Yeah that's great for last gen, but so far this gen Sony is a beast with its first party games. Top PS3 games published by Sony

1. Resistance - 3.59
2. Motorstorm - 3.48
3. GT5P - 3.02
4. Uncharted - 2.34
5. LBP - 2.19
6. Killzone 2 - 1.59
7. Resistance 2 - 1.54
8. Ratchet & Clank - 1.47
9. Heavenly Sword - 1.36
10. Singstar - 0.84

So far this gen, after only 2.5 years and only a 21 million userbase to work; with 9 of Sony's top 10 selling games are million sellers. Imagine what it will be after 9 years like the PS2 is almost at.

So while your arguement is great for a solution if it was last gen, it doesn't really count this gen... except for with the 360 which has 12 million sellers after 3.5 years and a 30 million userbase. Not much better than Sony.

 

 Even if you were going by attach-rate, Wii still destroys PS3 in terms of first party software sales.



"Now, a fun game should always be easy to understand - you should be able to take one look at it and know what you have to do straight away. It should be so well constructed that you can tell at a glance what your goal is and, even if you don’t succeed, you’ll blame yourself rather than the game. Moreover, the people standing around watching the game have also got to be able to enjoy it." - Shiggy

Looking at that has made me realise that SONYs first party is doing awesome!

When I go buy a console, I try to think about the first party games, like Gears of War, Mario Galaxy, God of War, Zelda, etc. First party game is what consolidates the console.



...I'm kind of lost here.

Rol, what it going on with you?
