Quote:I didn't see any mention of it. I was actually interested in it (I love party games).
Japanese launch title, not US, I meant... :)
Quote:Perhaps this one is just more publicized than others. I remember all the PSP problems but even that seemed like less of a deal than this launch.
Doesn't every Sony launch have problems? :)
Quote:Getting the developers on board and having them stay is really important if Microsoft wants to compete with Sony for king of the video game hill. The next playstation is a no brainer for developers, consumers are going to buy it in droves. I think it was crucial that Microsoft not make the Xbox 360 a second thought, and getting out first was important to make that happen. As someone suggested (Dark Jaguar?), the question is whether they'll stay or not. If Microsoft can stay ahead of the PS3 long enough then it was a good move afterall.
And now they're going to get some support, but do you really think that it'll mean that they'll be calling the shots and not Sony once the PS3 comes out? Sony will only lose if it defeats itsself -- not because of whatever MS does.
