This my friends is why Sony is losing the plot with gamers. The most popular games in the world are the kind of games and gamers that Sony don't seem to be interested in. They are a hardcore company who makes games to serve themselves and you can really see how that kind of attitude follows through with their sales numbers and the 'relative' ineffectiveness of their first and second party studios next to their numbers and talent.

 

I was just thinking of this.

Sony seems to be severly inclosed. Kind of like China in ancient times, they didn't want to share or change their ways.

Well yup.

Sony's game problem seems to be that the differentiate by trying to do what every other third party game company is trying to do but 'better'. They cater really well to the desensitised minority of gamers, the ones who buy a lot of games at that. The thing that will trip them up is that as they make their games more realistic with better animation and better graphics is that not only will the games cost more to make with only a single console to recoup their expenses they will also turn off the wider audience who is sensitive to graphic violence.
