Sony keeps whining and taking shots at their competitors. Why can't they just focus on their own problems.

"[Sony has] titles ranging from Killzone to EyePet. PlayStation is a very big tent and ... it's helped us sell 377 million PlayStation hardware products and two billion software products in 15 years," the executive added.

Not that hard when your second gen console [ps2] sold 150 million + units..but then again Sony is right about the statement itself

I actually don't have a problem with companies taking aim at their competitors. Its just business. However, I do ponder if Sony REALLY wants to get in a fight with MS. Microsoft has shown (with letting Apple pick on them) that they will ignore jabs when they know the are securely at the top. However, they may fight back in this case. Sony doesn't have the finances to fight MS. They took out Sega (which I am still bitter about), but this is a different beast completely.

So what will happen if you take away the shooters and racers...?360 will fail and start making casual games with kinect?

They are crying and whining cuz 360 gets so much of its sales from one genre. They are pretty much whining and being jealous and desperate.

Well Sony has room to talk. They've been consistently releasing quality games from all sorts of genres. And they sell quite well, too. That being said, Sony should still focus more on their own backs as of now. They still need to catch up in the sales race.

Actually hexashadow13 isn't a Lemming. Just because someone says something about the PC, 360, PS3 or WII doesn't make them a fanboy for a particular system.

reguardless microsoft still isn't taking as many risks as they were when this gen started. They have been playing it very safe for sometime now while sony has been getting very lucky with games like LPB and demon souls.

It funny how lems said Aaron Greenburg was "stating facts" when he said that the Xbox360 was the goto console for gaming (sure, if ignore that the other consoles exist as well maybe) but call Sony a bunch of whiners for pointing out that they aren't going after just one genre as MS (which MS even stated). Hypercrtical much?

you can't discredit alan wake because of it flopped on this site. Last time i checked an 8.5 was still a pretty high score for any game. As for sales microsoft should have done a better job marketing the game.

I know a majority in that thread were fanboys though. One oh-so-enlighening fellow even tried to claim Aaron was talking about American sales....in Japan at TGS...
