Is this a principled buisness decision? Sony seems to be the dirty bastard of the bunch. I don't recall Nintendo or Sega ever attempting to steal thunder. Probably it's just that Nintendo gives me such a large gaming erection that I shrug off any unacceptable goings on.


Case in point: Dreamcast launch on Sept 9, 1999. Sony deliberately held off on the release of Final Fantasy VIII to coincide with the release of Dreamcast.


I'm sure there are others...

Nintendo: Majora's Mask pushed to same day as PS2 launch. Either that or for some Final Fantasy game, I don't remember.
