Sky Render on 17 July 2008
First-party titles alone are not guaranteed to save a system from mediocrity. The first-party developer has to be able to develop compelling, original products for that to work. And thus far, I have not seen anything like that from Sony for the PS3, and perhaps one from Microsoft (Viva Pinata), which they've done a very poor job of marketing. Never forget that first-party developers have only one advantage over third-party developers, that being that their parent company made the system to begin with. That does not assure quality titles will come out of their studios, as Sega was quite happy to remind us on a regular basis with their by and large forgettable first-party Genesis line-up.
Sky Render - Sanity is for the weak.
