MS is stopping Sony to Create the Ultimate Gaming HUB.FACT

Wow just wow, I had no idea such fanatical fanboyism existed?

So let me get this straight TC...you're annoyed because Sony are not dominating anymore and microsoft have put up fight lol?

Serioulsy people. Is its capitalism?

WileyCoyote315

Its true its capitalism but we all know what happens when M$ starts to control things Windows any one???

Thats the beauty of competition. Sony pushed the 360 to where it is now, and pressure from the 360 gave PS3 owners Home. And fortunately after Home announcement, MS planned the 360 dashboard update too.

I say, heat up the competition more, Im benefiting the most!

This man speaks truth.

The thing is, when the developers get the opportunity to make an exclusive game for the PS3, it either ends up like Lair or Haze, or it takes around 5 years to complete.siggy3

So MGS4 was a fluke,huh?

Geuss I was wrong about Tekken 6 staying exclusive. It still baffles me how this is even possible when Sony pays for all of Namco's arcade machines. How can they just take away an exclusivity deal again?

I swear to GOD this damn game better be coming with something extra for the PS3. This generation of gaming has pissed me off beyond belief. It makes no sense for a superior system, with more features, fair and actually better price tag, and actually does something to make games become better versions of themeselves should be being treated like this this gen. What happened to the good days when a developer would be aiming for

making a perfect game and not how can I make the most money possible? This generation has been one disappointment after another. -DMC 4 going MP -FFXIII going MP -Now Tekken going MP all becuz MS

shells out a few bills to these developers. Sony gives them the chance to make an extraordinary game with their bluray and cell technology, yet MS keeps holding them back by stealing them away. This is obviously MS's plan. They keep buying off Sony exclusives to hinder the PS3 from ever reaching full potential. THis must have been the reason MS closed down all those 1st party studios, so they can shell out more cash for Sony exclusives. Every gen Sony tries to step up the bar on how their system can improve gaming. MS's whole goal is just how can they screw up Sony's plan. Why? Because MS has feared the inevitable ascension of Sony. Years ago Sony set out to create the ultimate entertainment hub. The PS3 is basically that dream coming to fruition, this is why MS is pulling no punches whatsoever. They will do what

ever they can in their power to keep Sony from succeeding this gen becuz they fear Sony's onslaught on the PC market. To copyrighting of features in their system that are just retarded, to having random companies suing them left and right to keep them in financial troubles, to sacrificing the quality of their own product to simply get to market first. THese companies are the worst though. SE has been the biggest let down, then Namco. These are companies with the LARGEST fanbase on Playstation and they simply abandon them for a little bit of pocket money from MS. SE has made said they wanted to be even this gen but that was a joke.

SE has given MS SO4(a PS favorite) exclusive, Infinite Undiscover exclusive(even though it was mediocre), and FFXIII( a game that was the most important to Sony's ascension) as MP. Only thing PS fans get from Square is FFvXIII exclusive and the notion that we should be grateful for that. E'F THEM! Namco gave away Katamari to 360 EXCLUSIVE and it BOMBED!!!! MS already has an exclusive fighter known as DOA which doesn't hold a candle to Tekken, and MS STILL gets Tekken. Have these companies no shame? Yes, these companies are out to make a profit but at what cost? The fanbase that made them what they are?

The company that helped them make it in the first place? The quality of the game? The PS3 and 360 are only 5 million

apart in sales, that is not enough to justify the spin of the market in present. The only answer is the good ol MS bank. Yes, I take this kind of stuff personally and very seriously. I am a Game developer in the making and the thought of what this gaming gen has come sickens me. When I finally get to putting my games and gaming ideas out there I will never sell out for money. For me it is not about that. I am all about making the best game possible, making a game that people can enjoy, while utilizing all the resources at hand. I want to make a piece of art, and that cannot be done by spreading the paint(thin) thin so it covers more canvas(userbase).

I have always believed in the notion you create a quality product and the fans will come to you. Hense the reason I love the Sony PS3.

Uhg! I am out.....

Besides being Sony biased, your haev another flaw. It's not MS fault that developers want to switch to multiplatform. Developers are the people who make that decision, not MS. MS is not apyign them to come over either, but because 360 has a larger install base over the PS3 it makes more business sense to sell their games on both consoles. They will make MORE money on the 360 console from the shear fact that there is a larger install base. That reason alone is the determining factor that gets develoeprs to go multiplatform.

You need to get over your Sony envy, realize that jsut because SP2 was a good system, does not garuntee that SP3 will be an amazing system. MS has lots to offer, and its cheaper and selling more. If you owned a company, would you go multiplat to get double the money income on a game that has put you initially in debt $x in the first place? yes you would, or else you are making a bad business decision. Sony is jsut a company, as is MS.

On top of that, look at Nintendo, NES, SNES all big sellers, N64 not as big, and GameCube even less of a seller, yet then the wii coems and blos everything out of the water. Well, consider that Sony PS3 is equivelant to Nintendo's gamecube in sales terms. from a good system seller to one that isn't selling well. So its not like this fail hasnt happened to other gaming companies in the past. But the reason you are getting 'seriously pissed' is because you cant get over the fact that SONY is failign this gen. Just pick up another console, and be happy already, and next gen its a clean slate again, pick up the best one to your opinion that generation also. Stop being glued to Sony's brand name.

Personally I don't see how Apple's growing popularity will work against them. They've made their name this far, carried by their laptops and the iPod. It's not that Microsoft is getting worse, or not getting better. It's just at this rate Apple seems to be getting better, faster.

Microsoft doesn't need the Xbox right now, but as I said, it's becoming a fall back. It's never going to earn as much money as Windows/Office, but at the moment it's starting to look a whole lot more secure.

But really the reasons don't really matter. The PS3 has done it's job in the eyes of Sony, and the 360 still has a while to go.

When Apple reaches a level of popularity like Windows, it will no longer be considered cool to own a Mac, and it will instead get like MS where it becomes vogue to hate them.

Also, as its popularity grows so will malware and other software that people assumed were exclusive to Windows. Malware makers don't really target Macs becuase there is much much less of a market to target, which people who like Macs tend to interpret as Macs are safer. Once malware is viable on Macs, you will see a much larger jump in that.

And as long as the business world still uses MS Office (including Macs), MS is secure where they are. Their largest threat right now is in the browser world, not the OS one.

And they wanted the PS3 to push Blu-Ray, true. But following the success of the PSOne and PS2, they also wanted the PS3 to turn a ni=ce profit, so I guarantee that the PS3 is far from a success for them at this stage.

Their largest threat right now is in the browser world, not the OS one.

And if you were talking about quality, I think IE lost that war a long time ago.

Latest polls suggest that IE accounts for about 70% of the market and falling. FireFox is now over 20%. Which is what I meant when I said its their biggest threat.
