PS3 pulling a Saturn?
shmokes:
I really doubt there is a single Genre that is better represented on the N64 than the PS, or better represented on the cube than the PS2. I mean, maybe Zelda is the best action RPG, but it's not like Sony has ignored the genre simply because they can't get the Nintendo exclusives or because other genres, like sports, racing and war games are also well-represented.
Sony may have more of the games you don't like but they almost definitely have more of the games you like, because they simply have way more games period. That's what makes it so exciting to me that it looks like the 3rd parties, after a two-generation hiatus, are finally making a comeback to Nintendo.

You do realize that Sony does NOT pay those companies to make those games... they see a hole (or perceive one) in a genre and make it themselves.

um hmmmmm........
it depends on what games you like to play and how much you want to spend on something to play them.
each has their strong and weak points and their fanboys but in the end i will have them all and in the darkness binds them. of course im not touching ps3 till 2010 or 12 depending.
ehh halo 3. first one great second was alright and the third we will see. dont get me wrong i like halo 2 just that the combat seems to have been changed in a way that rattled me.
it should be gameplay before graphics but some people get games based on graphics. i know this kid and he would always claim a game was great based on graphics. if its not fun who cares.
i find a lot of stuff is getting repeated by everyone in these topics. hmmm. it doesnt matter what we want the companies will keep making those dreaded movie based games (except star wars games which are good with some exceptions like force commander but dark forces was great) and just make worse clones of other hits.
and they dont perceive a hole i think. i see it as they see a good game mario kart and how well it did and make a copy for a ps1 franchise that does somewhat well. i always hated how in every crash game you had to have a level of you running towards the camera away from something (a bear or a log).
just because they have more games doesnt mean they are better. who wants to play 20 different sports games when you only need one per sport. same for racing a flooded market. there really isnt a difference in the games except graphics otherwise same tracks more or less. it had some decent rpgs but i still like my 64 over a ps1.
