Microsoft Buying Activision Blizzard.
- Thread starter Grand Conde
- Start date
Sony literally sitted on their asses for generations, thinking that they don't need to have a timeless mascot like Mario or a franchise like Zelda. When they given Crash and Spyro to Activision
during the PS2 gen, they thought that they were too good to appeal kiddie games. That is the price of "maturity"...it makes people fickle and not loyal.Now, Nintendo is clean from this, and Sony is
No wonder PS4 and PS5 sales been dismal in Japan. Nintendo kept it loyal and innovative, and it paid off in dividends. No way you can say that you're #1 when you shut yourself out of 1/3 of the gaming world.

Bruh PS2 had the most diverse line up of games of any console in the history of gaming I don’t know what u getting at with this. There is NO console that appealed to more audiences aside from maybe SNES. There was nothing lazy about PS2 or the way they approached gaming. Majority of IP’s that we play till this day that are multiplat come from PlayStation.Sony literally sitted on their asses for generations, thinking that they don't need to have a timeless mascot like Mario or a franchise like Zelda.

Now, Nintendo is clean from this, and Sony is
Crash Bandicoot
Resident Evil
Metal Gear Solid
Silent Hill
Tekken
Soul Blade/Caliber
Tomb Raider
Grand Theft Auto
Tony Hawk Pro Skater
Persona
Spyro
shyt like Final Fantasy 7 changed the franchise forever
And there’s plenty more where that came from. If it wasn’t for PlayStation. These shyts wouldn’t exist. nikkas is talking too reckless in this thread tryna shyt on Sony. As far as Nintendo. They fukked Sony over back in 93/94 which is why Sony ended up making a console by themselves in the first place.
How many of them are 1st party?
Exactly. Now none of them are console-exclusive anymore. Not even Tekken.
That's the thing about 3rd party companies: you need them to win console wars, but you can't be entirely dependent on them because they can be bought out by another 1st party company/ bankrupt/ fall off. That is when you need an elite 1st party company with legendary 1st party games to hold you off during the bad times.

Nintendo aint gonna merge with a company that abandoned home (Japan)
If anything, Nintendo gonna dog walk Sony into using their hardware and making the Playstation. Nintendo will force Sony to do a public apology and force them to talk about the real origins of the console to the public, before they even agree to work with them.

Like I said before. Most of these IP’s started on PlayStation. We not even gonna talk about 1st party anything if u tryna defend Microsoft being that they ain’t barely made shyt for years. They literally have been surviving off multiplats. Let’s not take it there. What I said is all facts and the fact that Sony was a new player in the gaming field and cultivated all of these classic franchises should be commended by anyone who considers themselves a console gamer. fukk these console wars. I ain’t finna let nikkas rewrite history. Y’all better be hoping to high Heaven Sony stays a strong player cause we all see what happens when any of these companies are left to their own devices. The consumer loses. These corporations are not our friends.How many of them are 1st party?
Exactly. Now none of them are console-exclusive anymore. Not even Tekken.

I mean its Nintendo and Japan they been hand in hand since day 1...Japs/Asian community will fukk with Nintendo forever that's their baby...nikka hell if Nintendo didn't succeed everything that's been happening since Nintendo took off (back in the 80's)we wouldn't be talking about none of this shyt today...Nintendo did the long-term strategy and not compete with graphics whores that do dog-eat-dog vulture capitalism that strays attentions away from QUALITY single player IPs.
With Nintendo's legendary strong first-party games, they can weather out the storm.

Who would regulate and stop the deal?
YOu never have this energy for SEGA or Nintendo in previous generations.
Sony leeched off of them, and you couldn't even give their predecessors their props.
Serves them right for abandoning Japan and trying to be like M$ with superficial high end graphics and the paradigm of cinematics > gameplay. That paradigm bankrupted a lot of franchises in the PS3 Gen, and killed 2D gameplay. @Knicksman20 can say this from word to word.
Sony stans change the rules when they are losing by them
They say that Switch isn't a real system when they are the only console that has a substantial user base in Japan. People Hate Nintendo succeeding, because it means that people love quality software that is timeless. That contradicts the PS paradigm of graphics and cinematics > gameplay. They cannot stand losing and getting outmuscle
