Sony+Nintendo=future partnership and bond between the two CEOs

Abriael3759d ago

Ahah. I would love to see Sony and Nintendo partner again to be honest, but I doubt it'll ever happen.

kwandar3758d ago

It may .... Sony needs to focus on core business to make money.

PS4 is nicely dressed to the only real buyer in town - Nintendo.

miyamoto3758d ago (Edited 3758d ago )

I wonder what technology will Nintendo steal again and call it "innovation" only to be slapped with a patent infringement case later on?

Wii - remote control and Hillcrest Labs
Wii U - Tablets craze
3DS - Tomita Industries 3D camera

The only original thing Nintendo has a part in creating is the original PlayStation. Even bad things like backstabbing works together for good for those who love video games. Thus PlayStation was born.

fonger083758d ago

@miyamoto are you serious???
1. Every major technology company has faced patent lawsuits one time or another, saying Nintendo stole innovation is quite a mundane statement... see Google, Samsung, Apple, and of course Sony.
2. So by that statement anyone anywhere that creates a tablet with gaming is a theif?
3. Lol that they lost one and will probably settle out of court. Sometimes you win sometimes you lose. Sony and Microsoft and Immersion for example.

Every company (especially in video industry) borrows (or steals depending on how you view it) ideas from each to expand, redefine, and push. See just the evolution of the controller and it's layout... Troll harder.

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3759d ago

Nah I do not see that happening.

LOL_WUT3759d ago

I don't think it should happen too be honest with you especially with how arrogant Reggie is. Sony is doing great for themselves while Nintendo on the other hand is still fumbling in the dark with their newest console. ;)

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3759d ago

What does Reggie have to do with Nintendo worldwide decision making. He only operate Nintendo of America.

Dgander3759d ago

@LOL_WUT Jack Tretton and Yoshida are two of the most arrogant people in gaming. Are we all forgetting their mudslinging in recent years towards other companies just because they are "pretending" to change their attitude now? Why do you think most Sony fanboys are so rude and disgusting over the internet? They follow their leaders of course.

Nintendo unknowingly created PlayStation it's only fair.

DanielGearSolid3759d ago (Edited 3759d ago )

I doubt Nintendo would do any thing crazy to sabatoge Sony at the event...
The Japanese are pretty honorable

MS would though:

Read em and weep haha

maniacmayhem3759d ago

You do know what Nintendo did to Sony that made Sony go off and make the PlayStation right?

There was no honor in how all that went down, that I can assure you.

DanielGearSolid3759d ago

Very different scenarios, but i'll just let you have it... Too much typing to explain

wonderfulmonkeyman3759d ago (Edited 3759d ago )

You do know that nintendo betrayed them because Sony tried to sneak in a clause in the business contract that would have made all profits from every game made for the snes cd drive add-on go straight to Sony and none to nintendo, right?
Do your research; Sony pulled a sleazy move first and nintendo just said "nope" and walked out on the deal.
Its sad that they went to Phillips for a deal, though. Boy was that ever a mistake....
But i digress; it was Sony who was dishonorable first. Nintendo just fought fire with fire by dropping the contact without notice to Sony.
Had Sony been honest with their end of the deal, we might be seeing the big 2 today...
There's a one minute lore video on YouTube about Sony's history that details all of this.

Loadedklip3759d ago

If Nintendo and Sony teamed up it would basically be the SNES again ... best system of all time.

Nintendo backed by full third party support ... oh yea and the bonus of Sony 1st and 2nd party games as well.

The Super Playstation Entertainment System ... SPES for short.

:)

BosSSyndrome3759d ago

Sony's hardware power with Nintendo's hardware innovation.
Sony's console success with Nintendo's handheld success.
Sony exclusives, Nintendo exclusives, and 3rd party.
Super Smash Brothers Battle Royale.
Dear lord...

3-4-53759d ago

Yea I hope they can at least create one new great IP/franchise together in which they both get %50 or a 50/50 deal.

* It would be a new mascot or mascots that both Sony & Nintendo could use as much or as little as they want and both would ALWAYS profit 50/50.

It would only be this one franchise so it wouldn't screw up either company, but I would love for this scenario to play out sometime in the next 5-10 years.

The Possibilities would be crazy.

That Time Miyamoto Wanted Goldeneye on N64 to End With Handshakes

In an interview years ago, the Goldeneye 007 director revealed that Miyamoto and Nintendo were not at all pleased with the in-game violence of the James Bond game, so they suggested some ways to tone it down.

well, I have a feeling we'll be coming back to those days with how everyone is offended by something...

EazyC1142d ago (Edited 1142d ago )

Outwardly...it has more to do with validation than offence.

I think back to the 90s when DOOM was offending the religious middle class... parents were genuinely offended by the violent material...idiotic mentality of course, but I genuinely believe their core sensibilities/morals felt attacked. Much like Marilyn Manson's music did.

I don't really buy that today. We're so exposed to every pit of the human experience that I don't actually believe that raving lunatics on Twitter actually feel that offended by ANYTHING they claim. It's just trendy/herd mentality.

The resulting effect is the same of course...your favourite show/host/artist is suddenly 'cancelled' because some screeching 17 year old vegans on the internet couldn't apparently tolerate that they used an old-fashioned term or some other trivial nonsense... but the disingenuousness of it all is really irritating me at the min.

Strange991142d ago

I’m a little offended that you had feelings in regards to this article. I’d like to schedule a zoom call with you to discuss this matter further. We can iron it out with a virtual handshake. If this works for you, have your therapist and lawyer call mine.

CrimsonWing691141d ago

You, sir get a thumbs up. Best comment, lol.

Shiken1142d ago

Meanwhile Ganondorf throws up blood, and Link then goes to impale him in the throat as Ganon.

Jeriphro1142d ago

Meanwhile, Eternal Darkness was a GameCube exclusive that came out 5 years after Goldeneye 007, and it contained horror, blood, and psychological terror, among other things. haha. Nintendo can be really weird about how they want to filter things.

TricksterArrow1142d ago

I miss Eternal Darkness dearly. ):

iplay1up21142d ago

Eternal Darkness needs a sequel and a full fledged remake!
