Sony to Nintendo: “Great Job”

Mention Nintendo during a Sony interview, and there’s bound to be some mud-slinging. In this case, however, the company seems more inclined to bake their competitor’s a congratulatory cake.

I would say great job too because they're making up for what they failed to do last generation. Funny is that the Gamecube and Gamecube 2 sales still don't equal to PS2's and just barely equal to PS1.

I liked the GameCube more than the PS2. Sure, it had less games, but those games it had were pretty unique and awesome.

Then again, just me.

TheLeprachaun4918d ago

Agreed, I loved the Gamecube. It had an awesome library of games.

thehitman4918d ago (Edited 4918d ago )

mario party 1-4? I had got gamecube over ps2 because I loved n64 and gamecube was the hugest dissapiontment ever. PS2 definitely outdid gamecube in everyway Socom was the breaker when that came out my mouth hit the floor and bought a ps2.

But I had played it once on a Games shop.

I played Luigi's Mansion, and it's a great game.

The DS is slated to surpass the PS2 late next year (yes, a HANDHELD is going to beat it and in less time too). The PS2 was awesome, and being beaten in sales won't change that, but if you're not going to accurately follow actual sales figures and just spout fanboy rhetoric you may wanna head over to FanboySpot.com

Comparing sales of a 10-year console to a 4-year console is fail at best...

n4f4917d ago

wii is selling more than what the ps2 had sold at the same time

pcz4918d ago

Its because Nintendo are civilised. They give credit where it is due.

Sony and its savage fans need to take note

pcz4918d ago

Tactile Ground Surface Indicator?

Oh, its another sony savage trying to communicate :D

Jamegohanssj54918d ago

I laughed, but give it a better name. Sony Savage doesn't roll off of my tongue.

irepbtown4918d ago

Sony Congratulated Nintendo

Sarcasm4918d ago

What in the world are you talking about? Savage fans?

shovelface884918d ago

pcz, buddy, pal, SONY is the one that gave NINTENDO credit.

Read the article...

mrcash4918d ago

haha that they hope the 3ds takes off, of course they do its 3d, sony is investing so much in 3d they are probably hoping that the 3ds buyers make a transition to 3dtvs there after.

MisterAV4918d ago

you don't have understood anything, right?

visualb4918d ago (Edited 4918d ago )

Sony congratulated nintendo you short-bus rider, get a grip of reality.

reading comments from people like you can give others brain damage, as if it were contagious or something....

snp4918d ago

Gotta love the irony, though.

Lawliet4918d ago

Hahaha! That was so true..

maxcer4918d ago

"whats this site coming to? before they just read the title...now not even that"

do you realizes how ironic this statement is?

Nitrowolf24918d ago

He is just mad because there are no sales for him.
Now it comes down who is more civilised and who is not.
lol

Yeah can you please tell me when was the last time MS thanked a company?

From Sony and their first party studio you hear thank you back and forth

naughty Dog thanks Bungie and a shit load of other companies in their uncharted 2 credits

Sky Sentry4918d ago

Please learn how to read. It is Sony who is giving credit to Nintendo. Stop making a fool out of yourself.

Bathyj4918d ago

haha. That bag of sh*t blew up in your face hey?

Narutone664918d ago

get back to school sonny and learn reading comprehension.

AceofStaves4918d ago

Perhaps you should read the article next time? An exec from Sony wishing Nintendo success with the 3DS is hardly an example of "savagery."

xAlmostPro4918d ago

@pcz did you understand the title or read the article.. sony praised nintendo and the 3ds.. nintendo didnt give any credit where it was due at all lol

..wow

pcz4918d ago

Haha i didn't read the article :)

Sony savage still has a nice ring to it though lol

turok4917d ago

u do realize the disagrees on pcz proves his point no?

/facepalm anyone who disagrees with pcz is pretty much confirmed fanboy.

so keep disagreeing and make ur thoughts known so i can gladly add u to my ignorelist. fanboys arent worth paying attention to.

@ pcz savage... no. something else... but certainly not savage i see kittens not lions. dumb is more like it.

news is slow today :/ ...

cant see them saying this to Microsoft

IrishYamato4918d ago

Sony compliment Nintendo because the 3DS is going to raise 3D awareness faster than their TV's ever could. They might also be attacking Apple- and not Nintendo, with the PSP2.

Nitrowolf24918d ago

Yup, Sony has said that they are glad that Nintendo is going 3D, this means more push. Not only that since it is a handheld and most people will buy anything Nintendo console related this is going to get 3D more out there then their TV's. So pretty much Nintendo are the ones introducing to the market, even though it's been around forever, I believe Nintendo will be the most influencial company to actually get people to buy 3D. And from there maybe they will be hooked and but other 3D enabled tech. I think that is what Sony is hoping for

xAlmostPro4918d ago

Thats because imo sony are very into provding quality.. they think 3D is good, they want to push it forward no matter if it requires help or another company pushing the same/similar tech.

Thats why i like sony :)

Sony Patents To Prevent You From In-Game Harassment By Reading Your Emotions

A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.

Profchaos1d 6h ago (Edited 1d 6h ago )

I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.

I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons

I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.

exputers1d 2h ago

Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.

Profchaos11h ago(Edited 11h ago)

How rediculas really. You can't say a word that's allowed in most PG films and prime time TV but the game is based around killing the enemy team using guns, explosives etc.

It's just backwards.

just_looken13h ago

What your talking about is called block list

In 2006 a spaceship dropped of the playstation 3/xbox 360 i say that that generation was the last great gen with game functions/tech that has yet to comeback

Anyhow the playstation 3 if you block listed a id they could not talk to you in chatroom with either text or voice. But that was pre mind fucked 2018 when people were more human than sheep.

But hey gta 6 is coming out billion dollar budget without a single player custom character creator and without singeplayer coop off/online something saints row 1-3 had on the xbox 360.

z2g23h ago

Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.

phoenixwing22h ago

Cmon where's the pictures of your children. Don't hold out on them.

H922h ago

At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath

jambola19h ago

I genuinely get a bit worried sometimes when a friend says something that could be offensive In a party
Because I have no trouble believing some bans would happen when in a private party for saying something wrong

SegaSaturn66921h ago

I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.

Popsicle21h ago

Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.

Sony Could Increase Your Game's Difficulty If It Sees You Complain About It

Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.

jznrpg1d 14h ago

This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.

Profchaos1d 14h ago

Souls games will be like that players struggling make it harder

PassNextquestion1d 13h ago (Edited 1d 13h ago )

I think if used correctly it could work well

jambola1d 9h ago

cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me

Nintendo's Massacre Of The 3DS And Wii U Is Finally Complete, Regrettably

Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
