Actually Nintendo didn't allow third parties room to breathe and be themselves and thats how they ran the NES/SNES era. When Sony arrived they did what Sega couldnt and gave third parties and alternative that will make their own great games and allow third parties to fly. This is why they flocked to Sony for the format perks. Since then its been a beautiful relationship, hands down Sony and Microsoft deal with third party in a fair manner compared to Nintendo. Nintendo expects third parties to drop their aspirations to suit their weak console specs. That wont fly if the market is growing and has money to spend. This new gen will start off a little slower than normal but third parties now have a backbone because of companies like Sony and Microsoft.

It's also beautiful that Sony is making its way to bankruptcy. In other words, it's beautiful for 3rd parties but I don't believe in the business model (loss-leading, buying out 3rd parites).
Sorry.

Keep talking about Sonys business model when we know its their outer gaming region that is the true loss leader. Sony has taken risks with consoles because they know they'll reap the rewards later and they have. The Vita is their only true flaw that is taking a while to pick up. The Move of all the last gen peripherals was the best...but had no games to show how truly precise it was compared to the competition.
The PS4 will be more affordable to put together and sell than the PS3 if you listened to what Sony said at the unveiling. It worked out best in everyones favor...words Nintendo fails to understand. Theres no everyone with them when it comes to development planning.
|
not sure if serious...
|
I am. Sonys cause for massive losses is outside of the gaming arena. They are currently profiting off of the PS3.
|
Sony lost billions of dollars on PS3, this platform is not profitable, the platform is drowning in red ink, if Nintendo jumped on the HD bandwagon at the dawn of 7th generation to compete with hd twins they were now literary bankrupt or at verge of bankruptcy, I'm sure you and your hardcore brethren would have liked this, but it didn't happened. Your series of posts is horrible slide of pure nonsense and unsupported claims.
|
The PS3 has been in the profit zone since 2010.
|
so in your logic if my debt is many billions and then suddenly i earn some millions I'm profitable? if so this is bad even for circumstances of hardcore gamers logic
|
You're displacing where the debt is majorly coming from. Ever since they started having financial woes the media has been saying the gaming industry is becoming one of their steadiest profiting schemes displacing the losses of their other electronics that they refuse to sell at competitive prices. This has been a rough gen but it doesnt meant it can get better. Sony and Microsoft have always sold their consoles at a loss to give us more in the box from the very beginning. This is the first time Sony has made a stupid mistake with their console and suffered the consequences for it only to profit four years later. The PS3 will be selling very well...especially since the Wii U is out its going to make the PS3 and XBox 360 even more appealing when you look at the library of games. Nintendo's next gen console is just too close in power and offerings to the current gen than comparable to next gen and its hurting them without more to offer and no major exclusives launching.
|
this is rather funny, the truth is SCE lost billions on Playstation 3 the entire income from PS1 and PS2 generation was literary drowned in this "engineering masterpiece" but financial failure, whatever the media thinks is hardly relevant.
The PS3 is hardly profitable platform for Sony
"Wii U is out its going to make the PS3 and XBox 360 even more appealing when you look at the library of games."
WiiU is too early in its life-cycle to draw any conclusions
|
You just don't get it. Wait until the new consoles launch and Microsoft and Sony put price cuts on the PS3 and 360. Wii U is competing with the wrong consoles.
|
Not at all the WiiU is not competing with anything, its main and only competitor is Nintendo's ability to create games compelling enough to support sales of WiiU, it can achieve Wii level of success or GameCube level in sales.
