True WINNERS in this thread: ssj12, username, leo-j. All this “oh Sony is soooooo doomed” crap is a little ridiculous. Resistance 2 and LBP are nothing short of masterpieces and anyone who owns, and is currently playing them, knows this. @ OP: you should just go play games and have fun, not dwell on who sells the most since you have NO control over it anyway.

 

 

Um...I don't think LBP and Resistance 2 are bad games dude. I was talking about sales issues on Sony's part.

It doesn't appear  that you have a PS3, so I ask, how would you know whether each game was good or not? Perhaps a 30 second peak at a friends, hmm?

 

Actually yesterday I treated myself a PS3. I'm buying MGS4 on friday.

 

Yesterday... And in that time you've been able to complete LBP and Resistance 2?

On Topic - I think everyone is missing the point here... Why create a game that will cost you more to develop on the console that sells less software??

As long as the 360 keeps increasing its lead you'll see more exclusives (timed or not) heading to the 360 by third party developers. More PC developers will create 360 ports, and more games will lead to more console sales.

The PS3 is in trouble, a price cut saved it last time in Europe and almost killed the 360 in Europe. Another one is needed really soon, cause the nails are starting to pile up next to the coffin again (I'm not saying the PS3 is dead, I'm just saying the undertaker is starting to collect his stuff)

Because by creating games on the PS3 it is easier to port to other platforms thus saving you money. Hint hint look at what EA is doing... We've also seen the PS3 creating more revenue for developers. And people need to knock it off with this "the PS3 is in trouble" business. Just take a peak at the front page, costs 2x as much, sells just as many... Kinda makes you think doesn't it?

 

What are you talking about? The PS3 is not the easiest system to start the job and save money porting to others. Just for starters the PS3 is the most expensive console to develop for and the most time consuming. If a game is ported to the PS3, bro...it's going to take a while. It may sell just as many, but it's 5 million behind, they cannot make profit off of online premium like Microsoft can (and they want to,trust me. Especially now that Kutaragi is out of the picture), and Microsoft throws more money at their games to be more appealing. Microsoft out of them and Sony are acting more like a dominant corporation than Sony is, just expecting people to leave their 3rd party games exclusive.

 

Like I said, it's easier to port from PS3 to other consoles, which in the long run saves time and money. Why do you think EA, a massive gaming company is beginning to do this?
