That's exactly what was said. I don't make it up.
Well yeah influences are industry wide. But seeing how closely Microsoft worked with Sega it's not a stretch for some to feel that Xbox was a spiritual successor to Dreamcast. What's wrong with that??
Sony worked closely with Nintendo before the ps1. Is the ps1 a "spiritual successor to snes"?
Not the same thing. Sony and Nintendo didn't go through with their Snes/PSX console. Sony ended up going their way and Nintendo theirs. The N64 and PSX were two completely different consoles in interface and control as well as hardware.
Yup.Same as Xbox and dreamcast
Yup, one man working on a few games for Sega is the same as an executive halting the production of one console and then jumping ship and creating a brand new one while the existing company supports them with their exclusive catalogue of games.Mark Cerney worked for sega first, PS2 is just a upgraded Saturn
Peter Moore "halted the prediction of dreamcast"?Yup, one man working on a few games for Sega is the same as an executive halting the production of one console and then jumping ship and creating a brand new one while the existing company supports them with their exclusive catalogue of games.
nikka the man said it himself. From the horse's mouth:Peter Moore "halted the prediction of dreamcast"?
OH wow I need to see this. There are plenty of Nintendo Exclusives on Sony?? You realize the difference between Sega going third party and making EXCLUSIVES for the Original Xbox at the time is not the same as games being later made for other consoles because of say a timed deal or whatever??And where there not plenty of Nintendo/sega exclusives on Sony consoles?
.
Games like final fantasy, metal gear, yakuza, are synonymous with playstation consoles, sure they aren't all deved by Sony, but nobody lists nfl gameday as the reason they loved psx.
The major difference was that the sony/Nintendo deal fell flat, Nintendo didn't want to use their ideas, and didn't.That's news to me, had never read that story.
But "playstation" started as a Nintendo add on console. And plenty of integral execs worked on both sides.
"The first conceptions of the PlayStation date back to 1986 between a joint venture between Nintendo and Sony.[11] Nintendo had been attempting to work with disc-based technology since the Famicom; their product was known as the 'CD-ROM/XA' - which acted as an extension of CD-ROMs that allowed for simultaneous access to compressed audio and video data on the discs, however the medium had problems.[11] The Famicom Disk System's rewritable magnetic discs could be easily erased (thus leading to a lack of durability), and they lacked any sort of copy protection, thus were vulnerable to piracy. Consequently, when details of CD-ROM XA (which had neither of those problems) were released to the public, Nintendo was interested.[12][13] Simultaneously developed by Sony and Philips, CD-ROM/XA was an extension of the CD-ROM format that combines compressed audio, visual, and computer data, allowing all to be accessed simultaneously. Nintendo approached Sony to develop a CD-ROM add-on, tentatively titled the "SNES-CD".[14] A contract was signed, and work began.[12] Nintendo's choice of Sony was due to a prior dealing: Ken Kutaragi, the person who would later be dubbed "The Father of the PlayStation",[15] was the individual who had sold Nintendo on using the Sony SPC-700 processor for use as the eight-channel ADPCM sound set in the Super Famicom/SNES console through an impressive demonstration of the processor's capabilities.[16]
Kutaragi was nearly fired by Sony because he was originally working with Nintendo on the side without Sony's knowledge (while still employed by Sony).[17] It was then-CEO, Norio Ohga, who recognised the potential in Kutaragi's chip, and in working with Nintendo on the project. Ohga kept Kutaragi on at Sony, and it was not until Nintendo cancelled the project that Sony decided to develop its own console.[18]"
They also worked with sega.
Sony Almost Joined Forces with SEGA for the PlayStation
"Sony worked closely with SEGA’s engineers in North America, coming up with some specifications for an optical-based hardware system. And this resulted in a trip to Sony’s headquarters in Tokyo, where PlayStation creator Ken Kutaragi had a proposal for Kalinske. “He said that [the hypothetical system] was great, and as we all lose money on hardware, let's jointly market a single system – the SEGA/Sony hardware system – and whatever loss that we make, we split that loss,” he explained"
Games like final fantasy, metal gear, yakuza, are synonymous with playstation consoles, sure they aren't all deved by Sony, but nobody lists nfl gameday as the reason they loved psx.
So it seems
PSX is just a genesis and Nes spiritual successor
nikka the man said it himself. From the horse's mouth:
We had a tremendous 18 months. Dreamcast was on fire – we really thought that we could do it. But then we had a target from Japan that said we had to make x hundreds of millions of dollars by the holiday season and shift x millions of units of hardware, otherwise we just couldn’t sustain the business. So on January 31st 2001 we said Sega is leaving hardware. We were selling 50,000 units a day, then 60,000, then 100,000, but it was just not going to be enough to get the critical mass to take on the launch of PS2. Somehow I got to make that call, not the Japanese. I had to fire a lot of people, it was not a pleasant day.
Peter Moore Killed The Dreamcast, Fired A Lot Of People
Dude killed the dreamcast.
OH wow I need to see this. There are plenty of Nintendo Exclusives on Sony?? You realize the difference between Sega going third party and making EXCLUSIVES for the Original Xbox at the time is not the same as games being later made for other consoles because of say a timed deal or whatever??
But about this "plenty" of Nintendo games on Sony, show me them. I'm starving for games maybe I can get some Smash Bros or Mario Kart running on my PS Vita.
I know you're going to say some stupid shyt and spin this on some "But how come Sega making games for Sony now?
Save your post man, this is another discussion.
