XMNR: On Sunday, Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter revealed some of what Sony has planned for this year's E3 press conference on June 4 and it should provide a stark contrast to Microsoft's multimedia entertainment focus for the Xbox 360. He also thinks the PS3 is in for another round of price cuts despite recent financial disclosures that pointed to the last console price cut as part of the reason for the company's losses.
Sony has recruited Bungie's head of revenue Jaremy Rich to head up its live-service gaming division, Rich has announced on social media.
Please do not put Destiny’s monetization into Sony’s first party games. The monetization is what’s driving players away from Destiny.
I mean, this person made some pretty bad decisions at Bungie. I hope they've learned from them because I definitely don't see those type of ideas as good for PlaySation in general.
Ps5 gamers in 2023 seemed to play more live service types of games, so regardless to how people feel about them, numbers don’t lie and Sony is going where the money is. I mean look at the excitement around Helldivers2, people are showing that they want live service games.
How do you kill a franchise that already been killed?
Destiny’s grind, cash-in-on-playbass-cha-Ching, and pop-culture-insertion mainstream-me-too bs totally killed any rep Bungie had. Sony/Bungie, if you are doing this to ward-off players, it’s already working.
Sony has patented to add multiple dialogue modes to let players switch between how many conversations with NPCs they want in the game.
Sony is like the only ones outta the 3 that has atuff like like this pop up changing thing in ways.
Genuine Enabling Technology was seeking damages, claiming the tech allowing PlayStation consoles and controllers to communicate infringes its rights.
Sounds like patent trolling they tried the same thing against Nintendo with the same pattern.
Motion and control input traversing over higher and lower frequencies seperate from each other allowing the controller to do both
So to recoup the money Genuine is going to take on Nintendo or Microsoft next. I hate patent lawyers they are some of the worst bottom feeders out there.
Sony main focus @E3 should be the Vita since it really needs the software support
I hope they show some new games for PS Vita. Now a God of war for Vita would make my day!!! Or atleast Killzone for vita since thats what im looking forward to the most :D
"Analyst: Sony will focus on games at E3"
Mind = blown I thought they were going to talk about shoes.
I love how Pachter has lost so much credibility, that the writer decided to go with "analyst" instead of Pachter in the title. Ok, I know that's probably not why he did it, but can you imagine?
the ps3 is doing fine.... some new psn and retail games would be cool and all
By the time E3 hits the thing should've crossed 2 million...
memory card price cuts by at least a 1/3
