The only decent game the Ps3 had at launch was RFOM, Ratchet and Clank with a little casual appeal and non violent looking style and gameplay helped the Ps3 last year to not slump further down, Isnt Insomniac second party to sony? They should be thankful.

And lets not even talk about Konami. Sony owes them heart and soul specially to kojima.

Sony owes it all to them and several others that sticked by and developed for the PS3 exclusively even though it wasn't the most profitable choice. Insomiac is doing a lot for the PS3 , they're releasing sequels to both R&C and Resistance this year and what better way to thank them than buying both games which are sure to be awesome :D

Yes, a lot moreso then Sony. The original XBOX would have slipped under the carpet, and sold like the dreamcast, if it wasn't for halo.

None

It's just that all systems have a few games in the beginning which make the console atleast playable, my 360 was useless til Gears came out ;)

I agree. The PS3 had a hard enough time building itself up, so just imagine if Insomniac didn't deliver the PS3's best titles for its first year or so on the market. Resistance and R&C really were great games, especially when the PS3 was struggling to get its foot in the door. Now, we're in 2008 and Insomniac is set to deliver another tale in the R&C trilogy and also the sequel to Resistance. Insomniac really has held the PS3 up.

Their console division would. Without Halo, they would have pulled a Dreamcast on the Xbox1.

The 360 would have had a harder time if Epic did not let MS buy Gears of War.

MS owes it all the to Bungie, and lets not even mention Epic Games.

Nintendo owes it all to Miyamoto.

Every console manufacturer has it's devs without whom they would not be doing so well.

And those are a -few- of the other titles Sony showed.
So when did 3/11+ become 90%?

Resistance 2 got a lot of air time compared to anything else except maybe LBP if you count the graphs

Resistance did very little to help the PS3 to penetrate the market, that is evident in the "recent" growth in sales for the game.

Actually, Sony wouldn't be here if it weren't for Ninty. The Playstation was originally going to a CD add-on for the SNES, but Ninty scrapped them because they didnt' want to be taken over by Sony.

IMO. their games look and play well enough i suppose, but still, they tend to suffer from stupid little design choices and all feel incredibly generic. IMO...

I submitted this to moderation, its not system wars.

and also because I don't like you.

marmadukefan

But, the topic has perfect reason to get to a war eventuallly.,

Yes, I'd say this is the perfect place for this topic.

Plus, if you don't like him, then that could be against you for wasting the moderator's time. =/

Agreed. Ratchet helped sony live through the holidays last year. Why? That was THE ONLY 1st party sony franchise that was proven that released. Heavenly Sword? New IP. Uncharted? New IP. Warhawk? New IP (who the hell played the game on PS1?), Folklore? New IP... You get the point. Ratchet was a big help since it was at least a proven franchise launching. Insomniac is once again holding sony's hand through this holiday with Resistance 2...

Sony better make love to Kojima for MGS4.

What else did the Ps3 had at launch aside RFOM? Insomniac is unconditionally loyal to sony, They should invest more in their studio.

Well there was also Motorstorm and if Sony didn't had Insomniac they could just change plans accordingly and release somthing else.

But I agree that they should invest in a big project the likes of Killzone 2.
