thats just stupid...i am sorry but no matter what there are games on another macine that will be nice to have, even if its just taking away from teh comp..

 

halo

mass effect series

fable

gears

those other square rpgs that will be exclusive (not sure the names they were mentioned at e3)

too humane (i think its exclusive)

 

i mean spin it like you want but dont play dumb

 

Of course they'll be nice to have, but you can't have a higher up in your company saying that, now can you? If Sony started preying on 360 games....what would that say about the PS3? (Looks at M$ only moneyhatting PS games)

It's all PR

 

I don't see why he couldn't just answer the question. Reggie talked about wanting Media Molecule and Little Big Planet AFTER Sony acquired it.

Does that admit Nintendo's failure because they praise a competitor's product?

Also I don't mind Kaz dodging the question, but his answer was just all wrong. There were so many better ways to spin that then telling the interviewer he'd have to shoot him. You would think with all the money he's making he'd have a little more poise in an interview.

he is not being arrogant he just said he won't take them from microsoft not because of arrogance but because they won't do the dirty work microsoft is doing.

 Exactly how did Microsoft do any dirty work? Kaz Hirai has been known to make stupid statements directed at his market consumers, and at Microsoft. If anyone did dirty work, though smart it was Sony bringing Blu Ray into this gaming war. I don't consider Sony acquring Dev's to be dirty. It's called business. What Sony did to keep Blu Ray alive was use a cheap trick.

Kaz Hirai is a fool. He knows that the 360 has Gems in Forza, Gears, the Halo franchise and more. Sony doesn't focus on the core games for a good year and then the representative admits finally that they are going to focus on games. Luckily MGS4 wont be so lonely at the end of the year. Too bad the shooters will all be generic.

 

Why in the world would Sony want Forza if they could sell much more with GT?

 

 I was showing that Microsoft has Ace cards too and a lovely lineup of games, if you're open minded. GT is a lovely game in itself. It's a known fact that Microsofts hot games are going to gross more than Sonys top games will. I can bet alot that Kaz knows this and it's eating him up inside. Sony guys are good at putting up an extrmely good front. I mean I watched the Post PS3 interviews with Sony representatives and Nintendos lady was Creepy and uneducated, Sonys guy was Shady and wouldn't answer any hardball questions and Microsofts guy took their hardball question like a champ. The installed user base of Sony doesn't even flinch as far as games are concerned. Motorstorms sales were a fluke and only did well because of attachment rates. Sony knows that their shooters are generic. GT is their best selling first party game. The majority of top selling Sony titles are third party. Look it up, you don't have to believe me. I'm getting a PS3 myself and even I know this. Kaz got touched in a really bad way and is putting up a childish front and not taking it like a champ.



This makes him seem rather pathetic and incompetent. absolutely horrid answer.

at the very least...would just saying "next question" really have been too hard?

First of all. Forza would be the last game sony would "take" from microsoft if they magically had a choice. Secondly, this has never been about a "vs" war on who's titles is going to gross more BUT (if you insist) it's hardly a "known fact" as you say that MS's "hot" games will do better than Sony's. If you want to look it up yourself, we can match Sony's biggest franchise against Microsoft's and see what really sells more OR we can match the entire sales of Sony published games and compare with Microsoft published games. Third, what are you talking about "microsoft taking it like champs"are you deluded? Why don't you give us an example of Microsoft taking it like "champs". WTF does that even mean? Ask them why HDD are far overpriced, ask them why 25-33% of all consoles break, ask them why they charge people to play online, ask them where they got the Mii "avatar" idea from, ask them why Windows Gaming is such a poor effort. Lets see your "champs" give another answer other than the same BS that every executive spits. Smell the coffee and get your head out of MS's crack, you'd have to be pretty deluded to think that MS gives straight answers when ask tough questions (which Kaz's question was not).

Your comments such as "motorstorm was a fluke" and "Sony shooters are generic" are way off point. Motorstorm benefited from bundles and a weak library at the time, however, the sequel will still pass 1 million easily. Sony's shooters on the other hand can be generic given different opinions. If R2 and KZ2 is generic, then how about Halo and GeOW? are they supposed to be "original"? cut the crap already.

Finally, I'd like for you explain how Kaz got "touched" in a bad way and how you figure his remarks was "childish". Because he refused to promote his competition's products? Or is it because you're a fanboy that can't stand it when MS isn't getting their balls licked? Or maybe you're upset that a Sony exec is confident in his own product?



LOL I bet if Microsoft would offer Halo3 for the PS3 lots of Sony managers would wield the gun.



Bleh, I hate reading about Sony reps, they always sound like douche bags. Sure they're playing up their console, but isn't there a way to do that that doesn't make your company look like school yard bullies?
