Less AAA's for Sony is still more IP's than the competition.

First off, while a Sony executive was the one talking about this, this is NOT just an issue facing Sony. It's not about Sony not supporting their console, or about some inability to get developers to support it. So will the haters PLEASE knock it off?

This is an issue with the ENTIRE INDUSTRY. It was talked about at the beginning of the Xbox 360/PS3 generation too. As the graphical complexity of the games increases, so do the costs involved with creating those graphics. Gamers are demanding higher and higher levels of quality, so the costs involved in developing those games increases as well! Take a look at the credits from your average NES or SNES game...then compare it to the credits on, say, Infamous: Second Son, or Assassin's Creed IV. Notice how many more names are on the newer game's credits? Yup, each one of them draws a paycheck for their work!

It's not unlike Hollywood movies. "Blockbusters" cost around $150 million or so (plus marketing), and you usually see a dozen or so per year...and lots more smaller movies all around them. It's NOT the death of the industry to see fewer games being produced, it just means that the games that DO come out will be fewer and further between...with smaller games filling in the gaps left behind.

Personally, I think that this is part of the industry maturing.

So glad I'm not the only one. Ironically, my OG still works while the 360 I got later on as a gift doesn't.

Yea.. I was pretty fine with the og Xbox when it came out. I got big hands so I was specifically fond of the duke, compared to the micros.   Halo 1 & 2, DOA, even the 1st Forza was fun..  I remember specifically having lan parties for halo 1 & 2 mp.. That was fun times.. My OG still works too.. But I've since modded it and use it mainly as an emu console.

It is funny you call it out of date when it very obviously is pushing the boundaries of graphical performance in games. 

I have yet to see a game that pushes gpu's with 3.6tflop performance on pc...

That's bullshit and spoken like a real Fanboy ;) I don't need to own the most powerful console when there are fewer games who maybe use this power ;)

I'm so happy right now that I own a Nintendo Wii U, there will be plenty of awesome games :D

Yawn......I get it Popeye, you have a serious superiority complex. I mean Im bias, but you take it to a whole new level, even going so far as turning Xbox's greatest milestones and making it seem like nothing. "Being out for 10 years = trash". Talk about a sore winner.
