To me if Sony can be Japan only like Nintendo , it would be the best thing they'd ever do.
Screw their US and UK studious their best games are made by Japan studios , heck they made some of the best games EVER made, while Sony of america getting overpaid to make generic shit.


Ignore their biggest money makers? Obviously, you're a Microsoft / Nintendo agent sent here to try to lead Sony into destruction.

Don't listen to him Sony! If you do, you'll be dead immediately!

It's my own revenge against uncharted

As a PS fan, I kind of agree...

I disagree with Naughty Dog and Sucker Punch and in Santa Monica and GG's case I think he's exaggerating somewhat, but it's true that Sony haven't managed their developers too well. Don't get me wrong, Sony have done excelent in expanding their studios and bringing us great exclusives, but at the same time there are some decisions that are questionable and that have cost them sales.

I think Sony should close some studios like they did with Zipper (not mentioned by OP), market their games better and yes, choosing better dates for some games and trying to avoid long delays.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

their studio management is not horrible

the only thing horrible is their profits and their advertising department


So you dont think they handled Gran Turismo 5 the wrong way?

You dont think it was a big deal that LBP2 missed a holiday release?

Its acceptable for a studio to release only one PSN game in SIX YEARS?

Releasing major games on PS2 well after the PS3 was in stores and had no games?

 

Come on man.... it's terrible management. There is no excuse for any of that stuff. 

Sony has to cooperate with their studios.

 

Sony doesnt have to cooperate with their studios. Sony OWNS the studios and can make changes within those studios any time they want. Therefore the studios have to cooperate with what Sony wants.

and dont forget Sony pulled deverlopers from Polyphony to get PSP-GT out before GT5. So Sony is at fault for GT5 being delayed so much.

yea and that's why Sony has to give them time to make the game, genius

that doesn't mean anything because Polyphony was already taking forever to release GT5 at that point

GT5 being delayed means that Sony originally wanted the game to release at that specific time but the developers weren't "finished" yet

I don't know if it's worth keeping London Studio, Cambridge Studio, Bend Studios... I would at least make them into a single studio or something. Not that they've done anything horrible, but I think Sony should focus more on the ones that are really successful.

Sony's biggest problem has always been marketing. Big releases like the Twisted Metal, Starhawk, LBP2, and Infamous 2 had next to no marketing. The Vita was probably the biggest disappointment in terms of marketing. The only game that Sony has marketed extremely well was Uncharted 3 and look how well that turned. It's actually outsold and outselling Skyward Sword, a game from a much older franchise.I I hope All-Stars gets a decent marketing campaign because they haven't advertised any other games this year.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Touch London Studios and I will hunt you down with a spork!
