Your topic is a bit misleading.

"Sony Computer Entertainment Studios employs some 2,200 developers across 14 different studios… it has more programmers, artists, audio technicians and designers than Microsoft and Nintendo combined."

You should have said that Sony has more developers than Microsoft and Nintendo combined. Just wanted to point that out.

Wow, that's amazing.  Third under EA and Ubi.  That's a huge amount of creative resource.  To be able to have a 1st party development program to rival the two largest multi-plat developers is truly an advantage.emitsu97

Interesting...where did you find this information.

Sony sales are much more than Microsoft but Microsoft profits are much higher. Microsoft market value is also more than 3x more than Sony. Sony does not have 200 billion in assets so stop makign up data.Deihmos

Sony is number 65 on the World Fortune 500 list and MS isn't in the top 100 but MS profits were much much higher.

You are probably looking at the top international companies list. Ms is listed as #47 on the top 2000 global company list and Sony is #123.

Just cause Sony has 2,200 people working for them doesn't mean the PS3 will have the best first party games. When it comes to game developers quality is better than quantity. If Sony would trim 500 employees that aren't very good and then take the cash they saved and hire Hideo Kojima or someone like that they would be way better off. What first party games so far has been any good for the PS3? None... Resistance was created by Insomniac which I think is a third party or second party actually cause they mainly make games for Sony consoles.jdt532

I agree, this really doesnt mean much at all. The games speak for themselves. Sony does have pretty solid first party games, but overall I think Nintendo takes it.

[QUOTE="bballboy986"] You make it sound like working for microsoft isn't the dream job for most programmers (outside of Google maybe, but thats only recently).Runningflame570

I would love to work at EBAY. EBAY employee's have it made. They get free lunches, high wages and onsite gym. I wouldn't mind any of the other company's either.
