Sony Boss Shuhei Yoshida Has Been Banned From Nintendo's Miiverse... Twice

First we learn that Sony Computer Entertainment President Shuhei Yoshida likes the Microsoft promotion of Phil Spencer, and now Engadget reports that Yoshida has been banned from the Miiverse... twice.

In a lengthy and entertaining profile on Yoshida, Engadget uncovered the fact that Yoshida -- who owns two of every system so that he can play Japanese and US releases -- has been a prolific Miiverse rulebreaker, resulting in two of his profiles being banned.

"He also says that he's been banned from Nintendo's Miiverse social network. Twice," Engadget reports. "'The first time was because I had my Twitter account in my profile and that's against the rules,' he says. 'The second time is because I wrote, 'I love PS.' You're not supposed to promote a commercial product in MiiVerse, so they correctly interpreted 'PS' as 'PlayStation,'' he says with a laugh."

Hey, rules are rules Mr. Yoshida. Luckily, he seems to have understood the error of his ways. But it is cool to see that Sony's big boss has a little fun trolling Nintendo in his free time.
