rule of thumb... don't trust wikipedia... thats what my teachers say lol



“Absolutely, we can do much more with it. I don’t know if we are even close to 50 percent of PlayStation 3’s power at this point,” said Asmussen about God of War 3.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME???

Isn't that the oddest thing you've seen all day?

They're different subsidiaries.  From what I've heard, Pictures and Computer Entertainment don't work together, much like most of Sony's subsidiaries are fragmented.

Yeah I know but it's odd that Sony would make a movie based on a Nintendo franchise.

No. Mom says I'm different.


What a coincidence. My mom said that too!

But my mom > your's, obviously.

Or His mum = your mum, they he's your BROTHA!! But the reverse might not be true.

OT: SCE and SPE are two different subsidiaries of Sony, it's possible then.

Sony bought the rights for the whole Pokemon franchise.

Also, end of the world.

That's my point:  when it comes to making business decisions, Sony Pictures and Sony Computer Entertainment are essentially two unrelated companies, with each caring more about its own bottom line than that of Sony as a whole.  So if Nintendo licenses a property into a movie, a Sony Pictures company would see no conflict in helping to make it. 

Remember, Sony Pictures has the right to license videogames based on the Spiderman movies, but those games were still multi-platform rather than Sony exclusive.  The reason is that Sony Pictures could get more money from licensing multi-platform titles, rather than just PS2/PS3 exclusives.

Yep. Sony is practically an electronics conglomerate.
