MGS4. And that game spiked PS3 sales when it came out so 1st party games can move consoles especially early in the generation.Quote:

Oh yeah of course not. In fact PS2 main success was based on 3rd party games that Xbox didnt have.Quote:

I was actually referring to Wii Sports lolQuote:

Of course. But I was just referring to 3rd party games vs 1st party games. Never said exclusives weren't important.Quote:

Yeah I don't see how that is a valid argument as well. Exclusives are the cornerstones that consoles found themselves on. They apparently matter enough for console companies to back certain titles. I.E.-Mario and Zelda with Nintendo, Halo and Gears with MS, and GOW and Uncharted for Sony.Quote:

Well, think of it this way. We're all waiting to know what the CPU, GPU and RAM will look like, right? Those aren't Sony designed parts. We know the BluRay is making a comeback because it is in the latest wave of devkits. We know it will have internet, because, duh. Sony will need to design and manufacture a PCB/board as well as cooling, but that can exist on paper.Quote:

So, does Sony have some wiggle room as long as they keep their mouth shut and don't commit to a launch window? The answer is absolutely yes. They do.
Oh my how the tables have turned. :lol:
