The games Sony has secured is based on a hunch and not what will draw in major amounts of people. MS played it smart plain and simple. Sony needs to play up the lower price until their exclusives come or have some majorly hot titles come out quickly. Thats all I am saying.

More like fanboy made vid...

Sony didnt secure anything on a hunch. They just supported developers better and had better policies. Simple as that. MS played it smart by doing what? They had little to do with titanfall (which isnt even exclusive). As for your perception comment ill just point to sales

All of Microsofts decisions are purely based on Sonys. I like Sony because they take more risks, but guess what ? They aren't always calculated.

That is the point - THEY DON'T!

IF they milked their franchises to death, Halo 4 would not sell 10 million units.

For point 1. Sure GT6 is not that long on the market yet, but it is obvious it won't even reach 50% of GT5 in the next 2 years. That was my point, the sales dropped. And GT6 released 7 years after the PS3 launch - so did Halo 4.

Point 2. New gen, nuff said. PS4 is hot right now and there aren't any big games coming out to compete against.

Point 3. I used every game and did not care about bundles. Halo 3 and Halo Reach were bundled as well and MS confirmed that Halo 4 was the best selling Microsoft game ever.

I never said MS games are better by default. They are just bigger games (in terms of sales) and MS understands how to use them properly. Sony is really bad when it comes to the management of their studios and game portfolio. The only studio producing good games that actually sell in a reasonable period of time is Naughty Dog.

Look at SCE Japan: Team ICO created 2 games in 13 years (!!!) and the only "game" they released for the PS3 was a remake of these first 2 games. They failed to release a new game for a whole generation. Isn't that ridiculous? Imagine how big their franchises could be if they were managed the right way. A new (quality) ICO-game every 2-3 years should not be too much to ask for.

Look at Polyphony Digital and the Gran Turismo debacle. 5 years for GT 5 and it received average / mixed reviews. GT 6 scored even lower and sells worse than any GT before.

Look at Santa Monica 2 games in 8 years and one of them flopped. So much potential wasted. Sure they helped other studios, but those games flopped as well. (PSABR, Sorcery, Starhawk)

And that were just the studios. It is a slap in Sonys face that Microsoft builds up a TV studio from the scratch, hires great staff and produces a TV series for their franchises, before Sony even thought about it. Sony has one of the biggest and best movie studios on this planet FFS! Why don't they use it to promote their games as well?

A "The Last of Us" TV series might have been something, don't you think? It can be successful for non-gamers and can make these viewers curious to try the game. On top of that, it would be a cool fan service for the core base.

A lot of people say, Sony fails with their marketing of these titles, but this is not true IMO. They fail to manage their studios well.

This has nothing to do with "bad marketing is to blame that game XYZ did not sell well" or "MS just milks their franchises!". This is a management issue for Sony and MS plays it way smarter right now.

MS did not do a good job for their hardware-pricing. They wanted to cash in and I can understand them, but there were a lot of things they could have done better before the launch. I am not saying they did or are doing everything right, but their portfolio and studio-management is way better than Sonys.

We are going offtopic now... ehm NICE VID!

I dont see anyone here taking it seriously. Are you sure youre seeing correctly?

Oh yes. I don't have fanboy goggles on, so thats nice. :)
