[foxbeldin]

well... was there any doubt?

 

[kuroneko0509]

lmao the reply after that

 

[Hayama Akito]

I was pretty sure this was already obvious.

 

[Skelter]

PenemN has some issues.

 

[Boke1879]

Jesus fucking Christ people Twitter are idiots

 

[nib95]

Obvious enough, but I suppose it's good he spelled it out for those…...a little slow to catch on.

 

[Crono27]

seem'd obvious to me..

 

[LewieP]

English: How does that work?

 

[chrislowe]

He is not the right person to say anything??

 

[HORRORSHØW]

lmao @ pen

 

[bobawesome]

lmao the reply after that

0-120 in no time at all.

 

[wonzo]

well duh

 

[RyoonZ]

Good, these title will find better audience on NX

 

[Crossing Eden]

The fact that this had to be clarified as well as that response...gamers..

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Holy smokes that second reply lmao

 

[GnawtyDog]

Pen likes wasting money but it's his money.

 

[Hedge]

What is wrong with that poster? What does it matter if it comes out on another console too?

 

[Nanashrew]

Yeah, exactly like many thought.

 

[Acquiescence]

Shuhei Yoshida explains what the definition of a "console debut" is to someone on Twitter.

 

[zxcv11223300xi]

Very obvious for me.

 

[Richie]

lmao the reply after that

That Shu gives that clown the time of the day is simultaneously confusing and hilarious.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Thank you, Captain Obvious.

 

[Rozart]

lmao @ pen

Cringing.

 

[Nikodemos]

lmao the reply after that

People really need a better grasp of English. "Console debut" and "Exclusive launch" mean the same thing.

 

[Loudninja]

Well yeah!

 

[GnawtyDog]

Rage will consume him that's why it "matters".

 

[Schrödinger's cat]

Stay classy, PenemN.

 

[Toki767]

He is not the right person to say anything??

Well his job is to look after first party studios, not third party deals.

 

[Durante]

I think the more interesting/unclear point is whether "console debut" means a game could potentially release on PC on the same date as on PS4.

People really need a better grasp of English. "Console debut" and "Exclusive launch" mean the same thing.

Actually, they potentially don't, in regard to the question I pose above.

 

[manzo]

Good, these title will find better audience on NX

On a Nintendo console? JRPGs?

 

[JoseLopez]

Geez gaf isn't any better either I mean look at that thread where the dude thought the wording was confusing.

 

[nbnt]

Hey Pen, if you're reading this, I want a picture too, you can find me @nbnt

 

[ReaperXL7]

Sometimes the people who claim the moniker of "gamer" are just pathetic imo...
How is "Console debut" not clear outside of spelling out which consoles it may or may not come to in the future?

In regards to NNK2 the only one id be shocked about is Xbox because of Level 5s history with Microsoft.

 

[Chubby Rain]

Here's hoping Ni No Kuni 2 & Nier come to other platforms just so PenemN smashes his PS4.

 

[foxbeldin]

People really need a better grasp of English. "Console debut" and "Exclusive launch" mean the same thing.

Could be a lot more confusing like, you know, "Coming holiday [insert year], exclusively on [insert console] "

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Smashing your console seems like a perfectly reasonable response to a game being ported to another platform.

 

[Oregano]

On a Nintendo console? JRPGs?

Check his post history.

Anyway good to see this clarified.

 

[Dovahking]

This.

That said it's a Japanese game from a developer with no prior PC titles so I wouldn't hold my breath for day and date.

 

[Nanashrew]

On a Nintendo console? JRPGs?

They're doing great on handhelds

 

[Chuck Norris]

Good, these title will find better audience on NX

Which titles

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Pen might be a serial killer.

 

[De_Legend]

Good, these title will find better audience on NX

Oh no..

Hide guys.

 

[Striek]

Lol.

Its funny because compared to like...a couple years ago companies are being incredibly transparent at these conferences. In the past everything would just be "coming to PS4" and no mention of anything else to let people assume full exclusivity until PR said otherwise.

 

[sora87]

I thought for sure they'd lock this down.

 

[Nikodemos]

Could be a lot more confusing like, you know, "Coming holiday [insert year], exclusively on [insert console] "

Well, it can be reasonably interpreted as "you may buy it this <holidayname>, on <consolename> or you may wait an unspecified amount of time until it becomes available on other platforms".

IIRC for purely exclusive games Sony use the "Only on Playstation" official label.

EDIT: As for PC, it seems (to me at least) Sony have taken a page out of the MS rulebook and considered it "not a console (not all the time, anyway)".

 

[oti]

Didn't Adam say "PS4 exclusive"? I mean in the end who cares but there was a weird discrepancy between what he said and what was written on the screen when the NNK2 logo appeared.

I would like to make an "Xbox dudebro gets NNK2 for Christmas" joke but aren't most dudebros on PS4 now anyway?

 

[DaSorcerer7]

NX here we come.

 

[koutoru]

Uh, duh?
