Guess the bad economic didn't hit US as hard as it hit JP

Total 1700 job cut ain't big deal compare to Sony's 8000 cut, but Sony do diversify their business wider then MS...

Woa~ and they said gamer don't care about economic XD

Anyway, I don't think Sony will "fall" at 2009. Yes, they are cutting job and yes they are reducing factory plant and yes they are trying to change corporation structure to survive.

But still its too early to say Sony going to "fall", the bad economic is affecting whole world rather then just Sony.

Analysis is good at evaluate situation base on data and "their" analysis,...

The economic is really bad......

Though it's under review, I doubt Sony will make any drastic change.
The worst to happen maybe to cancel new IP games under development in their own studio, or cut back studio staff.

Very unlikely they will pull out on PS3. Especially with their install base still growing and several big-hit titles coming next year.

Despite the beginning statement is weak but the article got a point, where major game forum avoid to talk about since it might provoke SE & X360 fans(and it's a big ass install base) and be called biased.

Ya,why does SE said about being multi-platform company while PS3 ain't see even one game release(not even "any" release date)? Interesting, isn't that?

I always remember a daring game website reporter openly asked one of FF13 directors about the same ...

I have played FFXI on PC for three years, very good MMO three years ago.

That's before money seller get in and mess up the value of in game money...SE just trying to beat an old horse, beside most people play it on PS2 already.

Hmmm~I doubt the possibility. Even Level5 success on PS3, didn't guarantee Level5 will become second party developer.

Best Sony can do is keep a really good relationship with Level5 and influence them don't do X360 exclusive.

Well, RS2 didn't sell as good as everyone though that's true.

Though UK sale isn't that good, the overall Europe sale is normal for exclusive. Sometime good game just didn't get good sell, sad...

FF13 on two BR disc? no way...since first it gonna port to X360 and second there is new layer tech. to fit more into one disc.

Beside the CEO of SE said "disc space isn't the most important factor" in the interview around last month. So I think 1 BR disc is pretty much settle for FF13.

Beside that, let's hope SE do deliver on quality this time...especially while SE tent to undermine PS3 for this gen.

well, I do remember Kojima said that next MGS game can be on different platform. But I don't think its MGS4 port since it said "next" MGS.

It ain't surprise to see the new MGS on X360, can't wait for Kojima's new project ^_^

BTW, making joke on RROD are low............that's a real problem people are suffering from =_=

hmm~ I can smell KH3 on PS3/X360 now...

Base on SE's "business strategy", I can't surprise if they announce FF13 in Japan and FFv13 goes to X360. After that SE personal will come out and give their "it is for the greater good" speech XD

All I hope now is they achieve their promised quality on the future release, despite which platform its on. Next Gen do need an epic JRPG

if X360 didn't outsell PS3 after price drop, then this world have no meaningful business strategy at all...

Even though the figure is in Japan only, but still...they "should" do better with their reputation and consider the number of games release this year.

SE truly need to focus on quality rather then quantity for next gen. The two next gen games (IU & LR) released on X360 are pretty average,
next year SE got SO4 and FF13 on schedule.

But the famous FF franchises are slowly losing gamers' attention with extensive long (3 years) and information lacking...

ya~well, in my opinion HALO3 is most over-hype game ever...

Feel free to give a game whatever score you think it deserve.

We aren't professional reviewer and get paid for doing review, so its ok to involve "a lot" personal opinion in the score.

Translate from the pix:

- have similar to Tales series' special move system, locate on LT/RT and activate after 3rd normal hit, can set up different combination with different move (eg: LT[Raising blade]-LT[Arc cut]-RT[Flash slash]-LT[Crossing air strike]-RT[Shinning arc] or different combination)

- both special move and spell can level up

- can learn and use "Limit Break move" after level up

- combat style "Beat": will a...

You know, the sad thing is during interview Hashimoto said "Blu-Ray's additional storage capacity doesn't matter as much as the strength of the hardware itself."

Funny thing to say...isn't rich content "need" big storage? Especially when its an RPG.

Look at LO and MGS4, both rich in game content and one come in 4 discs and one nearly burst BR capacity. What's the point to create multi-layer technology and/or new large storage format if capacity d...

LMAO! after kept saying FF13 exclusive on PS3 for 2 freaking year then port the damn thing. What should we call this?

Stop denying and start to make some good game!!!

Money whxre or not, the games SE delivered on next gen go under-performance in many long-time-supporting gamers' mind. This is third year for FF13 development, and please~o~please triple quality check before you release the game this time.

JP market was never the focus point of SE, currently America market is. They are more then confident the JP customer will buy their game despite the recent around average game performance...

Still, just like PS3 in America market; X360 want to beat PS3 in JP market will take some time, while PS3 yet announce any price cut and X360 already experience two price cut event to boost sale

So far the graphic of WKC I seen is pretty good, can't say its "great" but definitely not "bad"

If there ain't big coding problem (fps drop, texture tear/pop...) and with decent story and control. The review should be around 8~9.

Only thing I am concern is Level5 may put too many idea into it and yet master either of them, that's the worst thing can happen for WKC...

PS: For people who believe SO4 got great graphic: maybe, but that's ...

Can't wait to play this game, personally the setting of HALO is always better for STG rather FPS game...

Let's hope the good sale of HALO war will bring the studio back to life for a sequel

I have seen worse score for RS2 (a 6 I think).

The SP isn't perfect (that's true) and MP do deliver what have been promised, just a little harsh on overall score.

The sales? RS wasn't ever a strong sale game...RS1 sales grow slowly through time and RS2 should follow the same concept
