Forums - Gaming - Should SONY go beyond third party?

 

Sony must go...

4th Party is not enough, 6th is better 20 50.00%
 
Out of the console race 2 5.00%
 
Nintendo is doing good, I think 9 22.50%
 
MS obliterates everything 7 17.50%
 
Total:38

Their games division was not a shining light either. Blaming tvs or other poorly performing branches of sony while forgetting or marginalizing the financial disaster that was the ps3 is delusional. 

 

If you're not making money or losing billions you have to question why bother in this endeavor. The op may be joking, but in all honesty Sony probably would be the most likely candidate to go third party. They are already heavily dependent on third party support. If that support wasn't there Sony could not sustain itself in this business. 



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

We should demand Playstation Now on WiiU

I look at MS and I am proud :)

I then look at Nintendo and Sony and my first thought in comparison was : "eww"

No offense but damn is that gap large.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

I think Sony should make exclusives on the Wii U. The combination would be absolutely unstoppable.


Wii U can have its own bad games. Third parties are also doing their work with inferior ports.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

What the heck?

Sony has a lot more business than Nintendo (Tv, cameras, movies, music etc etc etc etc). I´m not sure, but it seems that their videogame branch may be the only one that is not on red currently, or among the few ones who aren´t

Playstation isn't why Sony is sinking. It's all the other shit Sony owns that makes it worth less than Nintendo. Also Nintendo's stocks jumped overnight because of China's lifts on the console ban. Once investors see what the limitations of the ban (if there are going to be any) is and how the Wii U is faring - they will drop it. Nintendo's stock raise is purely by chance and has nothing to do with the sucess of Nintendo's products.

Also, unline Nintendo - Sony makes great hardware. So no I'd rather play games on a Sony console.


I doubt all the ps3 loses gave confidence to the investors.

Sony is profitting off of every Blu Ray player and they have been profitting off of the PS3 for some years now. I think you are talking about the Vita.

PS3 has been turning a profit for the past 4 years now.
