Damn right he does, I'm sure Shigeru Miyamoto has a PS3 or a Vita! This is a business and part of leading a business is to know your enemy as much as possible. (edit) ha ha, I requested him and he added me, wow!

SoundGamer4176d ago

Yeah, he's a cool dude. Real down to earth.

gokuking4176d ago

I actually highly doubt Miyamoto has a PS3, or a Vita. A few years ago he didn't even know who Ratchet & Clank were.

deafdani4176d ago

Well, Masahiro Sakurai has (or used to have, at least) a PS3, where he played several games.

gokuking4176d ago

@deafdani Oh, no doubt Sakurai owns multiple hardware. I believe I've seen him with a few special edition PSPs, and Vitas. But of course Sakurai is not Miyamoto.

Kiddcarter4176d ago

And you really believed him when he said he didn't know who they were? of course he acted like he had no idea what R&C was, at the time it was being said that he had based an entire Mario game off of something r&c did first, so yea he is going to say he doesn't know who ratchet and clank, to say otherwise would prove that he borrowed their idea to make Mario galaxy

ThatMiamiGuy4176d ago

So you mean, we can own more than one gaming system... from different companies?!

THE WAR IS OVER!!!! A PEACE TREATY HAS BEEN SIGNED!!!

What's that? There never was a console war? You mean it was just media hype to get hits and delusions from unreasonable individuals (fanboys)?

Why, I never....

PopRocks3594176d ago

Wish more people in this community were like you and Mr. Yoshida.

THE WAR IS OVER!!!! A PEACE TREATY HAS BEEN SIGNED!!!

Hilarious, funniest thing I've read in a while.

AngelicIceDiamond4176d ago

I really wish there was a "peace treaty" amognst fanboys. But nope its impossible. This blind internet pretend fanboy Warfare will continue on for a looong time.

As of now I noticed lately the fanboyism is finally calming only cuzz theres rumblings of new consoles coming very soon. But wants the new Xbox and "Omi" get released the flame will refuel All over again.

And that's when I'm probably gonna retire from commenting here. Sorry but I can't take another generation of fanboys. Lies, trolling, doom and gloom articles, fighting with people its ridiculous. Its gaming not hating somebody because they choose a different console than you.

I'll check the news coming next gen but I dunno bout commenting.

UltraVegito4176d ago

Maybe the funniest thing i've heard on this site XD bubs for you :3

TheFirstClassic4176d ago

Ha Ha good post have some funny bubs.

gumgum994176d ago (Edited 4176d ago )

lol, I wonder what console Nintendo has!

DonMingos4176d ago (Edited 4176d ago )

The moment when cross-platform multiplayer becomes reality, then the console war will have it's rightfull battle place and fanboys will fight (play) together and against each other and leave gaming sites for people interested in debatin real news about the gaming industry

I mean really how much gaming can one person take? Prob just using the game pad as a coaster and that other thing as a paper weight holding down cash money rolls.

BitbyDeath4176d ago

Bill doesn't even let his family own Apple products so i doubt he'd go anywhere near a PS4.

jmc88884176d ago

He's also a genocidal fascist, whose good ideas were luckily purchased from IBM during fire sales. MS-DOS (IBM). Windows (IBM).

So yeah, doesn't surprise me one bit that he wouldn't buy anything Apple because of MS nor 'allow his family' buy one. Yes Bill, because you're some visionary god who controls all because you can buy other people's work.

Me I don't want an overpriced, under spec'ed phone, nor need to upgrade mine every few months. By the time I need another phone we'll be on Iphone 12. Maybe I'll buy one then? Probably not, since it'll still be way too expensive for a phone.

If they made something I wanted, and was worth the cost, then I'd buy one. So I guess I won't adopt Win 8, since I really don't like Mac OS.

Buy what you like because there's legitimate reasons behind it. Don't just blindly follow one brand. It's OK to buy more than one console, and the reality is, if you want to play all the games, you need a 360/PS3/Wii U/PC. Because all of those have games the others simply won't have.

So he owns a Wii U. Why does some part of me thinks he's basically saying....."suck it trebek!"

FarCryLover1824176d ago

I don't blame Bill though for banning Apple products at home...

Qrphe4175d ago

@jmc8888

He's also a genocidal fascist?

Do you even KNOW what that means? There is no room for hyberbole here son, specially when we're talking about a man that is to donate the vast majority of his wealth to charity as of his death.

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."

RiseNShine7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.

gold_drake7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.

nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.

people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly

mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.

zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.

nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.

its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.

but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.

Inverno7d ago

Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.

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.

Profchaos16d ago (Edited 16d 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.

exputers16d ago

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

Profchaos15d ago (Edited 15d 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_looken15d 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.

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

phoenixwing16d ago

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

H916d ago

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

jambola15d 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

SegaSaturn66916d ago

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

Popsicle16d 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.
