It is a post replying a man who said Microsoft don't take risk on a thread about why Heavy Rain was turned down by Microsoft, yeah.


Right-o. This post made it seem like you were saying Sony wouldnt take the risk, when followed up woth your new IP post.

Sorry for the confusion.


Did you honestly linked a post that is like...eight post behind yours?

Sony successfully broke the shackles of gaming being always tied to children and juveniles.That is actually one of the main reason I love them so much.

well they missed out on 3million sales and over 100$ million revenue. however the most important thing to note here is that Microsoft was very much scared to take a risk here, while sony was not.

Yes, very important stuff. Thanks for making that clear.

It should also be noted Sony passed on the Kinect. Sony was too scared to make the investment in Kinect, but MS did and it was a massive success.

Would be better to invest more on Eye or Move that they were already developing... better for MS that got a new addition.

it did pass on kinect, because it thought that a 3D camera alone cannot give a proper gaming expience, which kinect proved to be correct

Sounds funny that we are to take anything away from this information. M$ decided not to do a game and Sony did. No lesson or things to read into. I am sure that the same can be said for dozens of games or business decisions. I think the OP is looking a little to hard at it to get anything other than an interesting bit on how one game went through the development cycle.


i think the posters here are taking things to much too heart. when another user on here who is an xbox fan makes over 150 threads a month about anything pro-xbox its considered okay when he just literally spams the forums. but when i make a thread about when of my favorite games i am "trying to hard". note how i did post my personal opinion in a post not in the OP so i wouldnt try to make things an xbox-PS fanboy war. geez, you people need to chill

Trolling your own thread to make your point is still the same thing.  You have admitted you tried to hide it outside the article to avoid the idea that you posted the article just to later make an argument.  It doesn't really matter, as I don't mind people's agendas, just as long a i get the info.  I think that i can come to my own conclusions regardless of the Original posters intent.

Did you read it? I said that post when followed by your post that I originally quoted made it seem that way.

Its now irrelevant and off topic, so Im dropping it. It matters not
