Because it's only cool when Microsoft does it? I'm confused.
This is pathetic on both companies ends. No one wins. Not even them when they stop to think about it. Which they won't. What is this, the NES days where Nintendo made it so you can only make games on their console or only publish a certain amount of games a year (Konami found a big loophole with that one!)?

And let's not forget other platforms usually get roped into this as well, most notably PC. Because it always seems to be "Realsed first on our console, then 6 months to 1 year later on all other platforms"
Seriously, it's like watching two kids throwing lego bricks at each other, and a stray block hits that one other kid in the corner
I mean it has been a statement for Switch to get all those middle budget remasters of lewd games from the Vita as a way to "own" Sony.
So stunning, so brave to root for nintendo to help pay for the life support of dying genres
It's not much of a statement when Sony doesn't care, and Nintendo's just doing their own thing and getting whatever games they can on the platform. This is nothing new for Nintendo, and they did a similar thing on the Wii when there was a lot of shovelware crap.
I don't care for the genre, but I wouldn't call it dying if it's making money fine on the switch, people still getting them on steam, or downloading them for free, if it's a free game.
What's dying from Nintendo? Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon are literally ALWAYS the biggest selling things whenever they release anything.
He's referring to the fan service or perverted visual novel games, that you find on Steam or online that are on Switch. Those aren't dying and neither are the Big N Seven either.
Yeah Horizon is one of those things where it seems like it would go "Oh hey, cool concept art" then you'd get a fairly gameplay heavy basis around that (which I'd say they kind of fumbled, it gets overly micromanagey at times), then the story would sort of vaguely exist and probably not go to ludicrous extremes trying to explain why tribal-punk humans are fighting robot dinosaurs because its such a ludicrous idea that it only reallys stands on its cool factor and everything you can add only makes it look goofier by trying to explain it.
Sony/GG of course, decided to go the opposite route.

Actually, I stand corrected. A lot of those IPs aren't dying. They're dead. Dead, I say!
Advanced Wars just got remakes of the first two games. Punch Out Wii is the best franchises has ever been, and there's really not much you can improve upon, aside from having a new cast characters. Or having the next one play more like Super Punch Out and the original arcade. I would still buy it. ARMS is pretty much a spiritual successor to Punch Out. Kid Icarus needs a remaster and port on the Switch. I will never play the 3DS game. Fast RMX is the new F-Zero now. Or Redout I & II.Um...

Former PlayStation Boss Says They 'Cancel So Many Games'
Shuhei Yoshida, the previous president of PlayStation, explained canceling all these games was done to “save” the devs

Microsoft was getting too big. Uk said stop it.
What does the United Kingdom get out of this? I exactly don't like the buyout either, but I find it funny they choose now, after long time to start this. Microsoft can't seem to catch a break with this.

If Sony wanted to figuratively be the “bigger” company, they wouldn’t allow themselves to feel threatened by Microsoft’s plans. They fought out of the hole they put themselves into during the onset of the 7th generation, and are sitting pretty nicely now regardless.
Maybe they need to start another tongue-in-cheek add campaign. It’d probably do more for them than doubling down on the third party hoarding tactics. It kinda makes them look more vulnerable than they really are, and we all know they’re only giving the bigger gorilla aka Microsoft more fuel by doing so.
Anything involving billion dollar acquisitions legalistically is going to take months to get anywhere, and as it’d be affecting markets internationally, the UK is just being proactive regarding competition regulations.

You cant sell consoles if you don't have hot games coming out of it, it's just common sense. I wonder why they still don't understand this after like 10 years of a whole lot of nothing.Meanwhile, within Microsoft...

And while gaming pass was successful initially, did they not realize profit wasn't gonna be nearly as much as console or game sales?
