Sony hasnt revealed most of their games in development. Even a lowered amount of games is still more IP's than the competition. Wouldnt you want a company to push back games for the sake of quality rather than rushing it out? ::Coughs::Ryse::Cough:: MS was desperate to get it out for launch. They were sick of waiting and look what happened. They got an average scoring game. I am not making excuses for Knack either. That game was no system seller itself. 


Every last year launched game was either rushed developed or rushed ported to next gen.

Or do you think Killzone SF was a well polished game?

Sony rushed or delayed their games.

Microsoft strategy was just different from Sony´s, as they didn´t have Fable, Gears or a Halo game in the pipeline.


Killzone SF launched right on time. The problem with SF was with the storyline, but the multiplayer was some of the best ive seen from them in a while. Very streamlined. Sure to bring in the COD fans. Killzone has a lot of growing to do still.

Sony hasnt been rushing their games. MS will rush anything to get the positive public perception off of Sony as quickly as possible and Sony set the bar for when their gen would start. MS is just following them wherever they go because thats all MS ever does. If Sony was to disappear from the industry MS wouldnt know what to do with themselves.

Microsoft had a strategy until february of last year when Sony revealed the PS4 and they went crazy trying catch up because lord knows Sony cant launch without them now. Everyone who followed the development of Sony and Microsofts new consoles knew MS was months behind Sony in development and in February Sony caught them off guard.

Microsoft pays third parties for most of their games in the first three years. Look at last gen. Almost every game that wasnt made by Rare until halo came out was a timed exclusive or an exclusive paid for by Microsoft from third parties. Sony was low on games because the third parties were blocked off from them and their first party came out swinging in late 2007-2008. Uncharted came out and then MGS4 came immediately after that. Having the exclusive of MGS4 helped out big time and helped increase their sales big time. After that Sony's first party took the wheel and showed just how bad Microsoft's first party really is to those who pay attention. Even I made fun of the fact that Sony had no games when I first came to VGchartz and that was in 2008. In 2011 Gamespot made a tally showing how many IP's Sony had created over both Nintendo and Microsoft. Its astonishing really.
