First party is what upsets the cost of ps4 loss. Killzone never said was a flop but together with knack will cause a loss for Sony because overall it failed to do it's job. Killzone I feel overall may be a lost because of http://www.examiner.com/article/killzone-shadow-fall-dev-says-next-gen-has-quadrupled-game-development-costs if it true and according to my memory of Sony saying killzone 3 underperformed. It seems to follow the pattern of killzone 3 but with a bigger budget. Third party should be used to boost the power of first party and vise-versa. But in this case it isn't just third party(mostly shooters). Knowing how Sony first party is very front-loaded and sales cut by half every week. It seems it will meet killzone 3 by 5% more or less. Knack has no chance at the current market looking at the current games on the low-end this game like similar platformers on the system should drop by 70-60% based on puppeteer and R&C performance being similar games having that performance and review scores. I know you said nothing about knack but I know for almost a fact Sony Isn't happy with knack. 200,000 in Amercia is me being fair. Don't get me wrong hardware performance was great. But software on Sony side is lacking and Sony has to convince these gamers to buy than just third party or just feeding companies money and not yourself. At the end of the day it's about profit. |
The PS3 had a huge install base when KZ3 came out, it also came out on a Tuesday. With a millon consoles sold, and for a game coming out on a Friday, I'm pretty sure Sony is happy with that. And with Knack, Sony better be happy! Platformers are dead not named Mario. So I really hope no one was expecting this to sell well. What you said changes nothing. Don't expect first party games to take over on this console, because it won't happen.
