| Zipper said: Sony has been in the console business for 15 years. They've created 3 amazing consoles, two of them being amazingly popular and one the best selling home console in the world. They own the most amazing developers, I believe today Sony is only second to Nintendo in quality when it comes to first party titles. your opinion They created dozens franchises, some of them more popular than others yet only one of them - Gran Turismo, has been extremely popular and with Gran Turismo 5 releasing soon, we will see if the franchise is still popular as it was before. yes we will 3m 1st week baby I'm trying to think why, in 15 years, they couldn't make at least one extremely popular franchise among the dozens they've created? id rater have dozens of good ones than just one Even back in the PS2 era, Sony created some of the best titles on the system, but they still weren't crazy popular Titles that are critically acclaimed - Uncharted 2, God of War 3, Killzone 2 - Why do they fail to reach their sales potential? U2 and GoW3 i think have KZ2 was the surprise but i believe KZ3 will change that Take Uncharted 2 for example. It the most critically acclaimed of the bunch, it has multiplayer, co-op and I can't take think of a game that is more easy to market - yet it failed to make an impact and dropped of the NPD for good after one month of sales which weren't extremely good anyway idk about all that its still in the top 40 WW weekly who cares about big 1st weeks U3 will take care of that for you Why do titles like Gears of War (for some reason the eastiest title to compare to Uncharted) do so much better? its rated M for mature has local splitscreen MP period Why do titles like Killzone 2 which had a huge amount of hype and belongs to the most popular genre on consoles today failed to sell the millions everyone thought it will? same as above except for the Mature part also missing alot of features other FPS had at that time along with no blind fire from cover and no cover system in MP also i believe some didnt like the controls and the way the movement felt It an interesting topic I think we should discuss |
Its obvious the potential is there
but your right sony doesnt market there games much and they have said that they dont have that kinda money like others in the industry do and id rather have them use there money to create more killer games like U2 GoW3 GT5 ect..
SONY ONLY fans are a unique bunch they come from all parts of the world and there taste in games is very varied and SONY knows this thats why they keep creating many good games in different genres gen after gen to appeal to these people and keep there business going they dont have time to think about marketing there thinking bout creating the next big thing gen after gen
