Xxain said: SONY is lame, They need to start selling there own consoles. Its great Nintendo got MH, but they didnt need it. A mass audience IP is needed for PlayStation products and they need to stop wasting money and time with all that other Junk. Nobody cares about Modnation Racers and that definitely wont change with stripped Vita offering. When will this company step up? They have consoles to sell. Tekken, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear are not there to save them anymore. All these owned developers andthey barely have IP's that sells 5% of PS3 owners and I believe GT5 is the only game that reached 10%. SONY needs to find a self owned IP that attracts a mass audience regardless of Region to a single game. They need a real console seller. They need that game everybody will buy by default when they purchase PlayStation products. They need to start selling PlayStation's Current IP's are not even close to that. |
That's not Sony's style. They believe in having a wide variety of medium sized franchises as opposed to a few behemoths ala Nintendo. This prevents 3rd parties from being scared of the competition while still producing good games. And although you can argue with this strategy, you can't argue with Sony's sucesses: 28 million sellers on a console that only has sold about 60 million units, AS WELL AS a bunch of third party hits.
The fact that Sony relies on third parties is not a sign of weakness if those third parties make PS3 games. |
True ... if this was the PS2/PS1. 3rd will not be to exclusively support SONY. so every console gets MGSV, FF15 ext plus Mario an Halo on top of that ... what does SONY have? as 3rd parties begin taking in all consoles 3rd party power will dimension( wont play that big of role in console choice) and it will be 1st party offerings/securing that decide it.. which SONY is lacking in regards to appeal.
