| mai said: Criteria of success, there're no objective criteria of quality in games and many other kinds of media. If your bigger team makes less money than your rival's small team - you've got a problem in management department. Sony 1st parties are tempting me with ridicilously long development cycles and weren't able to give anything in last couple of years that I wanted (GT5, GOW3 and especially new Team Ico project - games I'm looking for). So yes, their teams are bigger, but that means shit, 'cos bigger team won't translate into better games and even better sales.. |
The bolded statement is what I was getting at, I never mentioned criteria for success.
Sure, Nintendo is more successful this generation. A short and simple development cycle due to familiar hardware and brand recognition of long-lasting IP's are what can probably be attributed to their success more so than their management or creative departments. Either way, it'd be speculation on our parts.
