I haven't been going off of anything other than what I have heard in this thread, I'm not jumping on any bandwagon, just rolling with the direction of the thread. Next, Sony always milks every franchise down to the bone and they have so many sequels for their games you really shouldn't say shit about MS(although they do it as well). Every company does it, Microsoft in my eyes has been the worst thus far this generation. Gears 3 will outsell LBP2, KZ3, and Infamous 2 combined, plus if even half of these titles are announced MS will once again blow Sony away in software sales. Maybe in the short-term. Time will tell if LBP2, KZ3 have legs and how good Infamous 2 is. And currently, the 360 really isn't beating the PS3 in software sales with really no true games until Gears 3 at this point. You are going to say that about Gears but look at Sony milking UC and KZ for all its worth, so once again you are not allowed to comment. Killzone 2 and Killzone 3, (2) games. I already mentioned Uncharted (Is in a similar situation to Gears of War). I am hopeful for MS E3 conference and I would like to see how this hybrid tech is going to work with hardcore games, but I'm gonna be patient and wait for people to announce things officially, instead of buying into every rumor on the net.
That's fine, they may surprise us all with great announcements. I just don't see it. They don't have first party studios to support the type of quality software library that their core wants and it's increasingly harder to convince third parties to make exclusive franchises for their system. So they are banking heavily on Kinect, Halo, Fable, Forza, and Gears right now. I don't think the hybrid tech is ready to take off this generation and quite frankly, I find it a little absurd to be talking about 'Hybrid' tech and being excited about something we've never really seen working in any tangible, viable way. I find it much more plausible that they get 10 new Kinect IP games (Many of which being shovelware from developers trying to cash in on the Kinect-extravaganza). Which again only reaches around 1/5 of the entire 360 fanbase. I believe the other 4/5 of the 360 fanbase would prefer more games catered to them. |
