Sony: We Should Probably Develop Less Games

An article like this, say, 13 months ago would've been completely laughed at on this site. The number of exclusives for the PS3 made the 360 look downright pitiful, right? Those were the chants, ¿verdad? Yet here we are with even Sony themselves saying what some insightful ones have been saying for a long time: a high number of exclusives isn't THE answer. Hopefully now we can all acknowledge that and just move forward on that subject.

And don't get me started on the the number of 1st party studios argument ...

To be fair, many people thought that most of them would be AAA games as well, so their argument wasn't unreasonable. 

Unreasonable?  Ehhh ... that's arguable.  Premature and divisive?  Unquestionably.

Sure, the trend is to make bold statements so that if they come true one can claim so masterful bit of insightful prognostication.  But the reality is that we NEVER know how good ANY game will turn out.  To declare AAA dominance for so many of the PS3 exclusives last year prior to their release was just not a balanced or constructive approach for discussions on these forums.  Especially when it was used so wantonly to beat up the 360 and Microsoft Game Studios.  Fortunately more balanced individuals like Yoshida can view competitors as a platform for learning instead of seeking opportunities for public verbal teabagging...
