| Runa216 said: Sony has always been the console for people who like variety. The Xbox is a very US-centric system, so Western RPG's, Shooters, and Racers there, Wii focuses on platformers and all ages games. Playstation doesn't have a niche, which is both it's greatest weakness and it's best quality. It's got racers, action games, adventure games, platformers, shooters, puzzle games, you name a genre is has some exclusives. hell, I still think that Killzone is a better FPS than Halo, but that'll only result in anger. Look at it this way: Action - Metal Gear Solid, God of War, Heavenly Sword So yeah, the console has a wide variety of games. Wii has their staples: Mario, Metroid, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Kirby, Wii titles, Epic Mickey, Smash Brothers, etc, but nothing else of value really. No Pokemon, no great Third Party games other than No More HEroes or MadWorld (is that third party?) Xbox 360 is also pretty much geared towards a certain crowd. Halo series, Gears of War series, LEft 4 Dead series (if you don't include PC), Fable, Mass Effect (1, anyway), Viva Pinata, Project Gotham, Forza....that's a whole lot of shooters, some western RPG's, Racing games, and whatever Viva Pinata is. Most of which are also on PC (I like to not include PC becuase it makes 360 look even worse if that's factored into the argument.) All systems have their good games, which is why fanboys are so frustrating, it just happens to be that Nintendo and Microsoft have each cornered their respective market and showered them with advertising, so their sales are through the Roof. sony has the best variety and quality in its exclusives, but are very passive in their marketing, so people don't buy them as much. a shame, too, becuase I happen to think that quality should speak for itself. |
Lovely peice of writing there, couldn't have put it better myself.
Completely discredits the "SONY's IP's don't sell" argument, Playstation is all about variety, not one or two franchises.
