Why did Mikami hate PS2 and betray Sony for Nintendo?

>> No.10785663

PS2 was too weak to run REmake and RE0.

Money. A big fat check signed Nintendo that probably came with a nice bonus for him.

...The GC REs were Nintendo exclusivity deal. I thought everyone knew that

Because he was paid. The entire RE4 Microsoft saga shows that Mikami only ever cared about cash bonuses nothing else. Nintendo offered a deal so good and cuts so high for him even Microsoft though it was outrageous. I want to remind everyone that Clover devs were making fun of him and his retarded beheading claims in God Hand

The most based thing Mikami ever did was tell the world that Sony's hardware is cheap garbage.

Explain

Maybe some japanese devs could foresee what Sony would end up like? I mean disregarding Japan completely and becoming a californian company.
People like Kamiya (Mikami's protegee) and Itagaki (Kamina's rival) also both hate Sony and like Nintendo.

You do know he directed God Hand right? And that the game has a ton of puns and references to a lot of shit? Retard, he's poking fun at himself.

The PlayStation 2 was notoriously difficult to develop for in it's early days. Mikami complained about the lack of proper documentation and development kits, and knew that Sony was taking the piss, and did so in an attempt at vendor lock-in.

He hate PS2 so much that he make one of the best exclusive of the system
