First off Sales2099 is the only one looking at this from a business persepective. Leo is taking this from a bias perspective, and Jay you just, idk. Everything Sales2099 has said that I've read is correct. Yes Madden is huge btw why do you guys think they sale it every year. Can you imagine how much profits they are getting out of a game that barely has to update each year?
Halo/Gears/Forza is way bigger than Sony's first party. I don't even know why this is being argued. If you're going to argue let's look at the numbers. These are how much each franchise has sold this gen
Halo-28.99m and with Halo 4 that's going to increase
Gears of War-18.04m
Forza-11.45m
Total-58.48
Uncharted-14.57m
Gran Turismo-7.87m
God of War-7.53m
Total-29.97
Halo alone almost matches the totals for all three of Sony's exclusives. With halo 4 it will pass all three.
And Leo, so you said PSN is the best online service? XBL has much more respect for multiple reasons but I know what you're going to say. FREE, am I correct. Sorry but Steam is 10x better than PSN and it's also free.
If you all really think it's ok for a company to go from making an insane amount of profits with the PS2 to losing billions with the ps3 you have a problem. Graphics is not even noticeable between X360 and PS3, play pc if you wanna a difference. 600 dollars was a huge mistake just like the Vita is making a huge mistake with making memory cards over priced and an expensive portable console. Get rid of your bias opinions, Sales2099 is the only one correct here so I don't understand the argument here. Please explain.

Thats great bro. Microsoft might have three titles that are strong, but those sales are supplemented by the fact that Sony has way more games for potential sales.
|
Which mostly fall below the radar.....

Very true, you're both right in some respect, but the fact remains that a good enough percentage of Sonys first party becomes known throughout aspects of its respective generation and carries over. Microsoft forced Sony into a position that caused Sonys first party to become greater than ever before. At least you could admit that. The sale of all of the games supplement the cause.

Agreed. People dont notice it but I do: Sony is adopting the 1st string, second string, 3rd string exclusive approach like MS. Basically is that top 3 list above.
Before Sony was content to have their games sell all evenly and what not. Because PS2 was such a success, it mattered not how much they sell in the first place. Now......Sony needs "big guns", something MS allready adopted from the start. Were gonna see a lot of Sony downsizing of their "below the radar studios" in the coming years, mark my words. Hell, it is allready happening.

Sony said Microsofts method of focusing on on a couple strong games has affected their method of development. Of course they arent going to develop as little as Microsoft but they are going to eliminate the waste and focus on the potential high sellers. You bring up a good point, Sales. I didnt even remember this until now. Yep, Sony will be cutting back.
