Well that's what I mean. Versus XIII is a big exclusive to give an example. Should Sony pay to keep FF XIV or other FF XIII spinoffs exclusive? Imo, they should. And don't you guys think they should investing money in Japanese studios? The only good games SCEJ is bringing us is GT 5, Siren and White Knight Chronicles (as a 2nd party game) while SCEE and SCEA are making a shitload of games (SCEE is even trying to attract casuals with SingStar and Buzz). |
I don't think they should, they should only pay if SE came to them and said hey Sony listen, we are going 360/Wii exclusive unless you pay up to have FFIV on your system.
In that case Sony should pay up, multiplatform games will become the norm so paying for exclusive will become prohibitively expensive.
And yes, Sony should invest in Japanese studios, either buy close partners like Level 5 or NIS or start up a studio of their own that develop nothing but JRPGs, SRPGs and those weird japanese games.
