Awesome response Zones. You're quite a debater.

That is my quote of the day.



Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.

You're a relatively new troll aren'y you?  I don't recall seeing you around before.

So what things exactly was Sony getting in order when they cancelled some big projects as you put it?

HOME, EyePet, Motion Controller, and probably many other unseen projects that we don't know about.

... And I assume you have a pretty bad memory, am I right?

Oh, and can you tell where did I troll???

So it was cancelled because of Eye Pet.  Good job contradicting yourself.

Yes.  I completely forgot about you because that was so forgettable.

Sucks to be me wasn't trying to get a rise out of me at all I suppose.

Go back to posting less than once a day.  Thanks.

Blame VGChartz 2.0 for not supporting Opera well.

You can believe in what you want, but as you can see in here, Eight Days had 63 people working on it internally. So if you want to believe that EyePet has that amount of people working on it, then go ahead and believe that.

1. Their biggest franchise is rated E for Everyone - The Gran Turismo games have sold more than 50 million copies, because they can reach a broad audience. This was only possible because Sony and Polyphony Digital didn't go down the road of mature gaming and refused to add hardcore features like drive-bys. -- Gran Turismo aint the only huge franchise... God of War, Last Guardian

2. Sackboy - This little guy is sooo cute. He has been the star of Sony's flagship title for the most recent holiday season which once again shows that Sony's priority aren't the hardcore gamers. Another game that is rated E for Everyone. -- Killzone 2, Infamous, Uncharted, God of War, Last Guardian

4. The face buttons of their controllers - Instead of using letters to name their buttons like it's commonly done on video game controllers, Sony decided to use geometrical objects. This without a doubt points to their target demographic being young kids. They can't read, but they can recognize triangles, circles, crosses and squares (or like I call them: Dreieg, Kreis, Kreiz, Kastl). Seriously, having a Kastl button is definitely not hardcore, it makes you sound like a five year old. -- my 3 year old reads 3 letter words

5. The new PSP bundle - If this doesn't make you question the hardcoreness of the PlayStation brand, then I don't know what to say anymore. You must be blind if you can't see what's going on. -- you want me to name other bundles?


Why didn't you address the 3rd point? 

Did you not have anything to say?

 

The reason i did not address is becauses i have not heard about Eight Days. Moreover just because of a single cancellation you have branded PS3  kiddies platform?? If they cancelled the "action bockbuster" it could very well be for numerous reasons - maybe Sony didnt think it would sell well... its their money that will be invested in the game not ours... they have every right to make that decision 

now you can go claiming that they made the wrong decision, but neither you nor me have any proof of its success or failure.

Sony has always been a all around brand.

If you look at this meter below


Hardcore                 All of the other        Casual            Kids

Microsoft                         Sony                                 Nintendo

Bam ! and there it is.

The OP needed to mention singstar.

Also, I think psrock's comment might be the highlight of the thread.

You should be glad that Rolstoppable added you in the first place. Soriku had been trying for months...
