The gaming industry is an ever-evolving thing, we all know that. The twist is that the companies that last the longest are the ones that not only “see the trends” and attempt to move in line with them, but also know “what they’re best at” and do their best to please their loyal fanbase. Right now, there are a LOT of companies that DON’T do that, and they pay the price for it. Nintendo may not be perfect, as we say somewhat often on a certain podcast of ours, but they are better than pretty much everyone else at doing what is “truly best for their fanbase.” Don’t believe us? Then how about you listen to the former head of PlayStation?
That former head is Shawn Layden. He’s been doing a lot of interviews recently, including one with HipHopGamer, and while not everything he says is truly “kosher,” when it came to talking about The Big N, even he couldn’t deny how much better they are at connecting with their fanbase and building things through them:
High praise indeed, and when you look at the state of Microsoft and Sony right now, especially when you consider how their fanbases...
