| leo-j said: Not its not exclusives. Microsoft is buying developers of the ps3. Some are even speculating that microsoft told EA to make better games on the xbox 360, and not good games on the ps3. They are not playing fair. Sony did not buy developers of the dreamcast. Why cant it be nintendo vs sony all the time. They have the best things to offer. |
Leo you need to relax.
EA are in Microsoft's back pocket, we all know that. Look at the quality of games EA are sending the Wii? Madden Wii is a complete suckfest.
Japan devs are not so keen on doing that though, Konami, Level 5, Atlus and S-E etc... are not going to drop PS3 quality simply because of Microsoft. Konami with PES08 is a perfect example, PS3 bundle, whored it out on the PS3 and not the 360 at Leipsig etc...
US developers are in MS back pocket, not only because of money hats but because Sony are much more focused on just buying devs outside Japan and making them 1st party. Heavenly Sword was going to be a 360/PS3 title until Sony put a stop to it, UT3 was going to get a release date on all platforms at the same time until Sony put a stop to it. Do you think Ubisoft are putting Haze on the PS3 exclusive for 6mths for free? Not likely.
Whether we accept it or not but Sony's future, like Microsoft's, depends on their 1st party games. Nintendo have shown the way but neither Sony nor Microsoft can survive long term by constantly throwing money at 3rd parties. In fact, it shows a complete lack of faith in ones console to pay devs to lessen the quality of another console games but that is just the way things are. If Sony were smart, they would go like Nintendo and ignore the crap out of Microsoft and just concentrate on 1st party games. Let Microsoft bitter and argue with themselves but you will never see Nintendo paying out large sums of money for games and they don't need to and they are absolutely killing Microsoft and Sony without 3rd parties.
You wait until Mario Galaxy hits, nothing Microsoft does will change the fact that it will sell over 10million copies in it's lifetime.
