so having less games, less variety, and having more of the same is good for gamers!

good to know, next time im in the market i will be buying the console with which i think there will be the least amount of games for.

silly me, all this time i thought having the most options, in which games to buy was a good thing for me.


You're bringing absolutely 0 value to the thread. Even Sony realize that, so they can make more games you enjoy, they need to have business sense, and stop producing games that have low ROI. They also admit they need to restrict certain resource allocation so as to bolster marketing and increase sales so as to stay alive and produce more games they can market.

If resources are allocated in excess of the respective sales met, due to not reaching a market (for marketing and content reasons) or failing to appeal to an audience, then those resources should be better allocated into proper marketing games with higher ROI and reducing the money lost in content the audience is not responding to. That's all that's being said.

Many posters have explained this to you, drop it already.

It's not a fact, more of an opinion. I agree with Osama. Playstation is my favorite console at the moment because of the variety and number of exclusives Sony offers. I could care less if inFamous sold 1m or 3m. I enjoyed it as a gamer. No sequel because of sales? Well that's fine then , bring on the next IP. No harm to me. Sony goes out? Fine I have Nintendo and PC gaming to fall back on. And 20 years from now? It would probably be something completely different.

I think people get a little too carried away with company loyalty. Theres nothing wrong with having a favorite, everyone does, but to worry more about them pocketing billions than to establishing new teams, jobs, ip's,...; than to focus on reality that you are just a consumer that should be making the best out of an "investment", is wrong imo. I like Sony, i wish them the best, I want them to keep going, but if they go out, I'll adjust my gaming preferences as I've said.

Gee, it has nothing to do with company loyalty. It's business sense.

 

It's been said before:

How can a company produce games if it does not return a profit. If you really like games, then you like Video Game profit.

Or, put it this way:

What would happen if all video game companies behaved like Sony? That's right, 0 games after all of them go bankrupt.
