Forums - Sony - Sony re third party: Build it and they will come

zuvuyeay on 11 June 2013

well we have to wait and see what is a great effing platform,they must be both developer friendly but if you can afford to money hat why not,games are good,we only really saw big action/shooters and indies not a lot else we should get some great big rpg's this gen of all types,like genome said the japan effect really helps sony i think

can't see there being much difference in graphics,bells and whistles but it won't stop the merry go round

Lack of third party exclusives announced at Sony's conference isn't such a big deal. Why? Third party exclusive deals that truly matter are too expensive and MS isn't buying them either. (not putting down MS exclusives, they've come out surprisingly strong. And I was too a little disappointed in Sony's conference) If gamers will prefer (playing games on) a certain system, they will buy multi-platform games for that system. Gamers will decide in the end which console gets the best third party support.

MS is throwing a lot of money around, that is certainly visible. Sony doesn't have much money to throw. They can't out-money MS right now, they just can't. I don't believe PS4 will be sold at a loss either. MS is being a bully, but Sony will be that smart nerd who ends up with his girlfriend.

Sony did the most important thing. They built a great f***ing platform. The developers' praise tells you enough about which platform they will prefer working on. The consumers have spoken too (though not yet with their money). That will take care of the rest. And exclusives? Yes, there will always be great exclusives. Sony ain't gonna f*** that up. Just because MS is stepping up their game doesn't mean that Sony is falling behind.

PS: plus you know which console will have the best looking versions of third party titles, right? :) (excuse if this post ends up incorrectly parsed and without any paragraphs, I'm posting from mobile)

Edit: (De-wall-of-texted by TruckOSaurus)

No, sell it and they will come.

Sony is in a great position with their $399.  At price match Microsoft would be well and truly on top of this race, long before it has actually begun.

But, clearly Microsoft has decided not to go that way, which seems silly to me, so Sony are likely to have a great start at least.

Nothing beats George Washington. Not even a well-designed console!

3rd Party exclusives are great to have, but I"d rather have Sony invest that money into their 1st party and PSN Infrastructure. Besides, publishers are in no shape to ignore half of their potential market.

Sony is spending that money on more 1st party exclusives than M$. Sony will have 20 1st party exclusives 12 being new ip's in its first year vs. M$' 15 exclusives 8 being new ip's. M$ blew through most of their exclusives at just this year's e3 while sony still has so many more to come possibly at tgs, (Naughty Dog at VGA?) and next year's e3 :D

Indeed.    M$ already used most of their assets at E3 to "Kill Sony"; and now in the upcoming months they wont get much new stuff to show; unless they begin announcing games that are for 2015-2016. 

Right now there are 5 1st party PS4 games announced; and I expect at least 2 more of those 20, that are coming this year, to be shown before launch.

The only game worth talking about from the 360 camp was titanfall other besides that it was pretty meh. So because MS threw their money around for some timed exclusives they some how are winning? lol What ever people. Not even close. Sony still have a full deck while ms has played their cards.

Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

The only game I didn't like from the E3 was Titanfall (And another Halo, duh)  =/ Opinions are opinions, not facts. I am hyped for Dead Rising 3, Sparks and D4.
