Sony: We Should Probably Develop Less Games

To be fair on number 3... that was basically all the 3DS's doing with their big miscalculation there (that they readily admitted and took full responsibility on, something Sony has trouble admitting).  And the Wii basically died this past year because well... there were no games and its old (tech wise).  But then again, the 3DS seems to be full steam ahead now and the Wii U will come out far before the HD twins get their next gen.  Even still, they didn't lose close to what Sony lost and it was one loss after piling up the money from previous years, which Sony hasn't done in forever.

So should Sony develop less games as well?

If Sony has say... 15 and Nintendo has 1.   Obviously there needs to be a middle ground.  Say 7.  Xbox had what... 4?  They could have used a couple more, that would have been nice.  But they were still successful.  If you count Kinect games, they had many more.  Sony had too many... it obviously hurt them.  Nintendo is done with this Gen and moving on to the next... I'm pretty sure we can all agree that they abandoned the Wii.  Don't try and put words in my mouth when I've already clearly stated what I think Sony should do.  Which is make a bit fewer games (cutting off the ones that suck, can't be good without a bigger budget, or just don't sell), but not make as little as Nintendo just did for the Wii.  Keep in mind, Nintendo was doing just fine with their middle ground number in all the previous years just like Microsoft has the past few years.  Sony is the one with the different strategy that has failed them since the PS3 launched.  And it's killing them.
