Forums - Sony Discussion - Why Are Sony Letting Microsoft Bully Them Out Of Familiar Franchises?

Those franchises were only Sony franchises because Sony was big enough to "bully" everyone else out of the market for a couple generations... they bought plenty of franchises when they were ahead.  It's just now the pricetag is higher and they can't buy as much stuff.

Microsoft isn't bullying Sony. They're gaining their place back.

Yeah you being pedantic and picking apart words and meanings on a tangent made this thread great.

You and BHR seem confused that he is directly referring to sales with the word 'big'. Big directly infers popularity = sales, not how one person or sub-section of a community perceives quality.

Uncharted 2 probably has the best chance of hitting 4 million than the other Sony exclusives - which wouldn't put it far outside Metal Gear Solid 4.



thats right it could but MK is not a console exclusive

the bottom line is that id rather have sony use there $ to create new franchises big or small rather than to get timed exclusives (full exclusiveness like maybe ME and L4D) is another matter i think it shouldnt be done often or at all it hurts the gaming industry

lol how?



 

Not to mention that without new franchises, things get repeatative and stale after a while. IMO, there should be fresh ideas once in a while.

1 it creates fanboys go look at game pages or utube on console exc. there always some1 trash talking saying that this console owns b/c it has this game ect. that would be eliminated if all games were multi or if there was just one console

2 games like uncharted gears l4d ect are not getting to be experienced from as many people as they could of if they were multi causing the game industry to grow at a slower pace

i see gmaing as a form of entertainment very much like movies i mean there both on a disk format and after uve experinced them you dont really go back to them much like moves i dont have to buy different types of dvd players to watch movies 1 dvd player plays them all i think it would be better if there was just one console that plays all the current gen games games

"i think its b/c sony are focusing on creating NEW and BIGGER franchises"

when will we see these NEW and BIGGER franchises you speak of? there has only been one big new franchise this gen from sony, Uncharted... but thats nowhere near as big as the ones you mention.

I think your view is wishful thinking.... its nothing to do with that and everything to do with margins and profit... game makers need to sell more to more gamers.. pure and simple.

That's incredibly ironic coming from you, the guy that had anti 360 and mocking RROD youtube videos in your profile.



 

no 1 console that will play all games halo gears mgs nsmb kart ect

it would be hard for the wii to play KZ2 or halo

nintendo MS and sony should make just 1 together

ps3 or 360 for this gen is the perfect candidate take the wii controls add them to it and have all multi plat games and exclusives run on one console

if i like one or 2 games from the wii or 360 its not going to make me run out and buy there console im sorry, but if there games all ran on the ps3 or just one (console) i would buy the games i like, now they are loosing a sale to me b/c of this and im sure that there are alot of other 1 console only people that feel the same way that they dont want to go out and buy another console

@ seece im still anti 360 and wii there are facts that are negative about those consoles that i just agree with i would still have all the vids on them but am not allowed too thats y i took them off i didnt just have them to make others feel bad bout there console of choice

1 reason i had them is its a good way of being able to decide who is and who is not obsessed with there console to me if a person is offended with those vids then they are obsessed if there're like me and dont really care which console is better then they wouldnt think much of them and maybe even laugh with the vids some parts where funny

Simple. Microsoft > Sony. As a matter of fact Nintendo > Sony.



Not a 360 fanboy, just a PS3 fanboy hater that likes putting them in their place ^.^
