| BMaker11 said: #1 there is no "internal studio from Marvelous". It's all the same company. It's like trying to separate Square from Enix. Victor Interactive is merged with Marvelous and they're known as "Marvelous Interactive" in 2003 and then they were merged into Marvelous Entertainment. So it's all the same people. And Marvelous Entertainment has made PS3 games |
I'm going to stop you right there. If you really think that developer is the same thing as publisher, then you have no idea what you're talking about. Marvelous has multiple studios, just as Activision has Treyarch, Infinity Ward, and Raven Software, amongst others, or like Nintendo has Retro Studios, Intelligent Systems, HAL Laboratories, etc. In the case of Harvest Moon, the studio's name is Marvelous Interactive.
Beyond that, here's the list of studios that Marvelous has published games from on PS3: Access Games, Feelplus, Neverland, and AQ Interactive. Of these, Access and Neverland are/were separate developers (not owned by Marvelous in any sense), while Feelplus was owned by AQ Interactive, which then merged with Marvelous in 2011, after all of the PS3 games had already been released. So Marvelous hasn't developed a single game for PS3.
To quickly address your other claims... I didn't say XBLA games made it notable, I said XBLA games prove it's not first-party. If making three big games doesn't make you notable, then the number of notable studios is much, much smaller (and yes, Valhalla Game Studios is notable - have you not heard of all of the hype around Devil's Third? But I didn't list them because they haven't released any of their games, yet). The fact that you, specifically, haven't heard of a developer doesn't mean they're not notable - kind of like how you probably couldn't name the king of Norway, but he's still an influential person. That they've mostly made PC games doesn't mean they're not notable, and the claim was "all notable third-party developers". If the studio has been notable, and still exists, it's still notable. If they make one notable game from the generation in question, they're notable within that generation.
