So, MS is once again setting another console up as the shooter box?
Exclusive shooter from ex-infinity ward devs, a multiplatform reveal at their own console announcement, likely another halo being announced at the same time.

Sony needs to get their act together and fight for the fps games. To think, you can win a market with just a single genre.

FPS is also Sony's biggest market by a significant margin.

I'm not sure if this is a rebuttal or not. Is it? FPS being Sony's biggest market doesn't really have anything to do with what I said.


No rebuttal.  You say sony needs to get their act together but there biggest market is also FPS games.  Not as big as MSFT but they do fine in that genre.

because of third party multiplats, you mean? I don't see how that means Sony doesn't need to get their act together. Yes, FPS is the biggest market. That is a fact. Logic would then tell you to work harder at getting big FPS games. Is that happening? No.

That is also something people tend to fabricate.  Microsoft is known for the popularity of the FPS genre since they have Halo which has the potential to sell 10m and plus the FPS genre tends to sell more on MSFT.  However if you look at Sony they tried breaking into the FPS genre with three games this generation.  Resistance, Killzone, and Haze  They garnered success, they just never reached Halo success.  I know if I continue with my analysis it will cause a big argument so i'll just stop there.

Because it's such a strong argument.

Prof: Sony doesn't try hard enough to secure FPS equality or dominance.
Jay: Sony's biggest market is FPS
Prof: Thanks to third party multiplats that Sony doesn't actually have to do anything to get. Sony needs to work harder at getting an edge.
Jay: This is a mistake people make. Sony put out at least three FPS games, better yet, at least one of those devs wasn't shuttered due to their games flopping.
Prof: You sure told me. If Sony at least tries as hard as they did this past gen, they'll be fine competing with MS for FPS market share.
