Forums - Sony - Sony: Our first-party dev is as big as Microsoft and Nintendo's combined

No, I won't. Guerrilla is a good company and just because YOU may not have prefered their offerings, including the recent Killzone 2, doesn't mean they're a bad dev.

Hmm, ok, you guys like opinions based on Metacritic scores, all their games at ~70 at best. That's mediocre. Don't know how KZ2 was rated >90. Must be a miracle, they finally make a good game? Personally, I disagree, but whatever...

@axumblade ...or maybe I just have my OWN opinion on games.

I liked god of war 1 and 2. I'm just saying that these games don't compare to zelda or smg or ssbb....

 

Thats totally subjective, is a matter of opinion and you could be wrong. Do you think?

True, but more people like the games I said then god of war. Can I back this up? Look at the sales. You can say sales mean nothing, but if a game sucks it wont get good sales.

God of war2: 2.45M sales on a 145M userbase....

SMG: 8M sales on a 50M userbase... Both games are good and have quality.

Please by your logic explain Madworld sales

He/She is talking about the demographic. The majority of people that own a PS2 were likely 10-20 year olds, but a smaller percentage bought God of War 2. The majority of people that own a Wii range from young children (3; I work at a daycare and children at that age that I know own a Wii, and they are REALLY good at Wii Sports, as our daycare has 2 Wii systems) all the way to elderly people. A moderate to a big percentage purchased Super Mario Galaxy on the Wii system because its userbase hasn't grown to a huge proportion (namely 60/65+).

Look at it this way: 2.45/145 * 100 = 1.69% for God of War 2.

With Mario Galaxy, it's 8/50 * 100 = 16%.

Let's say that God of War 2 sold 8 million on the 145 million userbase. 8/145 * 100 = 5.52% for the attach ratio. The higher the sales of the software with the userbase shows the percentage of the attach ratio.

If Super Mario Galaxy sold 2.45 million on a 50 million userbase, it would be 2.45/50 * 100 = 4.9%.

The userbase most likely has to be a bit smaller whilst the game sales higher to have a higher attach rate. I THINK that's how it's done, but correct me if I'm wrong PLUS the age is a factor for both the console and game. Just look at the sales for Pokemon Diamond/Pearl with the Nintendo DS's userbase.

Ummm...nice try but I'm vocal to ignoring review scores vs MY OWN opinion. So that part of your post is usless. As I said, you can hate all you want, at the end of the day Sony stated a fact here, deal with it.

What fact?



LOL nin fanboys got their panties in a twist.



CGI-Quality said:

They have the HIGHEST amount of Studios or did you not read the OP?

I never said it's not true.

70, 77 and 92 to be exact so your post is essentially "all their games are 70 at best on metacritic (i dont know what im saying and havent looked at the actually numbers but 70 sounds good) i dont know about killzone probably over 90 (dang over 90 across the board sounds pretty good my arguments maybe falling apart) Id bette rinsert some jab with it being a miracle (dang my point holds no water i better just say i disagree and throw in a whatever to show im just too cool to care)

And then throw in a ridiculous comment about you being allowed to criticize people defending their tastes but people better lay off on you because their your "OWN" opinions when youre argueing on a subjective issue with others with a "matter of fact" attitude saying they should exclude guerrila games from quality devs.

Nice.

 



Dont worry guys Nintendo is working hard on Wii Fit 2, and Microsoft is working hard on the next Halo. Enjoy.. lol.



Jeez, some Nintendo folks are defensive. Yes Nintendo pumps out some truly great games, but don't sell Sony's 1st Party Development short. Just a few games

  • Shadow of the Colossus
  • God of War
  • Uncharted
  • Ratchet
  • Jak and Daxter
  • Gran Turismo
  • Killzone 2

Are all super critically acclaiimed software. Sony has a large catalogue of quality software games/series that spread over various genre's, stop trying to marginalize them.



@CGI-Quality, axumblade
You guys better defend Team Ico, they worth it more than Guerrilla Games. Funny, you didn't mention this studio in your list.

@steverhcp02
If you want my full review of KZ2 with arguments, PM me or I'll get flamed by fans if I post it here =)
