Maybe if you want to spin things then yeah thats what i said. Still doesn't confirm what you said.  Which was releasing new hardware every six years is milking. Which its not. it is normal technology progression. you are just completely ignorant and are now just trying to justify that ignorance

fixed

It doesn't have to be about PS4, you mentioned KZ4 as well. Also, when I mentioned PS4 I was harping more on the name than the simple act of releasing new hardware, which is why I spelled out and bolded the word Four instead of just typing it numerically. The moral of the story is milking is milking. Of course this makes Sony look hypocritical, so you're going to apply levels to milking, as if it makes a difference.

pezus said: DirtyP2002 said: morenoingrato said: Oh! Yay! Another Mario game! Anyway, with all this stealth attacking, Sony is raising the bar really high for this 20th. They better show something mindblowing. Why? No matter what Sony shows, fans will make it like something mindblowing. They could show a turd with pencils in it and the internet will go nuts over this anyway. It doesn't matter which games are shown or teased, the internet will go crazy. Look at the games Sony released last year. Some guys here said PSABR will be such a great game and even predicted sales in the 4-5 million region. Look how people got crazy for The Last Guardian in... I guess it was 2009. It actually won E3 awards for best game of the show (which tells you something about those awards as well). Look how people praised the NGP, which became the Vita. 3DS was basically doomed for months. I expect a few teasers and trailers and the internet will be like 'Sony has the best 1st party lineup of all times!'. In reality, it is freaking hard to work with Sony as a studio these days. Vita was praised because people believed the price was good and because people believe games were coming. The hardware is obviously awesome, that's what people saw at the time. Then Nintendo dropped the price of 3DS by 30%... I give this post overall 2/10 Last line = wat? You appear to be breeding a lot of hate. Let it flow through you.

No matter why people praised the Vita - it was not deserved. 1 year in and it is basically dead. The internet went nuts over one of the biggest flops in the history of Sony. And I keep hearing "The hardware is awesome!" but I don't see it to be honest. Care to explain what makes the hardware so awesome? It can't be the analog-sticks that is for sure. I can't be the resolution either.

So yeah, Sony could introduce another major flop like the PS Vita and the fans would still praise them.

And yeah, it is freaking hard to work with Sony as a studio.

You are just completely wrong. I guess MS is milking xbox and nintendo is milking Nintendo and ford is milking ford and should still have the model T for everyone. And samsung is mlking their phones

How would such a thing be determined? Platinum Games might self-censor in order to appeal to broader audience, like they did with...

...oh wait. MadWorld is actually strong evidence that given the freedom, Platinum will do whatever they feel like irrespective of platform.

So the decline of the Japanese development industry had nothing to do with the rapid expansion of development in the west?  It was all because of CDs?  None of which would have happened if FF7 had stayed with Nintendo?

Not only is that amazingly simplistic, it's also kind of silly.

today looking at FFVII PlayStation ad is extremely funny, just look at the entire Japanese videogame market, when they betrayed Nintendo they were pinnacle of video game industry, today after 3 generations with Sony they're globally irrelevant.

Look at Square the success of FFVII was in fact beginning of their demise, look at them today at their lineup (iOS games) and after all sales FFType0 are on pre SFC level.

The only globally relevant part of Japanese game industry are handhelds (exactly the part Nintendo always dominated) and Nintendo.
