I'm happy that you are sad especially after all you have done lately.

@Zen I completley disagree I don't think Sony ommited to act as they saw their most significant I.P's slip threw their hands , it's my belief that there was Simply nothing they could do . What 3rd party developer would stay loyal purely on the potential userbase of a single console ? What 3rd Party developer would stay loyal purely because of a consoles performance last gen ?.

 

I'm saying they should have paid them, my dear Million. Paid them those oh so hard earned temporary short term profits....like Microsoft. Cut Killzone 2, if you have to. There is all the money you need to secure GTA and FF as exclusives for at least a year each. Then, it's still related to your console. Square-Enix is obviously open to temporary exclusivity. They've given Sony Verses, probably for free, just so people don't realize the moneyhat MS laid in front of them. Verses, along with Star Ocean, will likely be a timed exclusive, as I'm sure you know, but probably wouldn't admit. Like you said, nobody is giving exclusivity away for free. This isn't the PS2 era. Sony doesn't have the money or the marketing position to levy for free exclusivity, they might never have it again.

Either way, there is no argument about the price cut. It's directly related to coasting. "It could give us a competitive advantage, but our first duty is to this quarters earnings report, not the console war, or competing, or anything. Despite this being the ideal time to cut our price and overtake the 360 easily, we give them breathing room."

Read the quote again. The one I posted from the Sony exec, and tell me they are putting competition ahead of short term profits.

The very definition of coasting is: Putting short term profits ahead of competition.

 

My opening paragraph is only a smidget of the overall argument Zeny poo :).

 

Honestly, that's as far as I've got. I realize all the talking points associated with "coasting is a good strat" but I just blatantly disagree. Since they are opinion, there really isn't an need to debate them.



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.

Yeah.

I mean did you see the Heavy Rain public demo?  Or that FFXIII Versus CGI trailer with the swords?

GoW3 and Uncharted are just gravy after those two games.

White Knight Chronicles looks great too.

only problem with the ps360 combo is that depending on your preference, you're only going to play one console for it's exclusives while the preferred console get's all the multi-plats aswell. seeing as the ps3 is likely to be the former for you, do you really think it's worth the price tag for the amount of time you're likely to put into it?

Now? No.

But at $AU500, early next year in a slow games period for the Wii and Xbox 360?

Adding in Blu-Ray for our (admittedely small) HDTV?
