Sony Worldwide Studios President, Shuhei Yoshida, purchased a Wii U console to see what the hype is all about. Earlier this week he posted his NNID, yosp, so he could discuss the Wii U experience with his twitter followers. In this digital age, I would consider this fairly commonplace. What better way to find out what the fans like or dislike, so that the next gen console can cater to that feedback.
What is unusual is that Yoshida decided to have a little fun with Nintendo by posting the picture above on the Nintendo Land Community discussion forums in the Miverse. In this light hearted trolling attempt, he simply stated that he loves the PS.
What are your thoughts on the post, is it childish of him to post this on a competing consoles message board, or is it just a bit of friendly rivalry?
Share your perspective. Keep it thoughtful, welcoming and on topic.
The Nintendo Land-board is not a place for PlayStation propaganda, he should keep that on Twitter.
I think it's all in good fun. It's cool to see little spats of rivalry between companies. Having rivals, and seeing what people like.. and then improving on that to make an even better product is great.
Besides… he may say he <3's PS… but his money/actions bought himself a WiiU.. Hmm..? 🙂
I've always liked Yosp, he's great fun on twitter and really does love Playstation.
This is awesome. It's just a nice little jab without being obnoxious or rude. PLUS, there's something exceptionally ironic about posting how much you love PS on a competitor's platform.
If there was more to it, or an active attack on Nintendo, then I'd feel differently. But this is actually pretty cool.
It's fine as long as it doesn't happen all the time.
I think that it's ridiculous to even have this up for debate!
As a fan of both companies, this brings a bright little smile to my charcoal-blackened heart.
Yeah that's good for a chuckle. Anyone who is offended by this needs to lighten up a little.
I think it’s all in good fun. 🙂
Haha nice. I sure hope people aren't getting too upset about this. I mean, really? 300-350 dollars just to insult Nintendo? I think that's kind of a ridiculous idea.
I really love to see rivalries such as this! Especially in an age where people are so infatuated with their systems that they love to bite the heads off of people who are fans of another gaming company. It's nice to see the developers keeping their heads on their shoulders and having some fun together while they both make some great games and further the gaming fields in their own ways.
Now…I wonder if Mr. Iwata will be purchasing the next generation Playstation…
Yeah, this is all good humor. Nothing to get butthurt about.
all in good fun. And fun is what it's all about really. Although I think that Sony will probably go and make their own Miiverse equivalent.
