Miiverse Troll

Shuhei Yoshida, the president of Sony Computer Entertainment’s Worldwide Studios owns a Wii U, and as you can see in the image above, is using Miiverse to demonstrate where his loyalties lie. But of course, it’s nothing but a bit of fun, so it gave me a chuckle.

  • ninpalk

    He’s clearing jealous of the Wii U’s and 3DS’s success over Vita! :D

    • http://twitter.com/powerclaw1 Powerclaw1

      If this was on Miiverse, I’d “yeah” it.

    • Tails the Foxhound

      Screenshot says it’s in the Nintendo Land community. It should still be there, unless of course Nintendo rage-bombed his post. But that would be petty.

    • DallasDiatorei

      I think he meant the comment he replied to. Not the one posted by Sony.

    • Tails the Foxhound

      That would make sense. Sometimes the ol’ brain just doesn’t work. :P

    • Diamond Ammo

      why would he be jelly when the vita is far superior than the 3ds? Im pretty sure he knows most of 3ds sales is kids

    • J-Biz

      He’d be jelly because its making more money and he owns a business? The PS3 was superior to the Wii in terms of power and capabilities. But the Wii still sold 10x more consoles and made Nintendo a higher profit than Sony, that is all they care about.

    • Diamond Ammo

      I liked wii better than ps3 and 360

      gamecube better than ps2 and xbox

      n64 better than ps1, but those days are gone and nintendo has totally lost it

      and what kinda IDIOT goes by sales to say if a device is superior? A ferrari is better than your car but it sales alot less! Thats because its a premium car and not alot can afford it.( Vita is a much lower price tag but still, you get what I mean)

    • CBNS

      Vita & Ferrari? Common things are that they both have power but they freeze (Ferrari needs cold temperature for that) and there is no enought space inside for all your stuff? (Vita has too big games for so small memory cards)

    • CBNS

      Ferrari gives you superior ride if all roads you drive are in good condition. Vita still needs more good roads (excellent games) to take over 3DS.

    • Diamond Ammo

      vita already has a better library of HARDCORE games than 3ds, if your a hardcore gamer(pro race driver) you’ll appreciate the vita more.

    • ninpalk

      Diamond Ammo, Go home, You’re drunk.

      I don’t simply see hardcore games as realistic games, fighing-heavy, or bloody, gory games. Most people ask: What is a real hardcore game? A game that is hardcore is a game that matches one or more of these descriptions:
      A: a game you’re addicted to and can play for unnaturally long sessions each day. (ex. Pokemon, Skyrim, Final Fantasy, etc.)
      B: a game you play competetively with others (sometimes to tournament level like MLG). (ex. Smash Bros, CoD, Starcraft, etc.)
      C: a game that really challenges your ability, pushing your skills to their limits. (ex. most arcade games, F-Zero, etc.)
      So Nintendo does cater to the hardcore audience in multiple respects. They always have, right along side their competitors.
      The 3DS has games you can be addicted to (Animal Crossing), games you can play competitively (Mario Kart 7, Kid Icarus Uprising), and games that can test your skills (Pushmo, Crashmo).

    • Diamond Ammo

      vita will never take over 3ds, they have different audiences, 3ds has the casuals and kids and vita has the hardcore gamers, ofcourse the 3ds sells more because casuals are a bigger audience,

      vita is it’s own thing, it’s not a smartphone or a family friendly handheld, it’s a ps3 quality handheld you can take anywhere

    • bhillx84

      I own a Vita and love it but to claim its a handheld ps3 is bull crap. Yeah its got great graphics but not ps3 quality

    • Diamond Ammo

      fanboy is denial eh? Thats the worst kind.

      wipeout,uncharted,need for speed,fifa,little big planet,modnation racers,street fighter x tekken, dead or alive 5,killzone,assassins creed,ps allstars are ps3 quality.

    • BellaKazza

      Dude, YOU are a fanboy!

    • Mark95

      The Vita might be a “console quality handheld”, but it doesn’t have “console quality games”.

    • http://profiles.google.com/neotechni Techni Myoko

      yes it does

    • Diamond Ammo

      my 16 gig memory card holds alot of games. only uncharted is the one so far that hogs up some space( 3 gigs) but the rest I have are only 1-2 gigs.

    • anonymous

      How is it far superior? The 3DS has tons more great games than Vita, which has almost no good games at all. And if you look at the sales, the 3DS is completely OWNING Vita in that regard. So all-in-all, Vita is far inferior than 3DS.

    • Diamond Ammo

      I liked wii better than ps3 and 360

      gamecube better than ps2 and xbox

      n64 better than ps1, but those days are gone and nintendo has totally lost it

      vita has a better library, currently, have you even tried the vita? No, you are too scared to see the truth for yourself.

      and sony has said that there is alot of unannounced vita games so who knows what the vita might get? What I know is nitnendo fanboys will cry and start getting into denial when those games are announced

      On this website a nintendo fanboy told me that the eshop is BETTER than the psn store, so I dont think I can take anyone seriously on this website ever again,

    • Ziggy

      Even Yoshida doesn’t want arguments like this
      https://twitter.com/yosp/status/275760694912237572

    • Diamond Ammo

      so basicly YOU are trying to tell me(or admit) that the vita is out of 3ds’s league since the vita is far better? I agree, it is apples to oranges, vita deserves better competition than 3ds, more like premium smartphones like the galaxy note 2 which rivals in vita’s specs.

    • Diamond Ammo

      nintendo used to like hardcore gamers but now they do not care. Thats why they are irritating me because I like the company but their style nowadays puts me off.

    • xavier

      what the hell dose hard core even mean?

      I lke platformers alot so dose that mean nintendo 3ds is better than the vita i like fighting more dose that mean its better than the vita?

      people use sales because if it was utter garbage nobody would want it anyway im not saying vita is bad i really aint its better socially and graphically (but its not good like the ps3 like some fags would say its somewhere between ps2 and ps3) but regardless first party titles like 3d land and kid icarus are not lazy like implying they put care into those so i dont understand ur hate for nintendo. I want sony to make a cheap system that cost 200$ but it seems they just dont care about the gamer any more. see what i mean it just comes off as ignorant.

    • Lord Infamous

      The PS Vita has failed.

      It has NO Resident Evil, while the 3DS has 3, with 2 out now.

      It has NO Monster Hunter, while the 3DS has 2.

      It has NO good RPG’s, while the 3DS is booming.

      it has NO good digital exclusives, while the 3DS is packing.

      It has NO IOS ports, while the 3DS keeps getting Angry Birds & Speed X & Monster Shooter & so fort.

      It has NO Kingdom Hearts.

      It has NO Final Fantasy exclusives, while the 3DS has at least 3 with 1 of them out now.

      It has NO Shinobi.

      ModNation Racers sucked in comparison to Mario Kart 7.

      It’s shooters are all less better then a 1st Party Nintendo Shooter: Kid Icarus Uprising.

      And my European PS Vita would freeze all the time, until I got Wi-Fi 2 months ago and did a Firmware Update.

      The PS Vita will go the GameGear way.

      And it’s still Standard-Definition, because Sony is cheap, while Cell Phone companies make HD pixel count Smartphones releasing in 2013 for $200.

      If you think cellphones are comparible to game systems then you are even more retarded then I thought you were.

    • http://www.facebook.com/AJ.Fowl Andrew Chambers

      Why can’t people compare them? Most smartphones put handheld systems to shame with their specs. All they really need are good control options and Sony has something to worry about. The xperia play was a great idea, but underpowered and unsupported by its own creator. Have you seen the OUYA?

    • Willie the Kid

      The 3DS has a duo core 1.8 GHz CPU & a 400 MHz Micro GPU that produces an additional 15.3 million polygons to add to the CPU production of polygons & 3-Axis Motion Sensors & 2.4 GHz Wireless & displays 3 different 60 fps video images at once & has Virtual Surround Sound Speakerphones & 6 speaker output earphone jack & infrared wireless (IR) & Auto-Stereoscopic 3D & StreetPass (within 100 feet & better then Samsung Galaxy 3) & a 3D Camera that records 3D videos in 60 fps & it’s RAM is more powerful and efficient then most 512 MB RAMs & over 90 shader cores.

      And then there’s the eShop games (up to 8 GB each).

      And you can stream 3D 60 fps videos online (like in the eShop & Hulu Plus App).

    • BellaKazza

      Frankly I don’t give a crap about specs, it is not here nor there. The GameBoy is better for gaming then an iPhone 5! Cellphones that have cheap two bit “games” on them are no where near comparible to the true gaming experiences the 3DS has to offer and to a lesser extent, the Vita.
      The Ouya is going to allow me to play crappy phone and tablet games on my TV, woop de freaking doo! If Android or Apple want to compete in the gaming industry then they must make a system that is designed for playing games and then all the other filler features come second. Cellphones with sad versions of Tetris will never compete with real gaming systems.

    • http://www.facebook.com/AJ.Fowl Andrew Chambers

      I would never replace my dedicated hand held games with just a phone/tablet, but that doesn’t mean they’re not becoming competitive. And who said I was talking about “cheap two bit “games” on them are no where near comparible to the true gaming experiences”? I’m talking about games like Dead Space, Carnivores, and GTA. Any game that fully utilizes the OUYA’s specs won’t run on anything but the best tablets. Have you seen what the Unity engine can do on those things? This bullcrap about how Android will never be a liable gaming platform is just ignorant. Android is a fun version of Linux, and if Linux can do great gaming, even getting Steam, then so can Android, just on a slightly smaller scale.

      Oh, and Minecraft is a lot more likely to come to the OUYA then Windows 8

    • BellaKazza

      Dead Space is good, I’ll give you that, but it would play better on the 3DS or Vita, only because of the buttons.
      Look, iOS and Android can become competitive in the industry, they just need a gaming specific console or system, the Ouya looks good and will be good if they use it right. Otherwise it’ll just be Modern Combat on the big screen. I said that *cellphones* will never be a liable gaming platform, never ever. I’m worried that the Ouya will not be pulled off right though.
      And if Ouya gets Steam….. I’m buying one on launch.

    • http://www.facebook.com/AJ.Fowl Andrew Chambers

      Well, it’ll have steam, but it won’t be able to run everything. Half life 1 and 2, and probably team fortress 2 with lower settings. How do I know it’ll have steam you ask? Simple, the OUYA is meant to be modified, and since it’s not locked I should be able to easily install Ubuntu on there (hell even Ubuntu for Android if I get lost). That alone makes the OUYA worth it because I can attach a wireless keyboard and mouse and have a full computer on a little box hooked up to my tv. The Wii U browser is awesome, but it doesn’t have anything on chromium on unbuntu. Oh, almost forgot my point, steam is in beta on ubuntu linux, and games run faster and more efficiently then on windows. And have you seen the version of chrome on Android. It’s a great time to be a linux fan. Knowing the luck of linux users, the world is going to end this year…

    • anonymous

      You liked Wii better than PS3 and 360 and you are complaining that Ninetndo isn’t as “hardcore” as it used to be? Wow.
      If we’re talking functionality, then sure, Vita has more power than 3DS, but it isn’t FAR SUPERIOR. The 3DS has a lot of functionality that Vita lacks.

    • BellaKazza

      You are the one not to be taken seriously, after all, you are the fanboy.
      And while it is true that the GameCube and N64 were better then the other consoles back then, the Wii is hardly comparable to the PS3 and 360, the tech and games are just too different.
      The Wii U however, just does not have competition right now. And the eShop right now is better then the XBLA and PSN. Heck, the interface of the currant Wii U is better then the dashboard of the 360 and the…. interface of PSN.
      The Vita still fails in comparison to the 3DS, go cry, you can be broke and have your Ferrari, I’ll still have food on my table and a trusty Chevy.

      Hey Diamond, ever considered marrying your Vita if you love talking about it so much? :P

    • Nintyfan10

      The Vita is still better hardware, and feature wise.

    • BlackAssassin

      Vit is a flop so shut up, anyway Wii U is superior to Vita and PS3 so Nintendo wins.

    • BlackAssassin

      *Vita

    • Kaizar

      The Wii U has a 2 GB RAM & an “IBM POWER 7″ CPU & a 800 MHz clocked Radeon High-Definition GPGPU & 486 shader cores & way more GFLOPs then you can imagine.

      And the polygon count is anywhere from 500 million to 1 billion polygons.

      And it does 2 different 1080p images at 60 fps each dispite streaming one of them with the home console doing all of the work……..the PS3 can only do 2 different 720p images at 24 fps each, within the system.

      So what are the PS Vita specs again? With its one 60 fps 5XXp image.

      Even the 3DS does 3 different 60 fps 240p images at once & has over 90 shader cores & so fort while downloading over 300 MB of 3D videos for the “Nintendo Video” App and new firmware and so fort in the background while you are gaming with its GPU producing an additional 15.3 million polygons to what ever amount of polygons it’s CPU produces.

      WE THE BEST! FOREVER!

    • hi

      Honestly its kinda sad to see you’re so happy the wiiU is more powerful than the PS3,oh um maybe cause it been 7 years its about time lol, what a stupid argument to make. And BTW some of the info in your comment is false,such the gamepad screen dosent out put 1080p all your comment shows is what a fanboy you are. Price is what keeps the vita from being in full potential

    • Kaizar

      I said the Home Console outputs 1 of its 2 1080p images to the GamePad to receive and that the console does all the work in streaming it to the GamePad.

      And I didn’t say anything about being happy……I was saying that both “Nintyfan10″ & you are both giving false info in your comments for saying that the PS Ita has better Hardware & Features then the Wii U.

      The Wii U has NFC & Geomagnetic sensor & asymetrical gaming & so fort, over what little features the Ps Vita has in comparison.

      So please stop saying false things about the PS Vita having better Hardware & Features………….otherwise I will assume that both you & “Ninthfan10″ are both Sony fanboys / Nintendo haters.

      MINT BERRY CRUNCH!

    • http://www.facebook.com/Blasterfx5 Andre Xak Thompson

      He wasn’t talking anything aboyut the wiiu. Just 3ds. Which the vita shows it’s betterness (is that a word?) in the games. If you play any game that is on both you can clearly see the vita’s better graphical capabilities. The Vita has bigger space for games, and has much more power. Also, features he meant things like the trophy system, the online system, the back touchscreen and things like that. Being a fanboy isn’t a good thing, nintendo, xbox or sony. I personally like whatever is good. Although that usually falls under ninty or sony.

    • Kaizar

      The Vita only has 4 & 8 GB cartridges.

      The 3DS has 2 & 4 & 8 GB cartridges.

      The 3DS resistive touch screen is way more accurate & precise then the PS Vita capacitive touch screen.

      Plus you can use any physical object on the 3DS touch screen, like an eraser & so fort.

      The PS Vita camera frame rate is only 30 fps, but the 3DS camera frame rate for video recording & 3D AR is 60 fps which is much higher then what it does for 3D photo taking which is only 30 fps with current firmware.

      Plus the 3DS already has way more better graphics then the Wii in everyway and gets an additional 15.3 million polygons from its GPU, which further buries the Wii…..so how much more better graphics do you need for current Gen handheld.

      I mean both 3DS & PS Vita fall in between the Wii & 360, so it’s not giving 3rd party developers enough difference to care about in both specs and therefore graphics.

      And they both have Standard-Definition screens………I mean even the DS Lite screen was equvilant to HD because of its smallness for that Standard-Definition display.

      And for some reason the 3DS does more in post-processing its photos.

      And the Web Browsers might as well be the same, but the 3DS has the additional site viewing of being able to go to 3D websites and there’s a lot of 3D websites, including 3D porn sites.

      I agree about the good stuff usually falling under Nintendo & Playstation,but it seems the only good thing Sony had was e PS2.

      Both the Wii & PS3 have only had up to 10 games each that I care about.

      But both the Wii U & 3DS seem to be making up for that and then some.

      The game library of both current & upcoming games speak for themselves.

      Just check out Wikipedia list of games for both handhelds.

      THIRD POWER!

      “The PS Vita camera frame rate is only 30 fps”

      120 fps actually.

    • T.I.

      No camera records at 120 fps.

      Monochromatic cameras records video at 24 fps for physical & 30 fps for digital.

      Stereoscopic cameras records videos at 60 fps per camera in-sinc, but some physical stereoscopic cameras at 48 fps while other physical stereoscopic cameras are at 60 fps, but all digital stereoscopic cameras record at 60 fps (once again, that’s per camera in-sinc).

      You don’t know anything about cameras.

      “And it does 2 different 1080p images at 60 fps”

      no it doesnt. It does 1. The gamepad is 480p not 1080p

    • Lord Infamous

      No, the GamePad is 1080p pixel count.

      And the Wii U streams 2 different 720p video images to 2 GamePad (1 image per GamePad) controllers at once (60 fps each) when you use 2 GamePad in a single game.

      But when you only use GamePad controller it’s one 1080p image at 60 fps.

    • Willie the Kid

      It’s way more powerful then the Wii in everyway.

      Plus the 3DS 128 MB FCRAM is 12 MB more powerful then the PS Vita 512 MB DRAM,and the 3DS TAM is also way more efficient then all the others (excluding the Wii U.

      The 3DS has more shader cores & GFLOPs then all other video game systems (excluding the Wii U).

      The 3DS displays 3 different 60 fps video images at once while downloading everything SpotPass & StreetPass in the background.

      The PS Vita CPU can only handle 1 video image at 60 fps at a time and can’t download anything while gaming.

      And Resident Evil: Revelations looks more better then any Vita game I own by a little, and they are making a new Resident Evil 3DS game with even much greater graphics.

      Plus the 3DS game data has way shorter source codes for storage capacity for games.

      And they both have up to 8 GB cartridges.

      And they both have up to 32 GB cards for storage.

      The only time Sony was more powerful then Nintendo is:

      PS3 vs. Wii

      PSP vs. DS

      So far that it for Sony having more power in Specs.

      Plus Nintendo used a Nintendo CPU so they could use a way more powerful CPU at a lesser cost still.

      But Sony used a 3rd Party CPU (middle man) which cost more money for less power.

      Next time you should learn about manufacturing & cost & affordability & retailing.
