Is Sony winning the console war really best for the industry?

In a recent Forbes interview, SCEA President and CEO, Jack Tretton, discussed the quality of the PlayStation 3 and the value you're getting for the now $299 asking price. Also, he mentioned that Sony winning this generation of gaming would be the best thing for the industry as a whole. Of course, being the guy that runs the place, he might be somewhat biased, but does he have a point?

Of course. If the Playstation 3 had more sales than the Wii and Xbox 360, there wouldn't world hunger, there wouldn't be a recession, Michael Jackson wouldn't have died and gone on and created an album as great as Thriller, George Lucas would've made Crystal Skull good, Kanye West would've accepted Taylor Swift winning that award, Gabe Newell would've lost weight on the Jenny Craig weight loss program, George Bush would've been hit by that shoe, and a Rush Hour 4 would've already been announced.

Sony winning is the only way.

Well if you look a the ps1 and ps2 era and think how it went I think its pretty safe to say yes.PS= more variety in games, new medium for game and more,innovations the list goes on. So ya a big fat YES

Much better than Microsoft winning, with milking their franchises and throwing money around just to get exclusive content.

The industry would be fine. They were fine when the PS2 was #1, why wouldn't they be now? In fact, it would be great for the industry - they would have gone from 3rd to 1st. That's one heck of an accomplishment.

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil3d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai3d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle2d ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa2d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal2d ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
