But it astounds me that given how PS3 is praised for its exclusives above all else, its 2 leading titles this holiday are tracking individually behind a Forza spinoff. I dont even need to refer to Halo 4 to make my point.
Its just confusing data no matter how you slice it.

You seem to be implying that because ps3 fans praise some exclusives, then that means they praise all exclusives. Even worse, you're suggesting that praise translates well to real-world success. That's simply flawed thinking. Nothing is confusing about the data. Yes, ps3 fans like some of the ps3 exclusives (that's probably automatic for fans of any console). Yes, the PS3 has a seemingly weak holiday this year. Where's the confusion? |
Im not implying, I guarantee you that all exclusives get praise.Im suggesting they they "want" their praise to translate into real world success, stemming from a near universal belief both on and off the internet that Sony has more diversity in their IPs. You dont have to tell me that their thinking is flawed....I have always been a believer that internet hype should match the real world.
Its confusing because its the holidays, the biggest shopping season of the year. These numbers look like they are being released in APRIL.Its confusing that Sony even "seemingly" has a weak holiday lineup. Dont they have all these developement studios at their disposal? Where was the hindsight and resource management? What big shot at Sony decided that the 2012 holidays would only have a untested IP and a spinoff as the biggest and ONLY exclusives to distinguish the competition?
Something doesnt add up, both at management and at the gamer level. I think The Last of Us was meant to the the "Big Gun" this year, but luckily no dates were official and it was easily declared as a 2013 game. But thats another thread all together.

1. Some are working on Vita games.
2. Some are working on games for 2013 (ND, Santa Monica, Quantic Dream)
3. Some are working on PS4 games

Seems odd is all. This year is the home stretch, the last hurrah. WiiU is coming out and 360 is gonna release Halo 4, the last big 360 exclusive. Sony is doing their home stretch in 2013 for PS3, when WiiU is gaining momentum and MS is stealing hype for their upcoming console.I dunno.....just poor resource management IMO. |
The PS3 should have a decent enough ending with the Slim and numerous 2013 exclusives. Sony is getting ready for the PS4 launch, which is a good plan.
