Sony: We Should Probably Develop Less Games

[Ail]

I kinda agree with the overall article.
My main beef isn't however the quality or the marketing that Sony applies to their games as much as the time frame they pick for some of their releases.
Some of their first party games are released at times when there is already a glut of titles releasing and they do not help boost PS3 overall software sales while failing at the same time to generate much profit.
Some such examples would be for me Resistance 2 and 3, RC : All for One, Twisted Metal,...


As a first party your overall goal should be to fill the gaps in the software release for your platform, both in terms of genres and release time-frames ( even if Infamous has never really performed that well, it's still a title I would keep as it boosts the May-June release schedule which is typically very poor) and generate hype for your platforms by releasing must have franchises ( Uncharted, GT, LBP).
Now not every title can be a must buy franchise and that's totally fine.

What isn't fine is releasing a B-Grade title the same month that 3 others third party A or B titles are being released.
That B-title isn't going to bring much money and it's sales will mostly come at the expense of third party sales on which Sony would have generated revenue anyway....So in that case releasing nothing wouldn't have hurt the platform much and might actually have resulted in higher profits for Sony...
