If Kojima has anything to do with it, MGS wont be 'the game' that goes to the 360. Final Fantasy - I couldn't care less.

Im in such a blessed position as all the exclusives I really care about are owned/made etc by Sony.

 

 

' Sony doesn't make titles. They are lucky they were able to acquire devs that have similar styles that have what we've come to know as "Sony style". If Sony made titles, a good portion of them would probably flop.

 

i hope you are being sarcastic because then whats microsoft? they aren't even a hardware company also bungie and epic are both third party.

 

 

Microsoft Game Studios has actually created games with the likes of ACES since the 90's or maybe even earlier. They also developed the newer joysticks and gamepads as gamepads evolved to improve gaming on PC's. Sony never gave a damn about videogames until Kutaragi talked them into it (Which almost cost him his job). Microsoft does make hardware, you should see the computer they are developing. It looks promising. I know that Bungie isn't first party, but they were and Microsoft owned their IP (Hence why they are still joined at the hip); Epic on the other hand was third party. Microsoft Game Studios was created in 2002. Do not question Microsoft's intentions in gaming, because they've been in it far longer than Sony. Their job now is to figure out what console-gaming fans like as opposed to PC gaming fans. The biggest threat to Sony is Microsoft finally understanding the rhythm of how the console world works. They already beat Sony at their own game in moneyhatting (Which Sony cannot fight back, because they know they cant).

what? sony its more a hardware company and gaming company that microsoft it's.

microsoft it's mainly a software company, and their big games aren't bigger than own developed sony games, and if you count bungie as a first party so it's polyphony and alls developers sony bought, they own them.

sony been in gaming since the 90s too Snes Era, now they are way bigger first party and publisher than sony is, more studios to begin with.

 

Microsoft has been making gaming products and hardware before Sony even thought themselves of even setting foot into the gaming realm. I don't know where you're getting your in formation from. Microsoft does make hardware, they just don't make TV's like Sony. Microsoft focuses on computers, business products and more; but they like to have their own software and hardware for computers. The Xbox and the Xbox 360 are pieces of hardware aren't they? Microsofts Sidewinder products have been the ideal choice items to use for computer games since the 90's. However Microsoft has been involved in gaming since the 80's.

Sony has been involved with the Playstation since the 90's. Sony laughed at Kutaragi when he expressed the desire for Sony to pursue videogames after the fallout with nintendo and being inspired by his child playing nintendo and seeing profit in it. Before the Playstation, Sony was supposed to help Nintendo out in making a CD add on for their latest system, but Nintendo smelled a greedy rat and dropped their deal with Sony when Sony was going to try and take all of the profit.

Sony did have to moneyhat to get all those studios didn't they? I love how people tell me they don't. Microsoft can buy a shitload of companies, but they've spent more money focusing on taking Sony's bread and butter from last gen; 3rd party titles.
