It's the same thing for Microsoft they have Halo 4 and Gear of War who are mega seller sony has Gran Turismo and Uncharted

Microsoft has Forza and Fable who sold relatively well sony has LBP,God of War

And about risky game we can mention Heavy Rain and Alan Wake before the two game was released the majority expect Alan wake will outsell Heavy Rain but it was the oposite Heavy rain 2 time  more then Alan Wake.

The Resistance and Socom games all tanked, but there are countless others too. Sony keeps buying up developers, spending millions on publishing exclusives and then they tank. You mentioned just a few, but even a rep from Sony stated they need to slow down on 1st party exclusives.

This generation was Sony's to lose. They lost it, Nintendo won and Microsoft is a real threat now. The era of Sony owning the console space has ended. Nintendo may live over in Nintendo land, but the part of the market that Sony dominated for two generations has split and it's not going to be mended any time soon. Microsoft would have to screw up big to lose the momentum they have garnered. All that mind-share that Sony lost this gen will be very difficult to get back.

In my opinion Sony needs to do three things to be profitable next gen.

1. Produce only a few high quality exclusives per year, like MS.

2. Use cheap off the shelf parts for their console, like Nintendo.

3. Abandon the handheld market.

If they do that they will be able to make back the money they lost this generation.

lmao "the era Sony owning console space has ended" Just because Sony didnt do as good as last gen doesnt mean they will struggle in the next gen. By your logic Nintendos era would have ended long time ago and they shouldve been only active in the handheld market. If there is anything uncertain, then it is who's going to rule next gen.

1. What do you mean by "only a few high quality titles a year"? This year the only high quality title for 360 I can think of Halo 4. Last year GeoW3 and Forza 4. Thank god Sony releases games all year round.

2. They probably will like the Vita

3. Lolz, they should abandon the handheld market just becoz the first 6 month of Vita sales was not so good? The Vita is a cashcow for Sony, its making a profit for them. They come from the PSP wich sold almost as much as the Gameboy Advance, I just fail to see them leaving the handheld market.

 

Btw, wich games did tank? Resistance did not tank. The games sold really well except for part 3. Not every games has to sell 20 millions. I like the way Sony has little franchises, I rather have 10 games  that sell 1 million, then 1 game that sell 10 million. For me as a gamer it would mean I have 10 games to choose from.

 

 

 

Oh yeah? Wich games did tank then?
