| VGKing said: Exactly. But this gen with the PS3, some of their biggest characters are 1st party. Nathan Drake and Sackboy are perfect examples. Don't you think its smart of Sony to try and make these no-name characters bigger? I think some characters there have some huge potential. Fat Princess is one of them. |
Of course it's smart, but Sonys strategy is flawed. You need the big Icons to draw people in and when they play the game, they will check out those lesser known characters. People wish for Kat to be in the game but that would do nothing to the overall appeal. Sony really needed Lara Croft to be in this game and Solid Snake, those are by far the biggest names that have ever resided under Sony's roof. Without the really big Icons only those people will join the game that know those characters anyway.
That's why SSB is so important. People come for Mario and they learn about all the lesser characters, hopefully Bayonetta, too (getit?).
Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.
