It was decent. No megaton like last year, but still far better. Halo reach and LFD2 was pretty awesome, natal not so much... |
No megaton? Metal gear Solid Franchise going to 360 i would say was pretty big. That marks the end of a fully exclusive Sony deal which marks the end of pretty much all of Sony's old guard exclusive 3rd party franchises. Meaning if they announce MGS5 for PS3 there is a lot higher chance it will also be for 360 then MGS4. The fact Kojima walked onto a Microsoft conference set is a megaton.

Announcing a multiplatform game from the start isn't a megaton. It's a big announcement nonetheless.

Again i don't think you quite grasp the point of what i was saying. MGS2 as mentioned above was on xbox.
But that was then and this is now. The landscape is very different. Sony has one 3rd party franchise remaining exclusive before today. If someone said before the show started that Kojima would walk onto the Microsoft conference stage and say "The Metal gear Franchise is coming to 360", people would laugh. If you then said Kojima would then go on to say "the next metal gear, Metal gear Rising will be on 360" then they would think your insane.
The megaton is that the Metal gear Solid Franchise has now gone multi-platform. That is like the guy who makes Halo walking onto the Sony conference saying Halo ODT will be on PS3. That will not happen. But the point is now that all those old franchises Sony had have all gone multi-platform.

No. First of all, Versus XIII is still a big exclusive game (it'll go multi someday, but I'm saying that there are still big exclusives left).
Second, PS3 owners have lost nothing. Halo ODST would be a megaton, yes, because the 360 would lose a big exclusve. Rising has never been announced as a PS3 exclusive. Last year's announcement was also big, because NO ONE expected it. Quite some people expected MGS to go multi (I expected MGS 4 to be announced for the 360 as well).
MS' confere was good, they did what they had to. Announce new games, show new things of upcoming games, ... but nothing huge happened.

Again im sorry mate but you don't quite get it. Sony has lost nothing as your rightly say. They will obviously be getting the Metal gear games too.
But if you were a gamer and were after a new console to play the game would you pay £129 to play it or £299 to play it?
And that is what we have. The old people from the PS1&2 era who helped to sell 120m PS2's have not yet all bought into this new generation.
The fact that a game franchise that was used as a massive selling point especially in Japan has now lost its exclusive tag is a massive blow to the draw power of the PS3. You would have to be a raging fanboy to pay double to play the same game.
So now Sony has to concentrate fully on its 1st party titles to draw people in. Something which im not sure they are as good at as they once were.

Metal Gear fans (most of them atleast) already have a PS3. This game won't sell alot of consoles, 360 or PS3.
