Megaton if true |
Overstating things a bit no?
Megaton is an existing popular multiplat franchise going exclusive, or an existing popular exclusive franchise going multiplat, at the begoinning of a new generation.
This is a new IP from a new developer, with some guys who have a good reputation for multiplayer FPS.
It is for sure a very good grab by MS. What surprises me though is not that they got PS4 shut out, but that they've shut out the PC too (right?).
For me, one less FPS franchise on Playstation is good news.
I actually hope the next generation is the generation of something other than FPS.

Please not JPRGs... And why is one less FPS franchise good? I thought Playstation was always strong because of variety...

If Sony focuses on JRPG's again like the did during he PSone and PS2 era, the Japanese will buy PS4's like hot cakes. The Japanese barely bought PS3's because they were alienated by Sony focusing so much on western games. The Japanese were basically forced into Wii/DS mode.

Yes they will but personally I don't care about japanese :) As I live in the west I welcome a strategy that focuses on western games.
|
Well thats the point isn't it? Being a jack of all trades was their m.o when they were on top. They should act like it.

To win japan? :) Well, I think that Sony is doing well in USA and Europe and that there is the most money to make. They could perhaps convince more japanese devs to make JRPGs for PS4 but this wouldn't change sales in USA or Europe. Of course this could be an easy territory for Sony to win sales against NextBox - even more than they do now.
