Critical lesson Sony (hopefully) learnt this gen...

...make your own games and don't rely 100% on third parties (they're finicky)!

Who agrees that Sony used to make more AAA games back in the PSone gen? Then came the PS2 gen and the only AAA games I can think of that were developed by Sony is GT3 & 4

They even made great JRPGs on their own in the PSone gen...LOD anyone?

 

 

No. No. NO.

It was not the third parties who insisted on a $600 console, and told fans that it was a bargain. It was not third parties who told Sony to launch prematurely, so they would be unable to meet demand and create a huge scalper's market. It was not third parties who made a laughable effort to pass six-axis off as something new and revolutionary. 

Sony screwed themselves. They made choices based on what they wanted, not what gamers wanted. They then insulted the audience that carried them to the top with a series of arrogant and misleading statements over the course of 2005 and 2006.

Next time, Sony should LISTEN to the third parties, who told them the PS3 was a folly.

Next time, Sony should listen to the fans, who were happy with their PS2s and not about to part with six bills for a new system.

 

 

 I agree that sony screwed themselves with their hardware costs but that doesn't excuse crappy 3rd party ports like the orange box and quake wars! It also doesn't excuse all the "delayed exclusives" this gen around! However, all this won't be a problem if sony had a stronger, consistent 1st party line-up---thats my point. The flip-flopping of 3rd parties is my reason for calling them finicky. Hell, even S-E, that Sony bought a lot of shares in when they were worthless, is releasing an exclusive and multiple "delayed exclusives for the 360"!
