Forums - Sony Discussion - Playstation 3's third party support

a.l.e.x59 on 04 August 2007
The Playstation 3 is a great system. I believe that it will defeat the Xbox 360, in time to come, for it has greater potential than any other console in the world. Whether or not it is using its full potential is debatable, but as it stands, the Playstation 3 is worth the cost. Its Bluray player is spectacular, and exceeds that of HD DVD. It has a great selection of first party titles, now, and soon to come. However, one thing dissapoints me about Sony. The Playstation 3 is losing its exclusives to the Wii, Xbox 360, and even the Playstation 2.

Why are so many games being released on the Wii, Xbox 360, and Playstation 2, but not the Playstation 3? Sony created the Playstation 3, do they not want any games for it? Sony is getting insulted by its rivals, and itself, for even the Playstation 2 is stealing some of its exclusives. It's as if Sony themselves want the Playstation 3 to die, and the Playstation 2 to live. Could you imagine if the Playstation 2 outlives the Playstation 3, much like the Atari 2600 outlived the Atari 5200?

For example, Crash of the Titans, Crash Bandicoot's newest game, which I personally think is horrible, based on what I have seen so far, is being released on the Wii, Xbox 360, Playstation 2, and a few other platforms, except for the Playstation 3. Okay, why isn't the game being released for the Playstation 3? Crash Bandicoot grew up on the Playstation, and now Radical Entertainment, the company that made the game, don't even have the respect to release the game on the Playstation 3, but they will release it on the Playstation 2, and Sony's rivals? I just used Crash of the Titans as an example, but there are many other games that are being released on Sony's rivals, and the Playstation 2, in favor of the Playstation 3.

What is going on here? Either the Playstation 3's exclusives are shared with others, or are just stolen all together. What happened to Sony's awesome third party support? It seems that the Wii in this generation, is the Playstation 2 of last generation, or perhaps even greater. I know that Sony can do better than this. The Playstation 3 is a good system, but it's losing its identity by the fact that it is losing its exclusives!

Nobody cares about Crash Bandicoot.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Okay, I am getting very upset by the fact that the Playstation 3's exclusives are being stolen by the Wii, Xbox 360, and even the Playstation 2.

Least subtle subtle jab at something I have ever seen. Writing 'Ha, shame PS3, your loosing your exclusives!' would have, at least to me, said pretty much the same thing.

Also Crash of the Titans? Who cares tbh? Ever since the PS1 Crash has been rubbish.

Think of it as an early xmas present for Vgforums.

if you care about naughty dog exclusives (ps1 crash bandicoots or the god ones) buy a ps3 and get uncharted. that game will be yet another awesome game on naughty dog's resume.

Totally non-trolling, completely unbiased thread discussion.

"Why is the PS3 so bad?" Or "What do you think: is the PS3 terrible or is the PS3 god awful?" Would have also been appropriate choices.

@ a.l.e.x59

It's really hard to believe you are Ps3's owner... Seriously I think you are not. I can't imagine someone with approach like yours spent $599 for a console.

Alex, by looking at your avatar, I sense you may be just a tad biased against the PS3.

It hasn't been out a year yet, the PS3 is fine. The 3rd parties will come.

Yeah seriously, the early Crash Bandicoots were good, but I for one am GLAD that Naughty Dog ditched the franchise and moved on to other things (like Uncharted and Jak and Daxter).

The Playstation 3 should have sold 20 million units by now? Sony could not have even MADE that many.

What exclusives has the Wii stolen, please tell me? The 360 has stolen some, but I cannot think of ANY off the top of my head that the Wii has stolen. It may have stolen some development resources, but developers are still making 360/PS3 games with their left hands while they praise the Wii with their right hands.

Games like Dewy's Adventure (at least in Japan) and Alien Syndrome flopped, big time. Nintendo out-competes a lot of the third parties on its console, which could push them elsewhere even if the Wii has better hardware numbers. I know they will adapt, eventually, but they won't make Wii games if Wii owners only want to play Nintendo games.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
