Exactly; this isn't about being needlessly frugal, it's about being downright destitute as a company. Running around throwing money at developers to get exclusive content with no guarenteed returns at this point would be ridiculous.

I'm not even sure what you're arguing.

You cherry pick some 360 games, compare them to your favorite PS3 games, and then talk about some man made of straw.

Sony had a lot of good games that would have been forgotten if they weren't published by Sony. They only have a few noteworthy games, so lets stop pretending Sony has an amazing catalogue of games. That just isn't the case.

I'm gonna need your definition of "noteworthy". These games are all hovering around 80 or higher metascores and DCOU (despite not scoring as well) is a really popular MMO on PS3. Even if these games were 3rd party, they'd be worth playing. Meaning, they are worth noting.....noteworthy. I don't know how you consider the bar "low" when mentioning those games, when Uncharted 3 and LBP2 are some of the best games in the gen, KZ is a great shooter that's is spoken in the same sentence as a Halo, CoD, or BF. GT6 is the definitive racer of the gen. So on and so forth.....that's a low bar?

And I saw in some other comments that you tried to belittle Infamous by saying "well then, Crackdown is noteworthy as well". Well....Crackdown came out in 2007, so it shouldn't even be in this discussion of "noteworthy games in the last few years". Secondly, Crackdown is a great game, and if this conversation was happening in 2007, I'd put it on a list of "noteworthy games made by MS". To try and compare a newer great game to an older great game.....and use that as a means to bring them both down, by saying the bar is "low"....pitiful

Don't try and bring down Sony's games because Microsoft hasn't made many themselves. That's why you had to reach for Crackdown. Because nobody is talking about it right now (since it's 7 years old), you use that to bring down the likes of Infamous 2 by saying they're comparable. What noteworthy titles has MS made in the last few years? Oh, Gear: Judgment? Well then Resistance 2 is automatically noteworthy.

See what I did? Took a legitimate game relevant to the discussion, and brought it down with a "comparable" game that nobody is talking about only because the game is old, not because it's not good or worth playing. Try and keep things apples to apples, please

If you could fix your car yourself, why wold you hire a mechanic to do it? Sony has plenty of really, really talented studios. You'll see some 3rd party exclusives but not many, most will be first party.

WTF? Sony does have an amazing catalogue of games, it single handedly turned Ps3 around despite everything else going wrong.. You saying otherwise doesn;t make it so. All you are doing is downplaying everythign sony, making excuses for everything MS.

Ms has many games that would have been forgotten had they not been published by MS, again we already went over that works both ways. Try to be a bit more objective.

What do you mean by "sony has two dev teams now"?

Two team devs*  Team 1 and team 2 in other words.  Example Naughty dog last of us and naughty dog uncharted

Cheap they are buying a chip factory for like 7 billion yen

Oh, my mistake, the wording threw me off.

Sony has more GOTY nominated games than Microsoft. Thats not even worth mentioning. Nintendo puts up more of a challenge to Sony there. In the latter portion of last gen Microsofts top Xbox GOTY were mostly multiplats. Sony's were mostly exclusives.
