so Microsoft knows how to give developers what they want Sony head quarters don't

First of all, this guy is saying what we all know, that the (Direct) X Boxes were built as stand alone gaming PCs; so basically Microsoft cheated their way into console gaming by bringing PC developers.

My problem here is that PC gaming and console gaming used to be something different. Now consoles are all about Elder's Scrolls, CoD and Crysis, great games don't get me wrong but those are PC games, what happened to the innovative gameplay and exotic story telling of console gaming ?! Why on earth don't we just get new gfx cards for the PC then and be done with it.

 

Second of all, who the hell is Cory Bloyd and what on earth has Munkeyfun studio made ?!

 

I dont think it matters (with relevence to the developer) what Microsoft did to get developers to like there console it is what Sony didnt do to get them liking the PS3 at the start it is not only this Cory Bloyd that has said that it was difficult to program for back then.  

They had a run of amazing 1st party games like uncharted and other developers start releasing games of better quality, is it a concidence or did something happen to resolve the issues, from the sounds of it, it was the developers that resolved the issue and not the people issuing the SDK's or whatever SCEI should have been doing. thats why I said what I said, its like the people up top at SCEI seem to have dropped the ball and didnt even try to go get it a again, the developers knowing how important it was decided to do something about it and did.

 Its just shows how good sony's first partys are compared to most 3rd party studios.

 

@ bolded: is it not still there in the first party games, dont know I have not played a game from last gen in a while. if it is effecting the quality of the game that isnt very good.

on a side note if I get things wrong sorry im just speculating on most things.
