Not Sony's fault Square went with the PS1 due to the N64's lack of a CD drive.
MS President Brad Smith: In Europe, PlayStation has 80% Marketshare, Xbox has 20%. Globally it’s 70/30

I can be considered a Sony fan and I'm amiable with Nintendo... I even wanted to buy a Switch (I waited so much that now I will wait the next device... my first priority is PSVR2).the same could be said for sony fans about nintendo but none of the talking points they use to hurt xbox have any affect on nintendo.
-Nintendo has been in the industry longer than Sony
-Nintendo has stronger 1st party exclusives than Sony
-Nintendo is even more beloved and successful in japan than Sony
-Switch is selling extremely well and has surpassed PS4
-Square Enix loves us
the only thing they have on nintendo is hardware power, and that usually only rears its head when the salt and port begging begins over Switch exclusives (Bayonetta, Japanese games, Square Enix games, etc).
Like clockwork after every Nintendo Direct is usually a slew of Sony, Xbox and PC fans scrambling for port confirmation over the 3rd party games shown, lol.

There's a decent number of folks who don't like them because of the deals they've signed with Sony and how chummy the two companies seem in general.
Nintendolts hate Sony because Sony got all the third parties on board with the first PlayStation by not treating them like shit the way Nintendo always did.
Much like Xbots, Nintendolts refuse to accept that their console maker of choice/surrogate family fucked up their own business and allowed Sony to overtake them.
did find this one funny though.
Games have started saying 'Coming to PC, PS5 and other consoles' in their trailers.
Xbox is that damned irrelevant, lol. Imagine having to google after every trailer to see if your platform even gets a game!

not always. Switch owners get the usual crap from all angles. Especially when it comes to 3rd party exclusives, people get PISSED when they see Switch get anything. then it all devolves into the usual "kiddy"or poor graphics BS.
I'm not sure what forums you frequent but almost nobody comes after the switch. I, like many playstation owners have a switch as a second console. Nintendo discussions are often in their own lane and rarely overlap with the home consoles. Nintendo fans often diss their own platforms and games (pokemon's performance).

read the comments here. Doesn't help there's also the Steam Brick fanboy beggars after us now too.
People just really hate to see Switch's success in Japan for some reason.
Getting the old “And the rest” treatment from the Gilligan’s Island theme song!
but nintendo were the ones who fucked sony.I believe some old Nintendo fans can't forget the SNES to PS1 period where most 3rd-party franchises migrated to PS1.
Some believes Sony betrayed Nintendo.
from that point on, sony created Playstation
Yeap in business terms but for fans it was other way around.
It was Sony steling "their" franchises.
I can understand because the gamers should only deal with what come or not for it platform and not about what happened in the backstage.
I believe Square Soft was what did more hurt the feelings and they really increased a lot the output on PS (Square Soft released several games per year on PS).
And, contrary to the current narrative on GAF, Sony Computer Entertainment wasn’t using money from Sony Corporation to make the PlayStation.
Sony Imagesoft was the original name of the division, and they were a highly successful software publisher on Japanese PCs, including the MSX, and the Famicom and Super Famicom.
It was their experiences as a Nintendo third-party publisher that guided their approach to third-party relationships with the PlayStation. They revolutionized the industry by actually treating third-party publishers and developers as partners instead of competitors, as they believed that sharing information and supporting developers outside Sony would grow the business and strengthen the platform.
In contrast, Nintendo treated their third-party partners like vassals, and SEGA went as far as withholding improved SDKs from developers for as long as a year to make their own games more advanced than those made by the companies paying them a cut to put games on their platform!
No wonder Sony’s approach led to the widest support for their platforms, huh?
Most has, though, a select few deranged sony fanboys is hardly representative.
The character designs used in the trailer weren’t even the designs the devs were working with!
If SEGA would put the AGES releases on PlayStation, I’d never have gotten a Switch.
I haven't been a fan of Nintendo since the 80s and a bit in the SNES area.
Nintendo is their own thing.
