Forums - Microsoft - Are sony competing against both microsoft and the pc market?

Ok, i'll break this down......... no one can deny that there are close ties between microsoft and the PC world

allow me to elaborate

Left 4 Dead- pc/360

Gears of war- pc/360

Dead island- pc/360

The protector- pc/360

The precursors- pc/360

APB- pc/360 ect ect ect

Huxley- pc/360

White gold: war in paradise- pc/360

 

I think microsoft will really start to push their pc/360 alliance dominence over the next couple of years

 

Valve truly dislike sony

Id are not all that keen on sony either

Can microsoft really get a foot hold in the gaming market by keeping close ties to the pc world?

Or can games like resistance 2, killzone 2 and MAG change sonys fortunes?

i think the fact that these games are on PC means people who want them dont need to buy a 360

From your list it seems Microsoft is competing with the PC market, not Sony.



ya, really the 360 is getting killed by Windows Gaming. lol

Nobody to blame but Sony. They purposely made it a pain in the ass for many developers when they chose the Cell and forced many companies to have to rewrite their code and extend development cycles.

To add insult to injury Sony forces most if not all companies that experience delays to either delay all SKUs of their product or release the PS3 version later with added exclusive content (adding even more costs for developers).



Either way, Microsoft gets money from whichever system they buy the game for, so they don't care.



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

 Fair point, but microsoft been close to pc gaming is helping them get more and more exclusives and therefore not everybody is gonna want to pay say £600+ for a decent pc, surely a console thats available at £199 that has almost as many games as a PC has is bound to appeal to people eventually

Im not saying pc gamers will suddenly buy 360's but some could due to the cheaper price

well said



Microsoft are by no means competing with the pc world, but as i said, due to microsoft and pc gaming kind of becoming closer and cloaer surely that can not be good news for sony........ i mean wheres Huxley , APB, The precursors, White gold: war in paradise for the ps3 ect?

i know sony have good in house developers and killzone 2, resistance 2 ect could be good games, my point is..... can sony eventually compete with the sheer amount of games that not only the 360 has available but the sheer amount thats also in the pipeline, lets not forget portal: still alive for example as well as the above mentioned games............
