    "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.

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.

    @SpedyFoxIV 5 років тому +116

    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.

Those are people who have been with them for ages. The killzone guys, which made games a ton of games on PS3 ended up making Horizon. It's sad that you can't even give them credit for that. 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.

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.

    With the Vita the issue, as I understand it, is that the machine was too powerful.

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.

    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.

    The entries about cross-play and backwards compatibility have gotten... really interesting recently.
    For starters, while Sony apparently DOES now allow for cross-platforming, they're also the only one that charges the developers in order to do so. This has lead to Randy Pitchford of Gearbox saying that they won't offer the Playstation version of Borderlands 3 to have crossplay, and for once, he doesn't seem like the one to blame.
    And then there's the PlayStation 4's internal clock. Apparently, someone recently discovered an "error" with the internal clock that, to cut a lot of technical jargon out to get to the point, is slowly counting backward and will brick the console when it hits zero, making it seemingly impossible to play games on the console. This would be bad enough, but considering this was discovered AFTER the the launch of the PS5, which was heavily hyped as having backwards compatibility, it feels less like a mistake and more like a really insidious calculation.
