MMM...... All I got from this was

"We got more games coming. Games that will run only on the PS3 (I would assume so since they are first party...) watch out."

 

That's actually true. The only games that I assume are being referred to are first party.

Considering the 360's current library, imo, they would have to put out quite a ass-ton of first party games to reach that oh so unattainable gamerankings equality.

While I don't subscribe to gamerankings myself, I do believe that the site breeds inferiority compex and false assertions about a ton of games. According to them, Uncharted, and Elite Beat Agents aren't AAA, but Winning Eleven 6 and NCAA Football 2004 are.

That said, I guess the speaker could be talking about future games, and pretending like the past and back library doesn't exist. Even then, however, Sony surely must be putting out quite a lot more first party games than they are in 2008, if they want to be significantly better than what Microsoft probably has planned. Especially since MS can also get its exclusives from 3rd party publishers.

Now, granted, there are a couple of big 3rd party games for the PS3, but those are gonna dry up, and since Sony isn't investing anymore in 3rd parties, we'll have very few games sticking with the console out of the "loyalty > profit" mantra.

In essence, I don't know how Sony is gonna keep up with Microsoft exclusives and exclusive content, since they are no longer paying for 3rd party support, as stated by them. Much less how they are gonna absolutely dominate them, like it says in that interview.

It certainly is possible, but I just don't see the plan. I think it's PR.

Anyway, lets looks at the Sony exclusive lineup for PS3:

 

SOCOM

LBP

R2

Rachet and Clank Future Untitled sequel

Killzone 2

Heavy Rain

God of War 3

MAG

ICO 3

Team ICO game untitled

WKS

FFVerses13

 

Now lets looks at the upcoming 360 exclusives lineup(with assumption that these games may/will also appear on PC):

 

Banjo

Gears 2

Fable 2

Halo Bungie untitled sequel

Halo 4

Halo Wars

Alan Wake

Star Ocean 4

 

...and Left 4 Dead, we'll chalk up to moneyhatting and Valve being understaffed, or whatever you want.

 

I think that yes, certainly Sony has a small advantage there.

However, the overall library for those systems is significantly in the favor of the 360 in my, and most people's honest opinions.(at the very least it's a generally accepted myth)

And even though the PS3 has an edge in upcoming releases, doesn't mean we have seen everything from either company.

So, basically, how the hell is the PS3 destroying Microsoft in future games releases? I think that with multiplats, the future libraries are both really, really close, considering that the multiplats make up about 80 or 90 percent of all the games that come out anyway.

If this was World of Warcraft, we would call a transition from 360 to PS3 future libraries a sidegrade. We could call overall libraries a downgrade. In the world, we call it comparing apples and oranges.

The Sony exec basically said, "Oranges are gonna pwn apples even harder in 2009, because we have a lot tastier oranges coming down the line than ever before." except their Oranges used to be sour and mostly sucked until MGSOrange came out. It's cocky and arrogant, and as an apple and orange lover, it offends me.

they are not paying 3rd support but they are getting it, all the games from capcom are going multiplatform and looking at the huge base it have now it will continue getting.

third party exclusive are more likely a thing from the pass even m$ won't be getting so easy or getting at all in the future.

even valve is considering ps3 development.

whats the take? focus on first party.

and sony and nintendo got a great ground in this m$ don't.

You think Microsoft has bad first and second party development?  Bad enough that the PS3 will "dominate" them simply due to Sony's first party projects?

So, this Sony exec says that Sony will dominate Microsoft because it's first party development, which makes up about 3 percent of the games on the console, is better than Microsoft's 3 percent?

Are you saying you believe this guy? Are you defending him?

Maybe you can explain to me then, how exactly the 1-3 first/second party games released a year, by Sony, will make the PS3's library dominate the 360s, despite the 360 also having first/second party development of games like Halo 4 and Gears of War. Especially when the PS3's library already has some catching up to do.

You say that first party development will make the PS3s release list dominate the 360s, or at least you defend the man who made such an assertion, despite the fact that the 360 is also buying exclusive 3rd party development in the future, and Sony has stopped that practice. It's not debatable. It's simply untrue, assuming your definition of domination is being obviously better by a considerable margin.

1st/2nd party games are only a small percentage of games released on the PS360. Most games are multiplats, or by 3rd parties. Both companies have a slow but steady stream of quality 1st/2nd party titles. How the hell could Sony use that slow but stead 3 percent of games released on its console to completely dominate the 360's upcoming library? Simple answer, it can't. That's marketing spin, and buying/defending it is fanboyism.

 



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

I won't believe ANYTHING they have to say until they close the 5 MILLION UNIT GAP between the PS3 and the 360. Until then, makes games and keep yourself quiet.

Confidence is not the same thing as cocky.

Assertive is not the same thing as hyperbole.

Pride is not the same thing as arrogance.



Some of you would do well to learn the differences.

Actually, they do mean the same thing, except maybe the "assertive > hyperbole" example. It's just how we percieve them. However, I can't see any fair minded person percieving these comments as anything but cocky arrogance. You realize he asserted that with 1st party games, which make up max 10 percent of games on either console, he would totally dominate the 360's release list. Assuming that Sony can manage to have more exclusive games than Microsoft, how many more would they need to dominate? It's silly. Don't be biased.

Unless you're saying the opposite of what I think you're saying.

I agree with this man.

well it makes me feel better that my investment into the ps3 was a great idea. i buy a console because of its lifespan 10yrs is great, xbox360 has too many similarities games wise to a pc and considering how the xbox support or there lack of after a few years.

i see a few xbox fanboys saying how ms will beat sony and will beat them with a new console when it comes out sooner. seriously do u really want ms to bring out another console so soon? considering how great there support for previous products are?(sarcasm) well good luck with that, meanwhile the ps3 and ps2 are still happily sitting side by side being played on, with new games and new accessories.

but all is well, competition is healthy, i wouldnt want any one of the 3 giant companies to be the only console makers. that would be a horrible thing for consumers.
