 they offer great games on pretty much every genre, something that nintendo and MS are not even close to doing


Oh, but that's not true. Which hack'n slash game does Sony owns the IP? None that i know. Microsoft has Ninety-Nine Nights, Nintendo has Pandora's Tower. RTS? Nope. Microsoft has Halo Wars, Nintendo has Advance Wars. Simulators? Nintendo has Steel Diver. Microsoft has Flight Simulator. I guess i could find a few other genres that Sony doesn't has a competing game.

yeah sony has no hack and slash games, just the best selling highest quality hack and slash games, God of war. and sony has an RTS third person shooter hybrid starhawk. i would also like to point out that RTS games are shit on consoles. and simulators? seriously? give me a MS or nintendo hack and slash game that holds a candle to GoW. or a nintendo third person shooter than can even compare to uncharted? or a good old MS platformer that can come close to littlebigplanet? do ms and nintendo offer interactive drama? no. free to play games like dust 514? no..... does MS even have an action adventur game? not to mention one that can compete with action tittles like uncharted, GoW or infamous? 


I was just saying that Sony doesn't have that IP diversity people believe, which is actually true. No need to get upset, I already edited my post after remembering God of War and changed hack'n slash for puzzlers, which i believed(wrongly) Sony had no game to compete on. And, you said it better than i could have done: RTS shooter. That doesn't exist, StarHawk is either a third-person shooter with RTS elements or it is a RTS with third-person shooter elements. And, considering that in the game you shoot more than you do RTS stuff, it's a a third-person shooter with RTS elements, therefore not an RTS. We're not discussing wheter some genre is shit in consoles or not, we're discussing about having games in a genre.

And, actually, Nintendo has a third-person shooter games, like Batallion Wars and Kid Icarus: Uprising. And MS also has platformers, it owns the Battletoads IP and has the awesome Comic Jumper game. Agreed about the interactive drama part and free to play games, though games like Pandora's Tower and Distaster(both from Nintendo) focus a lot in that interactive drama part. About Action Adventure games, no need to say, MS has Banjo-Kazooie and Kameo. I guess we could both end it here.


Sony might not have the end all be all shooter, or the nostalgic childhood platforming plumber, but they have a wealth of games aimed at the experienced and tech savy teenage to adult gamer. That is their focus even though they have casual games, they don't market them anywhere
