      People at the time said Sony President Norio Ohga took this as a deep personal insult -- Nintendo saying "We've decided to go a different direction with Phillips instead" without even telling him They called it a Japanese honor culture thing but honestly it's a universal thing

      Anyway that's why Ohga went out of his way to create Sony Computer Entertainment He founded a whole-ass company just to get revenge on Yamauchi for making him look like an ass in public Putting together everything they'd built for Nintendo they still owned and making the PS1

      Nintendo created their own worst and most powerful competitor in one fell swoop because of their high-handed arrogant bullshit and even today they're still struggling to catch up from that

      I dunno. I don't think Nintendo is doing that badly nowadays. (I thought the Switch was a big hit. Plus they still they still kill on 1st party releases.)

      All I mean is that the days when "Nintendo" was synonymous with "video game" are long over, and while that was probably inevitable, people at Nintendo are probably still kicking themselves over how it happened

      Yeah they definitely don't dominate the game landscape anymore. Incidentally, I think another big blunder for Nintendo was that they didn't embrace "mature" gaming they way Sony did.

      Yeah the bizarre thing here is how Nintendo's legendary prissiness, that ignited so many gamer outrages when we were schoolchildren - no blood in Mortal Kombat! - has been not only fully adopted by a bunch of Kids These Days but actively rebranded as "left wing"

      Which is something @Nymphomachy has talked about, this, among other things, bizarre confidence that you can build a "No explicit sex or graphic violence uwu" subculture that WON'T turn out to be viciously anti-queer in the end too

      It's also kind of bizarrely hypocritical when it comes to Nintendo history, since the last idea Mr. Yamauchi had to revive the ailing family business before he stumbled into electronic entertainments was "love hotels" aimed at busy businessmen with mistresses

      As this article points out, even the playing card company wasn't as wholesome as they pretend, they succeeded by becoming an exclusive contractor with yakuza-run casinos, and sold an extensive line of pornographic pinup cardshttps://kotaku.com/the-nintendo-theyve-tried-to-forget-gambling-gangster-5784314 …

      It is so funny thinking that Nintendo has a much more legit historical connection with the culture of "Vegas" and "the mob" than the poseurs at Rockstar Games
