I just beat it.  It's a great game.  But seriously what were they thinking by putting it out on the PS2?  GOW2 would have definatly been a system seller if it had been a PS3 exclusive even without any enhancments to it.

They still need to grow the franchise there first. With Heavenly Sword , they have something appealing for the God of War fans to sell systems to those people.

He's saying that it would help the PS3 sells if it was on the PS3 instead of the PS2, I believe.

I think it was just a matter of 100 million+ PS2 owners vs. 1-2 million PS3 owners.

Exactly.

And PS2 doesn't have to end just because Xbox/GC did. Sony promises a long lifespan for their consoles and they constantly deliver.

I have no interest in Heavily Sword.  I've never  played a previous version so I don't know what I'm missing if I am missing something.  GOW3 is a non-issue because that won't be out for years.  They arn't even working on it yet.

I bet you £10 that Sony are working on GOW3 but secretly, Sony started working on GOW2 once they finished GOW

Although it wouldn't be 6.5, he's right. To an extent. The PS3 has WAY higher standards, the game would have gotten lower even with up to date PS3 visuals and sound. Games are scored differently for each platform.

They do deliver. From time to time. I enjoyed a lot of Sony games. SotC is one of my favorite PS2 games.

They need to make money. They can't sell enough copies on PS3 to do that. Honestly it was financially smarter for them to put it out on PS2. It took less time to develop. It cost less to develop than a PS3 game and it has a greater install  base with PS2! So yes it would have sold PS3's not as many as you think with a $600 price tag.

Its not Sony's choice its the developers. Do you think they would put it on a console which has sold 2 million console or over 100 million.

Not really. Many people have begun to talk about the PSP and how it may meet an early demise. It sold, but it's not going to last a long time, despite being a decent handheld.

That's an even better idea.  They could have released the PS3 version a few months early.

That move by Nintendo was quite cheap. They did right by giving more push to the PS2, it's not like the call it quits on past consoles like others do.

OK? Does it matter that the "japs" like the Wii 40000000% times more than the 360? No.

no,but the reason why both are selling well (the wii and ds) is because of the new innovation they have involved, the psp went with just basics, despite the fact it can do movies and music, but so can all mp3 players nowadays
