You sound like Jack Tretton now, replying to sales problems with the 10 year lifecycle. Sorry to inform him and you, but that's not going to convince anyone but Sony themselves and their fanboys. It doesn't seem to convince Konami and Square Enix, for example.

Sony needs to start selling and soon. Let's see if this "price cut" does the trick!

 


I hope not, I'm not trying to sound like a corporate shill. On another note, it also hasn't dissuaded them from keeping MGS4 or FF XIII exclusive to Sony. Also, I didn't say anything about 10 years, I was simply pointing out the small amount of time that has passed.

The price cut will help but it isn't going to be a console saver by itself.


I'm not saying you said the same as him, but similar content. Announcing MGS4 or FFXIII for other consoles before those games launch would be stupid, as it would decrease their sales. So yes, for now, those games are exclusive to the PS3. But you did see these news, right? :

Sony needs to either write a fat check to those companies, or make the PS3 sell well soon, or else...

 


Yeah, It's not positive news for Sony. But if I was a developer and I had exclusives(for now) coming out on the PS3, I would want them to get a lot more hardware out there as well. Judging by the conferences the last couple of days, I think Sony has a lot of good looking First/Second party exclusives coming out that can tide them over just fine until the sales pick up. It may very well be that in a couple of years we look back and say "Jesus, what was Sony thinking", but as of now I just don't think they are in as much trouble as a lot of people do.
