GR: Last night, during Sony's Tokyo Game Show press conference, the console manufacturer announced a new, slimmer, and lighter PlayStation 3 console with larger HDD options. That's great and all, but two things really struck me as strange, one of which I would consider downright confusing.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
So true. Sony's stubbornness has repeatedly hurt their standing this generation. $600 launch, removal of features that highly-technical consumers retaliate over, new design, same price?
All huge mistakes.
Keep in mind how much money they lost on the launch ps3's. Give them a chance to make a profit. LOL
I think Sony should attempt to bundle both the Vita and PS3 for one happy price. I mean, they already have the Cross-Buy program going.
As has been pointed out by many outlets, the strength of the yen versus the dollar is killing Sony's pricing strategies.
