SCE = Largest game maker. BUT!

They manage their studios HORRIBLY. They are probably the largest game maker, with alot of successful franchises with the worst managment ever. Let's take a look studio by studio:

SCEI

Clap Hanz: Besides Hot shots golf, what have they done? They aren't too bad though.

Polypony Digital: GTHD, GT5: Prologue demo, GT5: Prologue, GT5: Prologue Spec III: WTF? Just make GT5!!! this game should have come out this year, if not last year. Stop wasting your time on these stupid preludes to the real game. This is Sony's biggest franchise by far, and would have helped them not lose as much money in the begining of it's life.

SCEJ: Siren team did a remake of a ps2 game. Cool. Where's Ape escape?

Team ICO: They always take 4 years to make a game, so they are okay.

Why hasn't Sony bought Level-5? Or at least another Jrpgs maker? Or at least publish more exclusive Jrpgs. They would be fine in Japan if they just did that...

SCEA

Incognito: Warhawk was cool. But expansion packs are boring, where's their new game? Is there one?

Naughty Dog: They are okay but they better start pumping out a game per year now that they are firmiliar with PS3s architecture.

SCE Bend: They have been focused on PSP and are doing great at supporting it with great games.

SCE San diego: The NBA series NEEDS to die. The games suck. They don't sell. Just focus on MLB.

SCE Santa Monica: Why didn't GoW2 come out on PS3??? Seriously the PS3 needed this in 2007. They could have made the visuals better if they delayed it a few months, or more, it could have come out in holiday 07 and been a GOTY contender for PS3. It would have sold more copies, and would have sold PS3s. How dumb could they be? Are they trying to ensure PS2s lifecycle? 1 game wouldn't have stopped it from going for 10 years. That 1 game would have helped PS3 immensly though.

SOE: IDK, they are okay I guess. their PSN and PC stuff is good.

Zipper: MAG? You gave one of your biggest franchises (SOCOM) to some no-name developer (possibly ruining it's reputation) so you could make MAG? Don't get me wrong, MAG looks AWESOME. But WTF? Why couldn't they apply the idea of MAG to a freakin SOCOM game??? I would understand if they wanted to do a different type of game for once. But it's a realistic online shooter type game with massive amounts of players, how would that not work with SOCOM? :|

SCEE:

BigBig studios: They better be working on a new PSP game.

Evolution Studios: They are fine. MS came out last year and sold millions. MS2 is coming soon and will sell millions more.

Guerilla Games::lol: Sony are you trying to make them your version of bungie? They failed you with the first KZ. It's done. You gotta know when to say enough is enough. Try again, with another better studio instead of pumping 10s of millions into some unproved dev like Guerilla. You think gamers are going to forget about the first KZ? You can't make a flagship franchise when the first game in the series scores so low. Get rid of them and buy a JRPG maker. That's what you need.

SCE London: This is their biggest european branch. They canceled The Getaway and Eight days (after years of development) to focus on Casual games. Need I say more?

SCE studio Cambridge: WTF have they even been doing? Oh, right more useless features for PS3.

SCE studio Liverpool: Wipeout HD should have been a full fledged game. Not much else to say, now that they no longer have the F1 license they should work on a new Colony Wars game (IMO).

ALSO: Where's Twisted Metal? R&C:FTOD should have had online play. AND I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH: make sure you get more JRPGS exclusively on PS3. Why has sony forgotten the need for JRPGS in japan?

Seriously, even with PS3s high price, they could have made PS3 a success if only they managed their studios better...

Some very good points....I liked the comment about Ape Escape because my son has been waiting on a new one.

Sony has got the right idea.

Instead of pumping game after game out, they make sure what they put out is quality, or least they make a very good attempt at putting out quality products.

Unlike Nintendo, they aren't exactly at the point were they are the sole breadwinner as far as quality games come from on their system. Not knocking Nintendo, but seriously, they aren't forced to pump out game after game.

elbow2k

the idea is to make money while maintaing a good reputation among their main audience. Nintendo is selling quillions of games, and the casuals love them.

sony is not making enough on their games considering the large maounts of studios they have. MS probably makes more this year and they have what? 3 studios? that's pathetic.

@ tc Sony got GG after killzone 1 andmade 20 devs into 135+, and funded them with a hollywood movie budget, killzone 2 is an amazing game accept it, not only is it best graphics on consoles, but almost everyone in the beta has said that the gameplay is amazing better than COD4, so GG did not fail , and u think sony should get rid of them bcz gamerz (aka fanboys on SW) will think bad of them for this work with killzone 1?.. ROFL ur a joke

I would like to add where is the support for the PSP? I could be wrong but in the last 6 months there has only been two SCE games "Secret agent Clank and Hot Shots".

It's almost like they have given up on the system.

they gave up because of a mistake the hardware desgners made. it's fundamentally easy to pirate games on PSP. it's attatch rate is epicly low. they should have realized that no matter how many silly FW updates they add, pirates will rape PSP for all it's capabilities.

another thing SCE managed horribly.

It's so sad looking at a system die. The PSP is a great handheld there are a number of good games.

I was looking at upcoming games right after I made the last post. In the month of December 3 games come out. 3 games that is it. There is only 8 more games coming out for rest of the year.

SCE London was the worst. What a disappointing branch of SCE.fakecliche

I LOVE YOUR SIG
