Father of Sony PlayStation steps down

[Joe88]

First off this news is SOoooo Old.

The PS2 had $#@!ty launch games and it did fine. As for reasons why? Well publishers that invest tons of money in AAA games will want an install base to build first so they do not release them at launch. Secondly, AAA games could take around 4 years of so to complete, and final hardware is usually available 6 months before launch so devs making AAA games would rather take more time to get used to the hardware to give the game that quality, hence they won't be available at launch. Making good things takes time.. .especially on new hardware... which is why the majority of games at launch are usually rushed and suck. The only reason the Wii had the Legend of Zelda was because it was in devleopment for the Gamecube a long time ago and then ported to the Wii.

There are reason things happen the way they do... let's stop being whiny bitches about it. And as for suggesting separating Blu-Ray from PS3... ummm then how do you expect games to take advantage of Blu-Ray? It's not just for movies you know... It would be a stupid idea. The only advantange it gives is a lower price, which will happen all on its own in due time anyway...

the best response in the whole thread

Even for sarcasm, that was just plain rude.

I'm still waiting to see a SINGLE decent game for PS3. Where's your AAA game?

It's a bit late, for me.

Also, seeing that they are porting Saints Row to PS3 only makes me think that they don't have a single decent game up their sleeve.

Sell your PS3, before no one will buy it.

huh final fantasy X and halo were both launch titles as for legend of zelda that was ported to the gamecube that version is the mirrored version and was released later

blu-ray movies are out only because of the ps3 i'm not 100% sure about it but i haven't seen any blu-ray players as of yet as for the lack of the blu-ray i dunno thats more storage like way more storage than dvd's can i even say it...the Xbox 360 i'm not sure of that one though so don't hold me to it

yeah those AAA games are way down the road btw
