Your entire busisness like conduct argument makes me literally sick to my stomach. As a consumer business should be trying to please ME, and all others like me. Businesses these days are like rockstarts/actors. Their entire purpose in life is to amuse me, in return I give them my money. The same as when an Actor/famous person "sells out" the fans shun them and no longer want anything to do with them.
This is what SE has become, this is why people across the globe are infuriated. Any REAL gamer does not care for what system a game is on, this is true. But real gamers also want THE BEST game possible. Games that use what they have available to them to become the greatest. SE PROMISED time and time again that this game would be PS3 exclusive, that it would take virtually FULL advantage of the system's architecture. Now the game will need to be "EQUAL" with it's 360 counterpart just as all other MP games have been.
Also, Versus was not kept out of pity. Nomura, a respectful game designer, wanted it to stay exclusive. He is persuing full specs of the PS3 to the point of no return. Kojima did the same thing. THey both strived to create a game that cannot be replicated anywhere else, after all this is the reason many bought the PS3 in the first place. MS has been doing nothing but "cock blocking" sony this whole console war. REAL business men think more on how to improve themselves, less on how to bring down the competition. MS is the reason it took so long for Sony to settle the rumble dispute, MS is the reason Sony could not simply put in all the functions in PSN. Timed exclusivity is a joke, its only purpose is to keep people from buying PS3s because if the games came out at the same time the PS3 would probably dominate in most cases.
Every time you speak you seem to have some underlining hatred for Sony. I would actually like to know what that might be. MS is the one shafting the common consumer because of their ignorance with their rediculous pricing strategy. Everyone with a brain knows the upkeep of a 360 costs more then a PS3. MS is the one so desperate for 1st place they forced themselves to come out a year early just to beat Sony to the punch. MS is the one using a last gen format that has proved to be conflicting with what developers are persuing this gen(RAGE anyone?). In return they got plagued with the infamous RRoD. MS's system is the one riddled with other issues such as blatent overheating, disc mutilation, overpriced essential accessories. I mean come on you come out with a nxt gen controller that does not have a RECHARGABLE BATTERY!
And how is Sony cocky? At least anymore then any other company that has been successful in a field 2 times in a row? Yes, they are a bit high on themselves but thats becuase they are actually GOOD AT WHAT THEY DO!
If anything, Sony did things RIGHT this gen. THey waited to get into the ring, more focused on a quality product. They delay products to insure it's quality is the best it can be. They push the industry forward, MS holds it back. |
Sony pleased themselves and not the consumers (The mass of the consumers last gen) by coming into the game with their own corporate ends to meet (And not yours). Blu Ray and media control were all apart of the plan. Did the fans ask Sony for that? NO! Important shareholders wanted it. Sony is not like an actor, Sony is a business...that can have its way as long as it makes a mark on consumers within each lifetime of its systems. People don't have to love businesses these days, they just have to be satisfied by what they offer (IE: Their disposable goods) enough until the next iteration. The ethics of business has changed (If you haven't noticed). Look at the world around you.
SE promised a good FFXIII game. The game was developed on the PC and then moved to the PS3 and then the 360. It will as powerful as they expected and intended for it to be in the first place. They said it themselves. PS3 fanboys use graphics and the power of Blu Ray as a crutch because they don't want the game to be multiplatform. If you want the game, stop being a child and play the game. Be the gamer that only you know you can be. The game was going to turn out a certain...wayyyyyy before they thought about putting it on the 360. Obviously their financial projections told them that they would needed extra revenue and the 360 was the perfect system to add to help out. Even if it sells less it will give them what they need. I am the true gamer who plays systems for only their use to amuse him? Why? I care not for gaming politics just as long as I know which system will have the most games. The system that usual resides around market price will sell the most. The Wii is below the market price and actually by production costs truthfully costs around $180 dollars. They are making hand over fist as you can see. When they feel threatened by the competition they will drop the price.
Kojima has a loyalty to Sony and I respect that. He also did want to create a visually superior game (Which of course he partially regrets not focusing more on gameplay). MGS got 10/10 and I doubt Kojima would be wanting to give it 10/10. That was all politics. He wasn't satisified with MGS4 because it was majority a cinematic phenomenon rather than gameplay. This is why he cannot keep himself away in an artistic approach and wants to work on another MGS. Konami would love to make the game multiplat so they could make the most money, but Kojima said no, so thats that. I'm not bitching about it, i'll have the game soon enough. In fact when it happened I was playing a game with friends and went on said "Clever girl" with cocky smile on my face.
I don't hate Sony, I know that the people running Sony at first could give two shits about gaming besides for the fact of it bailing the out of obscurity. They owe everything to this phenomenon which gained marketshare and made them the cockiest bastards on earth. It was Kutagari who talked them into even bringing the Playstation into existance...and they laughed at him, while they were getting their asses handed to them by other companies. I hated the first Xbox and played the PS2 and the gamecube last gen, but I told the fanboys of the PS2 to be weary that they are dealing with Microsoft a brand that isn't stupid and is just as bloodthirsty as Sony is. To ask me how Sony is cocky is not to know their history. Being dominant for two generations only made them cockier.
If you think Sony did the right thing this gen, then I guess you'll see a larger extension of Blu Ray. Blu Ray isn't needed in economies that are majority satisfied with DVD players that Sony helped bring in with in the first place. The majority of people see Blu Ray is redudancy and tech nerds see it as something that is needed. Guess who are the majority are?
Of course...don't worry though. Sony will catch up to Nintendo and devour them this gen. LOL yes...they will.
