People who buy Sony platforms expect a lot of exclusives and new IP's from Sony, much in the same vein as Nintendo and their vast lists of characters and the same with Microsoft For Halo and shooter fanatics. |
The moral of the story is they all have different uses and different types of fans.
|
The problem with Sony is that they try to encompass everything. Microsoft is content where they are.
|
Disagree. Sony's problem is most games they make target small audiences. The ones that has the potential of going mainstream like Uncharted, Killzone, and Last of Us all have horrible advertising.
|
Thats not arguing my point. Sony is always looking for that next great game, but they deal with too many experimental games instead of thinking in a funnel. This is why some of their new IP's are considered niche. Killzone will never be mainstream. The Sony core are always behind that game, but Sony will have to find another shooter to gain mass appeal with. Sonys only issue is finding a shooter. Microsoft has two shooters that sell beyond 5 million copies in Gears and Halo and one eventually will end as Epic needs to make their own games.
|
Sony does have two respectable shooters so I give them credit for that. Killzone and Resistance. If they want to capture the American Market though they need to do a better job in that category so you're right.
|
True. As far as TPS games are concerned Uncharted sells very well and will continue to sell well for years to come as the franchise has no end in sight. The game doesn't go on a timeline like Gears or God of War either, so we'll be seeing that franchise for years. This is the perfect time for Sony Santamonica to make a new IP or pick up Heavenly Sword.
|
I say stay away from Heavenly Sword. They can make a better original IP in my opinion. I hope they dont stop making Uncharted and Im sure the series will continue, but will naughty dog keep developing it? Naughty Dog has a tendancy to stop after 3 games. Speaking of TPs and uncharted. So far the new tomb raider is looking good
