whats there to make sense?

just because you don't like it,it doesn't make sense to you?

I was just putting out a scenario in how Sony could help themselves in North America.

where are these xbox 360 fanboys that are raging as hell btw?

What he says is true of now, but not of the past.

The PS and PS2 were built on GREAT 3rd party exclusive/ timed exclusive support, with minimal 1st party support. The PS3... Not so much.

How many 3rd party exclusives (or timed) have Sony had this gen, when compared to 1st party games? The only notable ones i can think of are MGS4 and Heavy Rain...

Anyway... The underlined...

You think the 360 is going to "destroy" the PS3? Didn't the PS1 end up with over 100 Million units? Compared to the 33M of the 64?

Believe it or not, I have heard of it!    The thing is, I was talking about now and not 10 years ago.  Sony now has 1st party studios out the ears.  That's why Sony has stated that it will not compete with microsoft for 3rd party timed exclusivity deals so I don't understand how what I said is so far from the truth.

And in regards to the old gamers knowing exactly how the battle turns out part.  I can only assume that you think that the 360 will end up destroying the PS3 in sales because of their exclusivity deals?  Or what? 

What if a meteor plunged into our ocean, creating a tidal wave that wipes out all life?

Why talk about it, it's just as likely.

By 3rd party, I'd assume you meant both developed and published by a 3rd party, so Sony had no direct influence, which means Heavy Rain is off the list.

What would be the point? If they were to go ps3 exclusive then it'd make sense to just sign on with Sony directly. Less middlemen.

I doubt they would leave xbox eclusivity just to move to exclusivity on another platform. I doubt they'd risk attempting to move their xbox audience over to the playstation or risk creating a new audience there. No this deal with be for a multi-platform release. That way they get the xbox audience and everyone else aswell.

Yeah, so the PS3 is similar to the N64 and the 360 to the PS1. However, Sony were much more successful with the PS1 than MS were with the 360. So the effect that the Ps1 had on the N64 is similar, but of much greater magnitude.

So no, the 360 did not, and will not destroy the Ps3, however MS 'stealing' a lot of 3rd party support from Sony contributed to the PS3's sales situation.

You talk out of your ass.

Huge waste of money for Sony, unless that game was called "Halo" nobody would care. Think about it, to MS fans Bungie = Halo, and Sony fans have spent the last 5 years calling Bungie anywhere from mediocre to bad. Who would buy it?
