lol at those all new ips that look and play the same...


many "core" nintendo franchises play the same to me - ( mario, dk, kirby etc ) run from one side of a stage to another and jump over obstacles on the way...

try playing uncharted, little big planet and gow the same and see how far you get...

You're cherry-picking the Nintendo titles in your list, but not the Sony ones. Where's Zelda in your Nintendo list. I'm not saying I agree with him, but you're not doing any better, sorry.

2d pltaformers play the same? lol
also, new ips like PSbattleRoyal or LbpKarting?
Also i was not talking just about Sony published games, more about the PS360 library being full of clonic games in genres like FPS, TPS, Beat em ups, Wrpgs and so...

No shit? Is this so obvious?

Well every publisher wants to have games in every genre just to cover as many ground as they can. But that is neither Sonys nor Microsofts fault. Of course there a lot of FPS, TPS, RPG, Action, Adventure and Strategy games, because that is alomst every genre I can think of. But thats the same with Nintendo.

And the statement: Sony copying Nintendo a lot. Come on it is like saying "When the sun shines it is warm". LBP Carting, Battle Royale, Move are all Nintendo copies, but they made a lot various games on their own in recent future, and I mean major franchises. Nintendos last big franchise was Pikmin.

PS Battle Royal will have quite a few characters, so much in fact they will need DLC. Sony has more known characters  that came to prominance under or around Sony during their first and second gen. It's a game much like Super Smash for Sony fans who want to enjoy the characters.

LBP Karting is a level creation and mascot game as well as a cart racing title. It will give what Super Mario Kart does and more. Mod Nation Racers was a great title but it needed a mascot and even you have to admit Sackboy being Sonys platforming mascot was a good choice. 

Those two games bundled with a PS3 will sell, especially to the younger audience in the holiday season.

Most of the top Nintendo titles were built from side scrolling platforming though. If it wasn't for games like that next level titles like Tomba, Jax and Daxter, Sly Cooper, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro or Ratchet and Clank wouldn't exist. Don't think Sony hasn't thought of investing in the same things.

i don't get your point here tbh

 

edit : although i'd say there's far more variety to be had on 360 and ps3 than the wii

Off the top of my head, Infamous and Uncharted. I remember when I got that game, I was convinced that they were made by the same dev. The controls are extremely similar. Circle equals cover and roll. Same way of shooting. Same sticky fingers platforming. Also, look at how many direct sequels were made. If Nintendo were like sony, we would have had DKCR 1 2 and 3 by now. Same with Mario. We would have had more Metroids too. In fact, I wish that we could have more sequels on Nintendo consoles as long as we don't go Sony's route and sacrifice quality for the sake of pumping out sequels.

P-100 looks fantastic, but they didn't show it in depth at the conference. It's not even about gamer's being insatiable, Nintendo just don't know what gamer's want. They sure as hell don't want Nintendoland and that poor mans Karaoke simulator. Hell they didn't even show off the Warioware game. I had to check that E3 press kit to find out it even exists. Wario Ware may be casual but it's not even half as casual as some of the things they showed on day.

Sony came a generation late for that. Sony went head to head with Nintendo with mostly 3D platformers. 2D gaming prominance was the Genesis vs NES to Genesis vs SNES era. Outside of Tomba I didnt see too many 2D platformers.

sorry but i wholeheartedly disagree with your opinion

 

"If Nintendo were like sony, we would have had DKCR 1 2 and 3 by now"

weren't three mario games just announced at E3?

 

edit : "Also, look at how many direct sequels were made"

...infamous has 1 sequal ...just like dkcr

 

"Sony's route and sacrifice quality for the sake of pumping out sequels."

how has quality been sacrificed?
