"He runs a developer there and he's worked with both Sony Computer Entertainment and Nintendo over the years, and he says that what he respects the most about Nintendo is the incredible continuity they have in the form of a core group of individuals that has now worked together for over 30 years.

"Well, we on the PlayStation side of the business have only about 20 years together now, but I'm really looking forward to the next decade or two with Shu [Yoshida], Andy [House] and the other amazing talents of Sony Computer Entertainment, and I think by the end of it we'll even have my friend in Kyoto telling everyone how our values - held strongly over a great period of time - had such an influence over the world of games."

"The three musketeers are back," he said, referring to the way Sony Computer Entertainment had appointed his colleagues Andrew House and Yoshida to senior positions in recent years, while allowing him to develop the PS4 itself.

"One of the small results of that - but huge for me - was that it provided a further boost to the engagement... the policies of engagement with game developers around the world."

That nucleus of "amazing" personnel, he said, is what he hopes will lead people to compare Sony's impact to Nintendo's in decades to come.

It's nice to want things.

I watched that Gamelab stream. It was a really great talk by him.

Sony's been chasing that dream since the PS1.

It's a nice dream, and hell we got some pretty good games out of it for this long.

Strickland · Jun 27, 2013

I already prefer Sony to Nintendo.

Manmademan · Jun 27, 2013

I think Nintendos spot is unique thanks to rebuilding the industry post crash, and having the market to themselves in the 80s, but Sony will probably be viewed favorably

Just pulling it from the stream, the way he said it doesn't come across in words on a page.

That would require them to pump money into more mascots.

Sony's already impacted the industry just as much as Nintendo IMO. Granted, Nintendo has the loveable iconic characters to go with their image.

Either way, Sony + Nintendo = great gaming, wouldn't have it any other way.

Yeah, seriously. Just want Microsoft to leave... pls.

Garryk · Jun 27, 2013

I really don't think 20 years from now people are going to be nostalgic about Kratos and Nathan Drake like they are Mario and Donkey Kong.

LeBoef · Jun 27, 2013

i thought they are already like nintendo. arent these nintendo things?

LeleSocho · Jun 27, 2013

First they have to build good first party studios, Naughty Dog only cannot be enough.
Edit: I totally misinterpreted the topic, my bad.

People are just going to tear this comment down into console war bullshit, but honestly, this is a good attitude to have. He's essentially saying that the playstation brand needs consistency in good talent.

Canis lupus · Jun 27, 2013

I thought they already did.

I don't know if I would equate the two. The PlayStation did do two major things which is to make the industry more thrid-party oriented and use a loss-leader strategy.

Nintendo had to "revive" gaming consoles and stuff and pioneered 3D gaming with the N64. I don't really think any company can really match their legacy because they laid the groundwork for many things.

Just keep walking the path you're walking, Sony, you're going there. You're doing good.

miksar · Jun 27, 2013

Sony is already greater than Nintendo. Cerny is a more important figure for the industry than Miyamoto and Yokoi. PS2 is the best console ever, PS4 is going to be the best console ever. Games like The Last of Us are among the best and most influential video games.

Harlock · Jun 27, 2013

If Mark Cerny let grow a beard will be the New Jesus.

SuperSonic1305 · Jun 27, 2013

Oh look people didn't read the OP

The Boat · Jun 27, 2013

Cerny's a cool guy, it's rare to see someone in his position talking about the competition like this.

StuBurns · Jun 27, 2013

He just meant he hopes the stability of Nintendo will be something people can say about PlayStation. Basically he's saying he intends to stay and run core development for the next ten years.

Karsticles · Jun 27, 2013

I respect a man who gives respect where it is due.

Yellowflashdude · Jun 27, 2013

Cerny's the new Shigeru Miyamato!

I keed! don't kill me.

Aureon · Jun 27, 2013

They've already done it, hardware-wise.
Software, eh. Crash and Spyro had that more mileage in them.

Comparing PSASBR to SSB, they're a long way off.

Dave Meltzer · Jun 27, 2013

I doubt they want to relive this part of Nintendo's "legacy".

They've had a very big impact on the gaming industry, but it's very different to Nintendo's.

Remember when Nintendo ran all their franchises in the ground? Good times...

They won't match it, but they'll have had an impact for sure.

Playstation legacy is a LIL more than first party software tho

I can't tell if you're serious or being sarcastic... Nah, has to be sarcasm.

This is deadpan comedy right?

God damn Cerny, stop saying all the right things... I can't afford a PS4 this year... ARRRGH.

Some time in the next 20 years

I can see this thread is being turned into a fanboy war thread already. Cool your jets Nintendo fanboys.
