I just got through reading this article. My favorite piece: (This is very much a 'Sony game'). Not only do I agree that it is, but I'm glad they mention that. Give better insight into Sony's tastes when it comes to sales. They prefer these artsy, story-driven games that don't do 10-20 million in sales, not even 5. They just prefer the top-notch quality, which as a gamer is most important.

Thats like totally not true. You're just spinning the fact that they haven't had a few massive sellers by saying 'oh they wanted it that way'. If they had released 2-3 5M + sellers you'd be singing another completely different tune 'gamers just respond well to quality Sony first party titles' or something like that. If SCE could make a game equivalent series of Spiderman they would!

It isn't? You can prove that it isn't, even when the article itself hints at it? Where in there do I say that they don't want high sales? I said the games they prefer don't sell those huge numbers. Sounds to me like an agenda you had in quoting me.

I think what my man CGI was getting at was not that sony dont want 10million seller games. Thats crazy talk, if one of their series started selling that much they would gladly embrace it(see GT).

What he means is that sony is looking to inovate a genre rather than just pump out what the rest off developers are doing. What was the idea behind Gran Turismo? To create the most realistic driving sim known to man, not to make a game that sells a lot. This was at a time when Racing games were pure arcade style and abhord realism, it was seen as not fun enough. This is Sony's trademark.
