but....i also think for a company like sony who gots a more expensive machine and launched at a later year with catching up to do. i say it be wise to try and cover the gaps between 1st & 2nd party ips with some nice 3rd party exclusives this will... you know take care of the drought. i mean lets think for a second
if a game like resistance 2 lbp, socom motorstorm 2 all come out in the fall, than it wouldn't hurt to at least have a time exclusive hold on certain key 3rd party...
short brief answer yes.
they should buy exclusives, its how the ps2 was able to maintain its lead over the cube and the xbox.
i mean think about it, had games like DMC4 AC and GTA4 remained exclusive more ps3's would be bought and sony wouldn't have to deal with the media and insiders like it currently has been.
its also good to note that when i say buy exclusives i don't mean just any exclusive, but the right ones, you know the good ones, imagine COD4 GTA4...
online isn't really sony's strongest point and not to mention they have been only doing this for about a year and some change yeah ill take what im not paying for.
besides dissing sony like that for at least trying to provide its gamers and audience with a similar online experience is just harsh.
well there is also nintendo and i don't see people on here crapping on their efforts if there are any to see.
as far as those features you listed, trust me with...
@ the article well what do you expect its life, everything that makes money will have its clone or share of clones, its simple and its not the first or the last time this kind of thing will happen.
GTA and than saints row.
MGS than splinter cell
COKE than pepsi.
ipod than zune and it goes on and on, until the end of time.
this is what bothers me a little, these little insignificant updates. these updates should be included with the bigger ones such as FW. 2.40 that way you got one simple download of an updated with a lot features people want, with the ability to stabilize your system at the same time.
from this moment on i pledge not to go online and download any of these tiny updates until FW 2.40 arrives.
im so sick and tire of all this. i only care and want FW.2.40 not 2.33 2.36 or...
like the idea, i think most of sony's characters seem too mature to make that a fun colorful fighting game like smash bros, heck i think even Microsoft could make a smash bros if were going to be talking characters by games.
my point here is a company like sega has a better shot at a similar game, because they just plain outright have more notable mascots and character, not that kratos isn't cool or anything as he is one of my all time favorites, but i mean the rest of those char...
man installs are simpler than swapping discs and that its a fact. i mean there have been multiple disc based games that have had a miss print error on them and when you go on to swap discs your swapping a different one.
look i still own all final fantasies 7, 8 and 9 for the psone console so.. yeah i know what im talking about. trust me had a game like GTA 3 or san Andreas made its way to the gamecube this game would have had to come on multiple discs, and anyone here who played ...
yourself, so you are trying to say we are lazy because we prefer not having to worry about or even remotely think about swapping discs? look by the sound of your statement i can easily come up and say your lazy for not willing to sit a few minutes on an install. same thing.
BUT i rather not have to worry about dealing with multiple discs, its simple no matter which way you put it, having multiple discs means yo have to worry about losing or scratching one or the other disc, and ...
I MEAN LETS FACE IT A GAME LIKE LOST ODDESSY OR BLUE DRAGON are just a pain in the neck to deal with.
i mean 5 discs thats so annoying. just imagine DVD's don't have that extra layer of protection blu ray has so, in transition say i have an accident and one of those discs gets scratch or lost, now what? i mean i rather have a one time install than having to swap discs every now and than.
me if i like the game im playing a lot, than believe it that game isn't coming out...
if you guys take a look at the wii, the games don't get much promotion and they sell like hot cakes, wii fit? what the heck is that? yet is selling like crazy and mario kart i didn't see much of anything regarding this game and guess what? it sold a lot so yeah i guess certain games don't really need ads, and besides sony isn't really big on ads unless those involve movies or tvs of course.
god of war 2 as far as i can remember got a few ads here and there and yet did its numbers...
those other two games don't even belong on that list, let alone in the month of june, June is MGS4's month like April was GTA4's month period.
had ninja gaiden 2 come out in may than that would have been its month. its that simple.
@Dareaver1
while this is true the same could have been said about games like perfect dark zero or kameo and we all know these two games didn't deliver either, but i guess haze was the game he had in mind but hey i cant blame the kid for being a fan of a particular console.
sure haze was hyped but so were many other games in the past just look at splinter cell double agent, now this game wasn't as good as i hoped it be but i guess since this is a now old game, no one ...
i guess now they are trying to say that since the u.s which is m's market pretty much isn't the second largest market anymore, now sony's lead in the UK is diminishing.
well all i have to say in this small regard is MGS4 will take care of this issue thats for sure and that game will hold of the 360 for a month or two until of course the other big guns arrive. you know resistance 2, socom, and motorstorm, as well as wipeout HD.
oh well i guess we will soon find out i...
this is a good thing, now i want the bourne trilogy with a list of features this huge oh and maybe some lord of the rings if you will and where the first 2 rush hour films? and x-men films? still waiting for those.
also i cant wait for iron-man to come out as well. you know along side the dark knight so i can just chilax while im not fragging someone in MGO or resistance 2.
i guess the 360's market in the u.s doesn't matter as much as MS makes it sound on the daily basis.
not to mention the ps2 is still around and doing healthy numbers which means no matter the cost or lost on the ps3 front sony is still doing better than its competitors, heck the psp is selling at a profit as well and for the last month or so i believe its been beating up everything else in japan. not to get ahead of myself and jump to any conclusions but sony is far from last plac...

See above.
Any paragraph over 10 lines long is unbearable on the internet. Also, I know everyone wants to say grammar doesn't matter because it's the internet and you're just trying to get your word out. But the basics are still required, or any point you make is rendered arbitrary.
well do you see above? if you do... than good, because just like i told that other guy, if you don't want to read a wall of text than you don't have to. is tha...

9.1 - Don't post a wall of text
Seriously, if you want to write an article, start a blog and reference people to it. No one is going to read a huge wall of text with poor grammar. Not hating, just educating and saving you some frustration later on.
cheers
seriously if that bothers you that much than simply do what i would do in your situation don't read it and shut up and move on, see simple its that easy.
now if i were to write an article t...
its like someone above just said MGS4 might end up with a metric score of 95, in my view thats good but if bioshock and gta 4 got higher scores than something is wrong, those games are great but aren't perfect by any means.
now i need for several sites and magazines not own or supported by sony to give metal gear solid 4, 10's across the board its the only way you can truly say the game is perfect, because people would look at the scores and say hmm it got 10's but wait a minute ...

I hate him as a character, but his Devil Arm was easily the coolest thing about DMC4, and if you can't see that...I'd be really really surprised.
capcom isn't that creative anymore, the whole arm thing they got from another one of their games called GOD HAND, they grabbed what failed in a solo project and implemented it in a known franchise thats all. i mean this whole arm thing i also believe was somewhat an inspiration from oh say liquid ocelot, if...
this is certainly a good thing for sony, now can they keep this momentum and how could they? if they could?
well going forward i see a small drought in between the months of june and july. but if tekken can come out sometime next month...than that would help a lot specially in japan where it sells extremely well, meanwhile sony should try and get wipeout HD out in europe in this same time frame, after all wipeout is an all time favorite in europe not to mention its where its from...
