| Words Of Wisdom said: I don't think Sony will beat my success.
Anywho, this sadly is a very slanted thread. Many people may not recognize who SOE is or remember that they were responsible for the Everquest franchise which was very large during its hayday and probably the single largest factor in moving MMOs into mainstream entertainment and away from MUDs. It's quite possible that had SOE not enjoyed such success with Everquest that there might not even be a World of Warcraft today; in fact, Blizzard may have went on to make Starcraft/Warcraft 4 and Diablo 3 instead. Actually now that I think about it... screw you Everquest; I'd rather have had Diablo 3. Otherwise their track record isn't really that good... Still, I think it would be foolish to underestimate them at this point. To everyone saying that there's no chance of making a bigger game than World of Warcraft, I can only remember a time when IBM said that no one would ever need a computer in their house. |
