| mai said: 1) Sony didn't establish itself in portable space well enough to support even a barely successful and primarily gaming platform in long-time perspective without help of 3rd parties. The strongest brand they have is Gran Turismo, and it seems to me that GT game on PSP2 won't help it that much, since GT did nothing for PSP sales last year. So it's even questionable if they're capable of carving a niche for PSP2 based solely on 1st party offerings (at least if PSP2 will share it's predecessor overall concept, they clearly need some new ideas and software). 2) He's right. The only 1st party game that has a shot at selling massive 10M on PS3 is GT5, was it released? I assume no. And GTA4, MW1 and MW2 with combined sales of over 20M, I guess, did nothing to drive PS3 sales? |
1. Well, has there ever been a non-Nintendo handheld that sold as much as the PSP? No, definitly not. So I think they've established themselves well, although it could be much better, I know.
2. My post wasn't really clear there, so I try to make it clear now. Yes, multiplatform games drive hardware, but not only one single platform, it drives all platform on which the game is released at the same time (as you see at GTA4 for example). Furthermore no one is buying a PS3 just for GTA4, they could also buy a much cheaper X360 instead, you know.
