| HappySqurriel said: The PS3's line-up for 2008 looks good at the moment because every major game that was supposed to be released in 2007 was delayed into 2008 and every game that has an unknown release date is assumed to come out in 2008; many of these games can see further delays or be ported. At the same time Nintendo and Microsoft have not been hyping their 2008 games yet because they want to focus everyone on the games they're releasing today; Nintendo (for example) wants everyone buying Mario Galaxy, Metroid and Super Smash Bros they don't want people focusing their attention on a game that won't be released for 14 to 16 months. |
That is all that needs to be said.
We are just entering the 2007 holiday season, any hyping of 2008 game lineups (PS3) should hardly be considered a positive thing.
We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
