A report from Newsweek has shifted further blame for the 'trouble' surrounding the PS3 onto Playstation Godfather Ken Kutaragi, the new chairman at SCE. Kutaragi has been blamed for Sony losing a number of previously exclusive titles.

quote:

A new report from Newsweek, spied today on GameSpot, places further blame for problems concerning the PS3 at Sony, firmly on the doorstep of Ken Kutaragi, the PlayStation godfather who was recently 'moved' into the role of Chairman at Sony Computer Entertainment. Reports in recent months had blamed Kutaragi's 'slowness' for the PS3 losing exclusive titles like GTA IV and Assassin's Creed.

TheMart your english is 'decling'...!

[TheMART]

MAIL MAXCONSOLE!

Copy paste dude

@ Deepbrown (below)

You still understand it probably, I don't know why you even make a post out of it. Is it THAT important?

[techie]

Well yes it does matter....especially that 5 people would let it through even after the report of the spelling. Makes this sites service run from "flamebait" to "good reporting" second. Don't you think that's a shame mart?

[Vojkan]

This is "Deja Vu" news! From previous year info

[Rockstar]

All of that 360 fanboyism must have scrambled his brain

[Rasputin2011]

The spelling correction should have been made BUT on a positive The pic is funny...."Reserve the Sony Blu-Ray Player....It also Plays Games!"

[Raist]

Funny, but completely irrelevant to the topic. But this is just another flame bait from Mart, as usual.
Instead of spending time to pick a trolling image, he should fix spelling issues :P

Back on topic. I think Kutaragi is brilliant. Very brilliant. But when it comes to PR or relations in general, it looks like he's a total ass.

[Kyur4ThePain]

I'm not reading through that abortion of "reporting"...how many exclusives were lost? Because people don't keep in mind the brand new exclusives gained...R:FOM, MS, LAIR to name but three.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

At least chose some better reviewed exclusives if you’re going to joke like that

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

I’ll just use it to say this, Hey TheMart looks like they got you down to one bubble! Yeah just like PS3 fans, they try and shut you up because you speak truth and they refuse to see the light of that truth.

[schnodder]

i really don't know what the problem is - but has anyone ever heard Wolfmothers "Woman" in Motorstorm? i always hear the same songs over and over again. it doesn't play all the songs listed in the soundtrack.

[uuuunvnv2]

it only play's that song when you pick the 10th track in the game.
oh yea, the game doesnt even have 10 tracks.....
my bad

[schnodder]

... and you don't even have 10 brain cells.

[BubblesDAVERAGE]

Yetno one seems to care...saints row...oblivion...enchanted arms...yet no one ever mentions that...and splinter cell who cares it was orinally a xbox exclusive and it will be bak multi platfrom...because it didnt sell that welll...rember that when it was only for the orginla xbox

[silent ninja]

actually 2 or 3 of those games you mentioned sold over million copies. oblivion was never xbox 360 exclusive its also on pc. splinter cells has never been exclusive to any console only sait row was exclusive

[techie]

Well Ninja Gaiden was a big loss.

Anyway Ken is a doosh. Apparently Rockstar wanted to stay on board as well as Assassins Creed, but Kennie didn't get back to them.

Note even if the ps3 couldn't support GTA4, they could have had it before the 360, but without any words rockstar said "f*ck it"

Well I mean noone has exactly lost anything! Everybody still gets the games don't they. I think this is all highly stupid.

(ps. the director at Temco said that if Ninja Gaiden Sigma sells well number two will come to the ps3)

[silent ninja]

they haven't excatelly lost ninja gaiden. sigma is a remake, when ninja gaiden 2 is annouced as multi then thats when ms will truelly have lost an exclusive

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Ninja Gaiden is the equivalent of a 3 year timed exclusive. Yeah Xbox fans lost real big playing this in there homes 3 freaking years ago.

deepbrown I know I give you PS3 fans sh!t (its fun) but I also know whats real. If you guys like Xbox games that’s great it shows what good games we have, but don’t confuse me with other hardcore fanboys. I don’t get angry or offended when third party games go to the other consoles I only give PS3 fans sh*t for because its fun and it p!sses some of you off. First party games and services are what sell this generation of consoles. I personally feel third party for all consoles is the best way to go. I may be a hardcore 360 fan but I do believe that gamers should have all third party games no matter what system PC, Console or mobile. So dont take it to Personal I’m only being a smart A$$ and giving you guys Sh!t. Gamers are gamers and when the day comes in court when games are under attack then we all stand and fight.

I only commented because some PS3 fans think they scored something big with Ninja Gaiden and I like giving reality checks.

[techie]

j...that comment was fueled by his avatar. Also there was a lot of pride with that title for it being the best action title ever made and exclusive to microsoft. I like that all these titles are being shared. GTA is a title that's perfect for the 360.

[XxZxX]

cellius get 3 new exclusive IP, that's good enuff.

[THAMMER1]

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZHmmmm Ohhhh Did I miss some thing???? Hmmm ((((NO)))) ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

[BubblesDAVERAGE]

The first splinter cell was to be a xbox exclusive...the orginal but then later on the game got ported..I rember they were saying the lighting effects were only possible on xbox

[Rasputin2011]

I remember dude...my bro had it on the original xbox and was like "I dunno know man that stealth stuff seams stupid" because I was addicted to the run n' gun style FPS BUT after I tried it I loved it and ended up almost waiting 2 hours in my Local EB for it when it came to PS2.

[gnothe1]

they said you can only get the DMC4 graphics with the power of cell.an the same thing was said about AC,VF5 an VT an many more so whats your point!!

an DEEPBROWN please provide a link showing where the NG developer said that if sigma sells good then NG2 will come to PS3.

[specialguest]

Here's the Ninja Gaiden Sigma developer video interview: http://www.gametrailers.com...

on 5:55 of the clip he says "...and I feel that if there is a market, if there is a need for a title in the future for PS3, that's something we're definately going to take into consideration for."

He didn't directly say Ninja Gaiden 2, but being that he's a Ninja Gaiden developer, it's obvious that that's what he meant.

[power of Green]

Please dont make post links about Ninja Gaiden 2 being 360 exclusive again.

[specialguest]

Ninja Gaiden Black was an Xbox exlusive, but now it's being released on the PS3. OH, WHAT HAPPENED? I THOUGHT IT WAS AN EXCLUSIVE?!?

What makes you 100% certain that Ninja Gaiden 2 won't be coming out for the PS3 let say about a year later after the 360s version if demands were high among PS3 owners? Yes, even with the big old EXCLUSIVE stamp on it.

This article has no legs. First the rules of posting a news story is to link to the original article. This story links to this site http://play.tm/story/9615 of which its states he saw a story from Newsweek on GameSpot. I did a search of both Newsweek and Gamespot and can't find any articles that would back up what is being reported for this time period.

There was a news story back in November regarding this so its just bringing back old news and dressing it up as new. At the end of the day both consoles have lost exclusives from 3rd party developers due to the install base being low and developement cost spiraling.

"There was a news story back in November regarding this so its just bringing back old news and dressing it up as new. At the end of the day both consoles have lost exclusives from 3rd party developers due to the install base being low and developement cost spiraling."

The above quote by VG says it all.

[MikeGdaGod]

a little birdy told me, the ps3 will soon be getting MAJOR games that were once 360 exclusives. this is not the info we saw posted the other day, i actually got the names of a few titles. i wish i could say more but my source visits this site and asked me not to say anything. i can guarantee that you guys will be floored. just wait and see. anyday now....

how did this get approved with the bogus spelling? i don't care if it is a copy and past. you should know how to spell something that you post for everyone to see.

[Kyur4ThePain]

to lose Mart? Come on, this is a bunch of old crap!
This site is becoming a joke.

[Ps3007]

This stuff is getting old. Im sure that the fact that it costs 20 million to make a decent game has more to do with it then 1 guy...

After all 360 lost exclusives with 10 million units out there.

Oblivion
GRAW
Saints Row
Splinter Cell
etc...

Seriously who cares anymore can we get back to gaming now? Obviously all consoles are good one way or another just accept it....

Companies won this generation NOT gamers. Dont know why you all defend them.. Gamers got screwed this generation. From DX10 being Windows Vista exclusive to Gears of War (mabe the best game ever) only going onto 1 platform and being rushed on top of it...

Who cares...

[Xi]

those were never exclusive.

[Xi]

maybe you should post recent and interesting news rather than old flaimbait. This article came out when Koei decided to make their games multi platform.

[Boink]

everyone knew ken is sinking this ship. him and kaz have got to go. they have lost touch with the industry(not just gaming).

[lil bush]

boring story
