Sony paying for exclusives

I like exclusives, because most of the time they are better developed and look nicer etc, because they were only designed for the PS3

There have been good and bad PS3 exclusives. I don't think there are many stellar examples of the exlusive principle. I think that if you have a game that is developed for multiple consoles and designed and has the potential to sell more, I think it's budget can be higher. The crappy PS3 ports were mainly in the first year, but that isn't surprising since Sony didn't give many developers enough time with the kits and it is a more difficult system to program for.

I think first party exclusives are fine, but for third party developers in a market where there are several different major players, I don't see the benefit for gamers. The only benefit is for the developer if the console manufacturer pulls up with the money truck.

I give that post a 9.2.

Well if we can see the exclusives (uncharted, heavenly sword) really show the potential of the PS3 over the 360, I would like developers to try and push those boundaries and also, things like taking advantage of the BD, even just including a few extra maps on the disk would help the PS3

In reality, Sony should be spending all their money on FF XIII and getting that out of SE as soon as possible, with as much marketing as possible, and they also need to spend tons marketing LBP

 As a gamer, I have no interest in helping the PS3.  I only have an interest in having access to the games I want to play where I want on the console I prefer to play them.  Some games I prefer to play on the 360.  I can see why Sony might want to force me to buy a game for my PS3, but I prefer the choice.  You are right about what Sony should do with FF, that game needs to come out for them.  More important than that is GT5.  That is going to be the true blockbuster for them and it's taking too long.

I give that post a 9.6.
