Pretty good read. I always wonder what caused Nintendo to break off the agreement.

Nasty little fight. It's somewhat unusual for Japanese companies to get into full-out feuds like that, from what I understand.

Great read 🙂

I knew about Sony and Nintendo breaking off because FFVII was supposed to be for SNES.

Hmm... I get it.

That's why Sony is the evil corporation it is. They're just a sad little kid that got it's feelings hurt when ti was young.

... and then nearly took Nintendo completely out of the game.

Nintendo lost a good deal of market share by leaving the door open for Sony.

Nice read. :thumbsup:

I knew some of the story, but nothing beats hearing the story from the perspective of the people involved.

Sony has been around since the 50's...

Excuse me, I knew that, I meant SCEI, SCEA, SCEE, etc.

That article almost jedi mind-tricked me into thinking Sony was a company to cheer for. Thankfully, I'n currently playing my PS3 and was able to snap out of it.

I did like the ending to the article though.

The author should make it a two part series. This would be the glorious asscension to the top of the video game industry.

The next should be "Making the Playstation Network: The Bare Minimum".

Highlighted in the seriesn finale would be a detailed look at one of the biggest oversights in any playstation's history.

EDIT:

Tools some comments out in the interest of peaceful coexistance with Sojy fans.
