What is the essence of the message anyway ? We spend a lot of money ? We are well armed to face the competition ?



 

Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.

Thats the second attack towards Nintendo in a week, Sony needs to stop this juvenile behaviour



Sony needs to shut up and get their house in order. I've never seen a last place company to talk so much smack. They need to buckle down, figure out to get the PS3 price down, and pray that can somehow catch Microsoft for second place. Never have a seen so many different people from one company open their mouth and insert their foot so often. The phrases "talk is cheap" and "actions speak louder than words" are words Sony should consider.

With a HD console game taking between 3 and 4 tmes as much work to produce that a similar game on the Wii, and Microsoft's tendancy to pay for development (rather than buy/build developers) I would expect Sony to have a much larger development workforce ...

The real question is which strategy is the most effective?

For the development cost of Killzone 2, Microsoft was able to publish Gears of War and Gears of War 2 ... For the Development cost of Gran Turismo 5, Microsoft was able to publish Project Gotham Racing 3, Forza 2 (and will probably be able to publish another racer before Gran Turismo 5 is released) ... For the cost of those 2 Sony Games Nintendo has (probably) been able to publish Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Metroid Prime 3, Mario Kart Wii, Wii Fit, and Mario Strikers Charged.

 

But 1rt and 2nd party studios all work on games at the same time. Its not only killzone2 or GT5.

yes its about playing and enjoying the best games this gen has to offer.

Ah, that's nice to hear from someone with "PS3" labled on his avatar: "best games to offer" =) Well, that's your choice, I guess...

 

certainly is my choice, ps3 has provided me with some stunning games from last year and this year will only get better



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

really miss the VGCHARTZ of 2008 - 2013...

I'll paraphrase a quote I heard some time ago:

Measuring a studio's value by the number of employees is like measuring airplane construction by weight.

 I judge a company from the games they offer. 1rt 2nd or 3rd places doesnt matter. All i want is games. 

Btw Sony's house is in order

What do you mean by "Sony's house in order"?

Are you completely ignoring the fact that their gaming division hasn't been consistently profitable since before the PS3 launched, and that the whole of Sony is now having losses too?

Sony has already said they'll fundamentally restructure the gaming business for profitability. This means they don't think the house is in order, and it may also mean that this quote from Mr. Koller won't be valid for long.
