final Patch of the game, Kat from Gravity Rush especially is Bayonetta levels of Ridiculous), and the disgruntled fanbase that was here before and after the game's release (Donte especially was the last straw for the game leading up to its release), Nintendo fans (with a hint of the general gaming audience) didn't help matters either as they did nothing but call out the game for being a ripoff of Smash Brothers as well as the roster being full of "unknown" characters while Superbot struggled with getting what fans asked for due to Sony and the Stingy 3rd Party Companies. If there's anything anyone would like to add on I'd be pleased to hear it

[@sirekumasutra7022]

Also there wasn't much stuff to get in the game to add replayability like Smash has trophies/achievements/spirits/stickers. That really irked me. Some of the characters were just for upcoming games such as Dante for DmC and Raiden for Metal Gear Revengeance. We wanted characters like Cloud/Sephiroth, Snake, Crash, Spyro, and Lara Croft but we got uhhhhh Big Daddy, Zeus, and Isaac Clarke. At least we got a recent game with Sir Daniel and Parappa I guess lol

@@sirekumasutra7022 Don't forget that some of the guys at Superbot probably haven't even touched Game Development before Playstation All-Stars

[@YamatoFukkatsu]

Some would argue that Sony's attempt at a Smash clone was dead in the water since they don't even have that much of an iconic first-party line-up like Nintendo does (doesn't help that their history is relatively recent, having entered the console market in the mid '90s, and through it all, they mostly relied on third parties and had no intentions to establish a company mascot). It sounds like Sony just really hated this studio and wanted to have an excuse to get rid of them.

[@MrAzimuth24]

@@YamatoFukkatsu The thing is is that the first-party line-up thing shouldn't be an issue since last time I checked the game's intended audience is fans of the Playstation Brand, I for one heavily enjoyed the 1st Party characters they added (especially some of the more obscure ones like Parappa, Spike, and Fortesque), and another thing, given their Silence on the IP over 6 years later, I'm not even sure they're gonna bother deconfirming a Playstation All-Stars 2

With the Vita the issue, as I understand it, is that the machine was too powerful. Paradoxically, having your console's specs be too high can come back to bite you, since it means that making games for your console costs more money than usual. This problem gets amplified by the fact that most people making games for handhelds are generally looking to spend less money and are aimed at players who also want to spend less money.

4:20 Well. Not necessarily. Rumble can interfere with the motion controls and it requires a lot of fine-tuning to mitigate. Nintendo put in that effort but Sony did not. Nintendo could afford to put so much resources into the controller because the console itself was quite easy to develop. They were making rumble but were having trouble perfecting it. With the X-360 already out they made the decision to just cut the rumble out since it was entirely optional so that the PS3 could be released.
