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.

I heavily disagree. You have to be a fool to think Sony wouldn't want a franchise like Halo, Zelda or Gears of War exclusive on their platform. They would trade Heavy Rain in for a series with great sales every second. This is serious business. They want to make money.

Yep, they would like big money making series, but that doesn't take away from he fact that this is very much a Sony game. Sony like to be unique and take quality and their image very seriously, many love this, many hate it. Its the same when it comes to games. You believe games like Ico, The Last Guardian, Flower etc would have been introduced on another system?

Yes.

These might be great games, but the fanbase tries to make something special out of it. They are pushing this to a piece of art level, which they are not. This is entertainment, not more and not less (Can you say it like this in English?)
