Xbox and Nintendo Spurred the Two Scariest Moments of Former PlayStation Exec Shuhei Yoshida's Career
Author : Penelope
Mar 06,2025
Shuhei Yoshida, former head of Sony Interactive Entertainment's Worldwide Studios, recounts two career-defining moments of fear, both courtesy of Nintendo and Xbox.
In a MinnMax interview, Yoshida described the Xbox 360's one-year head start on the PlayStation 3 as "very, very scary," fearing potential market share loss to early adopters.
However, the most significant competitive shock, he revealed, stemmed from Nintendo's announcement of Monster Hunter 4 as a 3DS exclusive. This was particularly jarring given the franchise's immense success on the PlayStation Portable, where it boasted two exclusive titles. The surprise was compounded by Nintendo's simultaneous $100 price drop on the 3DS, undercutting the PlayStation Vita.
Yoshida's recent retirement after over three decades at Sony allows for the sharing of these previously undisclosed anecdotes. He's also shared opinions on Sony's live service strategy and the lack of a Bloodborne remake or sequel.
