The article contradicts itself a few times, this one is big:

The first Viva Pinata fail to impress, so the second one shouldn't [paraphrasing], but he goes as far to say that Killzone 2 will be awesome.

But he does make a point though, is that microsoft needs to stop striving for parity with the PS3. Instead of being exactly the same as the console, it needs to differentiate itself, which is usually done through Software. But most of MSs software isn't internally developed, meaning generally, it's multi-plat, and doesn't help them.

Internal Development lets Sony and Ninty make their system special to it's owners, while MS system owners only get whatever third-party game was hot a few years ago.

Actually its the PS3 striving for parity in a lot of genres. For example - Killzone 2/RFOM 2, would they exist without Microsoft first releasing the Halo and Gears franchises? Furthermore aren't Microsoft using their Lionhead studios to help spearhead their RPG push this year?

 

 

Why do people keep saying that crap??? Killzone1 yes, if not for Halo it would not exist. But Killzone 2 could have easily been expected once we saw liberations, and Kz2 was most likely in development b4 Gears 1 even hit main development. As for Resistance, halo has sqwat to do with it, and we can easily say that Resistance 1 started development around the same time as Gears 1.

I have to ask, it is because those games look like killer apps that you must compare them to MS's games to make them look less unique and more like clones??? Screw my previous Paragraph! I don't see why people Resistance 1 was a gears clone, by the look of it You could say that those 2 started development around the same time. And they are both in deferent perspectives god damnit! Ones a reflex shooter and the other is a cover based 3rd person.
