Xbox和Nintendo刺激了前Playstation Exechei Yoshida的職業生涯中最恐怖的兩個時刻

Shuhei Yoshida, former president of Worldwide Studios at Sony Interactive Entertainment, recently shared two particularly daunting moments from his extensive PlayStation career, both orchestrated by competitors Nintendo and Xbox.

吉田在與Minnmax的講話中，在PlayStation 3提前一年將Xbox 360的版本描述為“非常非常令人恐懼”。 This early launch put PlayStation at a significant disadvantage, as gamers eager for next-gen experiences might opt for the readily available Xbox 360, leaving PlayStation behind.

However, Yoshida pinpointed the Nintendo announcement of Monster Hunter 4 as a 3DS exclusive as the most shocking event. This came as a complete surprise, especially considering the immense success of the Monster Hunter franchise on the PlayStation Portable, which even boasted two exclusive titles. The situation worsened when Nintendo simultaneously slashed the 3DS price by $100, undercutting the PlayStation Vita.

"After launch, both Nintendo 3DS and Vita were $250 but they dropped $100," Yoshida recalled. “我當時想，'哦，我的上帝'。當時他們宣布了最大的遊戲……PSP上最大的遊戲是Monster Hunter 。這場比賽將僅在Nintendo 3DS上發行。我當時想，'哦，不。' That was the biggest shock."

Yoshida's retirement in January, after over three decades with Sony, has allowed him to share these previously undisclosed insights. His tenure saw him become a prominent figurehead for PlayStation, earning widespread fan appreciation. Since leaving Sony, Yoshida has also offered opinions on Sony's live service strategy and the lack of a Bloodborne remake or sequel.
