Face Time: Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg

On today's episode of Xplay, Adam sat down with Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg to discuss the 360's 2009 game lineup."

xhi46301d ago

09 Xbox 360 line up = Halo Wars, Star Ocean 4, GTA IV DLC....

PS3 09 = GOD OF WAR 3, Heavy Rain, Uncharted 2, War Devil, Fat Princess, Infamous, Killzone 2

2 funni

MURKERR6301d ago (Edited 6301d ago )

(not fanboys) are you worried about the serious lack of games for your system in 2009? agree if you are, disagree if your not ..be HONEST theres no shame in it

and ps3 owners if ps3 was in the state the 360 is for this year gameswise would you jump ship to the platform with the more exclusives considering the price difference?

Timberland2K96301d ago

It will become obvious that microsoft's only answer to ps3 is either a halo spinoff or a price cut

pwnsause6301d ago (Edited 6301d ago )

knowing Microsoft, they are going to be a bit sketchy about their line up until E3. i predict 2 exclusives will be announced, Killer Instinct 3 and perfect Dark. they'll probably announce Allan Wake for a 2009 launch.

But sony will probably do the same, they have an infinite amount (yes im exagerrating) of studios pumping out new Ips, hell, we still havent heard of GT5 and the new ICO project. We dont even know if MAG is going to release this year. But there is one thing thats obvious though.. Price cut. A price cut will insure Dominance to the PS3 once again the same way they have been dominating the 360 before Sept 2008 when they cut their price.

fishd6301d ago

Why everyone forget that soulja boy exclusive game?!

steriotyp6301d ago

because its a soulja boy game

Max Power6301d ago

don't forget the new Ratchet and Clank that is sure to come out sometime this year.

Consoldtobots6301d ago

lol thats an old marketing tactic, when you run out of things to say just go over what you already spoke about and add emphasis.

Microsoft has NOTHING lined up this year and quite frankly that's just pathetic. This is clearly a company out to make the quick buck off the ignoranty consumer who never had a long term strategy for supporting their console.

cmrbe6301d ago

I can't wait for the next RC after TOD. Dam. I already have 3 Insomanic games and RC TOD 2 will be my fourth I.G game this gen.

BattleAxe6301d ago

Basically what I got from that video, is that Arron Greenberg himself doesn't even know what exclusive games they have comming out next year.

He spent half the time talking about multi-platform titles lmao.

nix6301d ago

Ma maa.. microsoft, have you any wool?
Yes sir yes sir.. three bags full...
One is full of DLcs, One is full of Halos..
One is filled with 3rd parties, which we'll call it as ours!

Ping! *Achievement Unlocked!*

cryymoar6301d ago

i feel like greenburg is trying to use his position on a TV show to spin 3rd party multi-platform games as xbox360 exclusives to maybe the ones that don't know they really are multiplatform.

But to the ones that CAN think and do simple process of eliminated.
it's:
Killzone 2, Heavy Rain, Infamous, Gran Turismo 5, MAG, (hopefully) God of War 3.
vs
Halo wars, and GTA L&D.

Horny6301d ago

@MURKERR

no im not worried, because I have a PS3.
Besides I already have all the AAA games for the 360.
The only 1 game im picking up on the 360 in the next few months is Halo Wars, and maybe RES 5 (dont know which systems yet). On Ps3 its every exclusive plus street fighter 4.

Razzy6301d ago (Edited 6301d ago )

Agree apena89. When Greenburg started talking about Street Fighter/Resident Evil 5 like they were exclusives I was thinking "ummmm dude...those are multiplat titles" Talk about desperate lol.

I would've like to hear Sessler mention that but he probably didn't want to piss off M$.

IzKyD13316301d ago

This so sad, Greenburg mentioned multiplatform games like SFIV and RE5 as titles for 360's lineup (Adam asked for exclusives to combat with PS3 exclusives lol)

6301d ago
6301d ago
SupaPlaya6301d ago

that MS does have more exclusive games slated for this year. That way fans can discuss what games they like, and spend more time drooling over the good games instead of attacking each other (except for in-game that is).

Halo Wars looks like a good start.

Silellak6300d ago (Edited 6300d ago )

Only on N4G do people care solely about which games happen to be "exclusives" and therefore assume a console has no games coming out in a given year just because it has few EXCLUSIVES coming out.

Many, many AAA games these days are multi-platform games. And right now, the 360 is simply the cheaper option to play those multi-platform games, and runs them just as well as the PS3 does. This is a big difference from last generation where a majority of AAA games were PS2 exclusives or ran crappy on everything but the PS2.

FEAR 2, Street Fighter 4, Star Ocean, Halo Wars, HAWX, Resident Evil 5, Red Faction, Halo 3: ODST, Mafia 2, Dragon Age: Origins, and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 all have potential to be AAA titles this year. Most of the games on this list, while not exclusives, are - combined with the large number of solid games the last few years - still great reasons to own a 360.

Really, this assumption that the 360 has no legs is incredibly laughable. It is clear that the 360 has strong third-party support - just as Sony did and does - which guarantees it isn't going anywhere for awhile. Just look at the NPD sales numbers for SOFTWARE, and notice that most of the sales for 3rd party games go to the 360. Do you know who ELSE is noticing that? Publishers.

Why can't we all just be happy as gamers that everyone has great games to play because of this multi-platform trend? Are people really so obsessed with seeing Sony succeed that they wish ill on their fellow gamers who happened to buy a 360 instead of a PS3? Fanboyism is childish and petty. Video games are a fun hobby. Play whatever games you want and shut the up over whose toy of choice has the most megagigapixelbytehertz.

TheTwelve6300d ago

Sillelak---Competition is good. We won't get the best of the best games if all games were multi-plat. The "everyone should be happy because we all have it" argument would lead to what you don't want. Exclusives for any console drive the industry in terms of innovation and personally, I love it.

THE TRUTH6300d ago

I fully understand why some Sony/PS3 fans would sit back and laugh about arron's struggle to name an exclusive title to combat Sony's 09 lineup, but actually this really pisses me off. I am not a 360 fan but I am a gamer and I really would hate to see the 360 piss away any goodwill its earned with gamers by not taking gaming seriously. There is NO damn excuse as to why microsoft doesn't have any quality exclusive for it's customers to really get hyped about, especially this late in the 360's consoles lifespan!

Microsoft is by far under the most pressure to produce something worth talking about at E3! If they fail at E3 this year they might as well kiss there lead goodbye, btw I don't count last year a microsoft/360 win because FF13 has no street date announced and won't be exclusive to the 360.

This news IS NOT FUNNY! Its a slap in the face to any gamer who haas supported the 360 through thick and thin and its damn time 360 owner get on microsoft about this! After going through RROD and scratched discs paying for XBL you gamers deserve better and if you retain this additude like its ok because we hate Sony/PS3, you will be the gamers sitting on a $200+ paper weight!

Microsoft you better step your game up and take gamers seriously or go the way of sega!

StayHigh6300d ago

Dont forget White Knight, Yukuza 3, and the new Team ICO game..

StayHigh6300d ago

Its funny because in the end of it all we get the last laugh..Sony first party games is untouchable right now. Sony will have the last laugh..Microsoft is going to rely on third party games and DLC..lol..

artsaber6300d ago

Seems like Microsoft spent too much money padding the pockets of Square Enix and the like to STEAL once exclusive games to the Sony platform... getting rid of GREAT and PROVEN development studio departments, etc.

Fast forward to today and the well has run dry. Vista made no money to shuffle cash to the gaming division, instead that cash was dumped into W7 Development.

No more bribe money for this Quarter + Massive Layoffs + Closing Developer Groups = No Games for 2009

Sony is smart for hitting Microsoft with exclusive after exclusive since other business dealings have been suspect and prone to bribery.

Dark Collosis6300d ago

Its only equal now to people saying the PS3 has NO good games.... I dare ANYONE on this website to post THREE months out of this ENTIRE console generation where the PS3 got more games than the 360... Please please show me... AND in return i will show you how the 360 DOMINATES NEARLY EVERY SINGLE MONTH WITH MORE NEW GAMES..... NOT including downloadable content... AND we all know how sony loves to promiss games YEARS AND YEARS IN advance.. And this is what you have to brag about?? sad

Bloodwar6300d ago

gamer and not a forum troll. lol

thegood336300d ago

Heavy rain and God of war 3 won't be out until 2010.

Unlike the PS3, the Xbox doesn't lie to it's customer base about when games will ACTUALLY be available to buy. Mark my words...Sony ALWAYS misleads customers...

NickIni6300d ago (Edited 6300d ago )

Wow. The Gamer Zone is so heavily moderated! Absolutely no fanboys here!

Microsoft will come out with a host of great games. Just because they are announced, doesn't mean they don't exist. Likewise for additional PS3 titles.

There's a load of 360 games with little hype, that people totally disregard. So far, 2009 is looking to be the best time this gen for games, and an awesome time to be the owner of two platforms.

burbulla6300d ago

From the looks of it, Sony holds back its games till it is confident that they will kick the ass of the competitor's lineup, for example Killzone 2 exceeded the quality of C.G. cut-scene.

Lifendz6300d ago

Teh PS3 has no games! Teh 360 has sooo many games!

king dong6300d ago

i've got a 360, and i know i'll be buying plenty of games this year. whether 3rd or 1st party....the insercurity of the sony army is only matched by their desperation to find girlfriends and a life outside their homes.

silellak: forget it mate. dont bother trying to speak sense to the brainwashed.

nicklni: i actually agree with your comment about the admin/moderators or lack-og on here....n4g admi/mods are by far the most useless cretins on the net. their level of uselesness is unrivaled...great job guys!

sak5006300d ago

@#1

we're talking 2009 line up not 2010-2014.

prowiew6300d ago

As of right now, 360 09 exclusives lineup are a little worrisome. But I imagine they have 1 or 2 more games under their sleeves.

No Way6300d ago (Edited 6300d ago )

MY 09 LINEUP:

"09 Xbox 360 line up = Halo Wars, Star Ocean 4, GTA IV DLC....

PS3 09 = GOD OF WAR 3, Heavy Rain, Uncharted 2, War Devil, Fat Princess, Infamous, Killzone 2"

Yup, is that how yours looks? If not, that's too funny. :)

christian hour6300d ago

Did anyone actually watch the video? In the first 2 minutes or so he asks why we've only heard of a few big games coming out in 2009 like halo:odst, etc he says that they'll be revealed at events and that they want to under promise and over deliver. Kind of liek what they did last year. Straight away that makes this sites article completely mute!

The way I look at it is, Ps3 will have games to play, and 360 will have games to play. And people will enjoy those games. And thats all that matters. Just another year of good releases for the PS360 owner.

Shepherd 2146300d ago (Edited 6300d ago )

360 has a great line up this year. Exclusives like Alan Wake, Halo Wars, Ninja Blade, Forza 3, Splinter Cell Conviction, The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Athena, three exclusive Fallout 3 expansions =), GTA 4 DLC, and the Halo 3 campaign expansion, cant wait! This is much more than i will have the money for!

Then theres multiplatform titles like STREET FIGHTER 4, Alpha Protocol, HAWX, Fear 2, Fight Night Round 4, Bionic Commando, I Am Alive(which may make it this year), Red Faction: Guerrilla, Tekken 6, Final Fantasy 13, Wolfenstein(woot woot), and many many more.

As you can see, the 360 has another great year ahead.

I should know, since ive had my 360 for 3 years now and have enjoyed many, many great console exclusives like Mass Effect(drools), Halo 3, Gears of War 1 and 2, Ninja Gaiden, Dead Rising, Left 4 Dead.
And many multiplats like Rainbow Six Vegas 1 and 2, GRAW 1 and 2, Oblivion, Fallout 3, Fight Night Round 3, etc etc i could go on and on.

My point is that the 360 has already had 3 amazing years that i have enjoyed with myself and all my friends and 2009 will be great as well. Sorry N4Sony but even though the 360 does not have as many exclusives this year that doesnt mean many great games still arent coming its way.

JasonPC360PS3Wii6300d ago

The untrue title should be changed from "Microsoft stumbles over 09 lineup on X-Play" to "Microsoft Scared PS3 Fanboys Into Pooping Pants over 09 lineup on X-Play" the 360 has more games in 09 (again), don't blame MS, blame Sony for pushing 75% of them back to 2010 and b3yond.

thats_just_prime6300d ago

I didnt see him stunble over anything and the 6 min 45 sec into that they point out was about the time he started mocking sony. "the year of the ps3 this just in delayed"

Immortal Kaim6300d ago (Edited 6300d ago )

Congrats guys, lets all pat each other on the back because your hunk of plastic is getting more exclusives than the other hunk of plastic. I can't wait to actually play some awesome games this year, irrespective of platform.. You know we are meant to be gamers, not try-hard industry analysts and share holders...

Spydiggity6300d ago (Edited 6300d ago )

you people are delusional!

you are just consumers. you don't own either company. stop talking as if YOU have accomplished something. even if ps3 finally does have a better line up (which is still debatable), oh boy..one year out of 3?

ps3 only still exists because it gets blind support from the ps2 fanboys. 360 actually had to work for its following. to date, my ps3 has had 2 great games, has run a total of less than 100 hours. on 360 i've played about 20-30 great games and ive played countless hours.

ps3 exclusive owners should not be allowed to speak in open forums because they don't own 360s. you are NOT gamers..you ARE fanboys. your opinions are invalid. and you always hype games that aren't out. you always brag about the future. but you never have anything in the present or past to brag about (and you shouldn't be bragging anyway, you should be enjoying). keep over hyping this years line up and it will bomb just like the previous years. can't you ppl just go play yours games and stfu on the forums?

AAACE56300d ago

@xhi4... Keep in mind that GoW 3 and Heavy Rain could still get pushed into 2010! Also, in a world where sex sells, do you really think alot of people will buy a game called "Fat Princess". KZ 2, Uncharted 2, Wardevil and infamous look good and will be great titles for 2009.

@MURKERR... To be honest, I am a little concerned! However, I am keeping in mind what MS said in the past. They said they would only announce their games when they are close to completion (and I knew that before greenburg said it on X-play). It is irritating not knowing what games will be coming out in the near future, and it is fueling the fanboy rage by only having a few known games coming.

But overall, I am confident that MS has to have something up their sleeve. They wouldn't put all that money into things the way they have been, to just throw it away like that. With the NXE, and as the fanboys say, "All the people MS paid off to get their games on 360/haha".

To me this battle is just getting to the good part!

If you think about their strategy though, SE announced FFXIII a long time ago, and gamers are pissed off that it hasn't come out yet, and are looking for anything to blame for it. At least the games we do know about will be out in the next couple months.

burbulla6300d ago

WHICH POKER PLAYS DOESN'T SHOW HIS CARDS, BUT TELLS THEIR OPPONENTS THAT THEY HAVE SOMETHING UP THEIR SLEEVES!

SERIOUSLY AARON G. WHY NOT JUST SPILL THE BALLS.

Final_Rpg6300d ago

What I don't understand is how Microsoft can believe that they had the best 2008 holiday lineup.

Does anyone actually believe Gears of war 2 +fable 2 (banjo kazooie, if you liked it) were greater than Resistance 2, LBP, Narutos: US, Motorstorm 2, Socom. Plus, let's not forget that 2008 was the year of MGS4. Not to mention GT5 prologue.

2009 is, impossibly, looking even better than 2008 for PS3. Imagine if MGS4 came out in 2009. That would be a ridiculously awesome lineup. Even without it, I can't see anything microsoft will be able to release that can combat what Sony are offering. Even if they get rare to release a couple of titles this year I don't think they are going to match the quality of these games that have already had in some cases 3+ years of work on them. You can't pull quality out of nowhere microsoft.

MS are going to have a good lineup this year, but not because of first party titles. Sony could release just their first party titles and it wouldn't actually fair to badly against all the multiplats of the year. Of course there are going to be a lot more multiplats, but Sony's exclusives would at least put up a fight.

I hope MS are able to muster up something that will even be able to stand next to PlayStation 3 exclusives this year, because frankly, this year is looking rather abysmal for them. At least in my eyes. Two halo titles in one year... Talk about over saturating a market. If gears of war 3 is somehow released 2009, alan wake, mass effect 2 (exclusively) and maybe if they can announce a few other titles like Killer instinct or a proper banjo kazooie/perfect dark and even Forza 2, Sony might start to have some competition. But even then, I don't think that when they release they'll be able to stand next to the quality of what Sony are offering. Their games have been in development for a LONG time. Imagine all that fine tuning and testing that has been done to make these games the absolutely best experience possible. You can't get that workmanship overnight.

Maybe Microsoft have got some games that have been in development for a long time that they just haven't announced yet. I hope so, otherwise, this year is going to be a complete walkover. But, that's only looking at what I can think of and what has been announced so far. However, the ambiguity that Greenberg is outputting in regards to what they are going to deliver 2009 is a little disheartening for their hopes in my opinion.

WIIIS16300d ago

I'm seriously wondering what it is that Sony fanboys are celebrating about for 2009. They declared 2008 to be the year of Sony and ended up only with MGS4, Resistance 2 and Little Big Planet. For 2009, I see Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2 as confirmed. The biggest games for the 1st quarter are multiplats anyway too, except for Halo Wars and GTA IV DLC.

Cicinho6300d ago

"You see your friends now, instead of just playing games they are doing all these other things"

hahaha what happened to the "i bought this to play games" ?!?!?!?!

Leathersoup6300d ago

I'm amazed at how much time the PS3 crowd spends attacking the 360 on the boards here. You'd almost think that the PS3 didn't have enough content to keep its gamers busy. ;)

JeffGUNZ6295d ago

How do you people not understand this? Microsoft ALWAYS flys under the radar until E3, then they announce their best products. I can't wait to see the fanboys faces when they hear the bombs microsoft drops at E3, like they DO EVERY YEAR and the little to zero Sony releases at E3. Sony loves to show everything that have immediately, while microsoft plays it smart, release enough for the winter slow months, then in early summer, where the gaming industry is the worst, give HIGH anticipation for the fall, when video gaming is at it's peek. But, Sony doesn't get this because their marketing and advertising team is a joke. I think it's just a small office with a round table and 5 hellen kellers look-a-likes sitting there drooling. That's how effective their marketing is.

BlackRaven856301d ago

Not you, again, look Microsoft isn't Sony, they have different ways of presenting a line up for the year. Sony likes to present games for that year and the following one. Microsoft tried that approach, remember Alan Wake or Halo 3? Now they are lip-tight about the game line-up for this year because they don't want to get people's hopes up if anything should happen before the game is released, and has to be pressed back.

It doesn't mean they don't have any games. Microsoft just likes to make the announcements when the games are close to being done. Hype is better this way because gamers don't have to wait a year to play the games they want to play. Neither company will give a poor line-up. You give gamers a bad name, dude.

Shoduke6301d ago

Microsoft is a smart company. They wouldn't just let Sony steal the spotlight right from under them. They have no say in it. Sony has the 360 clearly beat this year b a wide margin because of the exclusive software. Microsoft is just trying to run damage control by saying "we may still have some unannounced games up our sleeve." It's a smart tactic because people won't jump ship with that glimmer of false hope of unannounced games.

Think of it this way. You own a cake shop and have a competitor cake shop right next door. You are an older shop that has more cakes, but lacks anything new. The newer shop is constantly getting new flavors, and improving their cakes. You see that you're starting to lose your customer loyalty, so you go "I'll have some awesome cakes if you guys stay with me. They'll be here later. Just keep waiting and when they're here, they'll blow your mind." But they don't come.

Droid Smasha6300d ago

wasn't that sony strategy when they launched the ps3. look where it got them hahahaha

Hallucinate6300d ago

in case you havnt noitced cupcakes arnt games...if you honestly belive that MS has nothing for e3 or gdc teh you are one sad fanboy

NipGrip6300d ago

Yeah right.. MS, "the kings of marketing".. the ones that put HALO 3 on every baseball cap, T-Shirt, Slurpee cup, Mt Dew can and whatever else they could find likes to keep their killer hits under wraps. Please. This is what someone says when they have nothing.

"No! I swear, I have something I really do!!"

No, you don't. By this time last year, they had announced many of their titles like Sessler points out. We had already known by this time about Fable 2 and GoW2. Right now all you have is a couple of DLC packs, a couple of Halo spin-offs (just name the next console "The HALO Machine" and be done with it), and a Ninja Gaiden ripoff.

Also, when people say "xxxx is the year of the PS3", they don't mean the PS3 will OBLITERATE their competition. They mean it will win the game of the year award. It will have more exclusives than the competition, it will gain momentum, and it has. 2009 is going to be a great year for the PS3.

Those aren't even confirmed to have a definitive 2009 release.

APB is rumored to become multi-platform as well.

No offense dude but that's some weak crap.

Alan Wake is still iffy on a 2009 release, from what they've shown (and it's not much) it's not touting as being the impressive juggernaut that it once was, especially with it heavily depending on the graphics.. and I won't mention a certain game that already has that in the bag.

However I WILL play Alan Wait Forever when it will eventually come out.

I must say there is absolutely NOTHING this year on the 360 that looks the least bit interesting to me

blackpanther256301d ago

APB is not even in closed beta it's in the alpha stage right now (i have a spot in the closed beta). Huxley has been in open beta in korea for over a year now.

Lets all stop talking about huxley. That game has failed, besides halo that is the reason i bought a 360. Im in the Korean beta, that game is so bad. Im telling everyone now take that game off the list cause it has failed and maybe scraped all together. That game is worse than hellgate: london

Darkseider6301d ago

OK you wanna play Huxley NOW? Go download Planetside and knock yerself out. It has been out for years now and still has a decent population for a MMOFPS.

No Way6300d ago

The way you put those games, is all a matter of opionion.. And, it seems in your case, fanboyism. So, in that sense, it's not even an opionion.

It appears to me that you are a PS3 fanboy, so OF COURSE those games on the PS3 side will be "better."

I own both systems, and to me, from what I've seen.. It would look somethin like this:

Huxley < Mag

Champions Online = DCU

Haven't seen anything on Freerealms so won't mention it.

All Points Bulletin > The Agency

Alan Wake = Heavy Rain
They both look really good, as far as I'm concerned.

Halo 3: ODST = Nawh, not a joke.. But, I kno.. Everything "Halo" is a joke to you.

Ninety-Nine Nights 2 = 1st game wasn't that bad. Try actually playing the game.

Project Forza 3 > Gran Turismo
Gran Turismo is good, and better in some areas. But, I prefer the customization, among other factors, that Forza has. And, it you're referring it to Project Gotham, and Forza 3.. than yep, I'd take both over Gran Turismo.

So, yea, somethin like that. I pity thee for not owning both systems like mee. =)

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga25d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga24d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

Hulst is a disaster......

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7225d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7524d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit24d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14925d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7725d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
