Sony don't buy exclusives

SCEA President: "We don't buy exclusivity."

In a not-very-disguised jab at Microsoft, SCEA President Jack Tretton told PSM in the latest issue:

"We have a very different approach to exclusives than some of our competitors. We don't buy exclusivity. We don't fund development. We don't, for lack of a better term, bribe somebody to only do a game on our platform. We earn it..." :lol::lol::lol:

He went on to say...

"Microsoft is too dependent on the third-party community, :question: and Nintendo is too depended on first-party. We like to feel that we got a pretty good mix." :lol:

Well Sony, maybe you should buy some exclusives, then you might have some games that make people want to buy your console, :lol:

So, in other words, "we don't try to get games. Games try to get us."

Hmm, maybe that's why the PS3 is failing.

lol thats such BS, what would you call GTA (I mean earlier GTA not GTA4) being time exclusive, that was a contract they had with R*.

the ps3 has not failed, fanboys need to get a life. the console has only been out in europe for 3 months and is already getting a nice drip feed of games.

launch:

resistance, motostorn, formula 1, oblivion

last week, rainbow 6

this week, ninja gaiden

week after, the darkness

i dont see how anyone can say it is failing

Yeah PS3 is doing fine, its just not doing as expected which is why I guess people are on sony's case all the time.

they dont fund development?

so the devs of little big planet just chose sony for no reason at all

Why do I hear this kind of response every time a CEO of Sony says something stupid?

Sony as a whole has enough money yes, but the entertainment department of the company only gets a portion of it to spend. I'm not saying thats why they are not doing it but to say they have nearly unlimited money to buy things is completely false.

Also many of the different sections of Sony don't even work together, for example Sony music was giving away a Xbox 360 in a Promotion a while back even though they are part of Sony. The only thing they have in common is that they all give their earnings to the main corporation which is the base of the entire company.

Actually they did in a interview they had with the devolepers of little big planetthey said they had two choices go with nintendo or sony and they choose sony because the Ps3 could do some pretty amazing physics and thats what they needed for the game..

I'd say being outsold 6 to 1 by the Wii, and nearly being outsold by the 360 in Japan isn't a good sign at all. But still, even hardcore cows should feel dirty after hearing such a dumb comment.

But with the recent suits who is to say the main resources weren't given to the hardware department for the batteries and stuff like that? I agree with what your saying but what you said about the entertainment department having full controll over the money is wrong since they are not always given what they want but only what they can get.

"We earn it..."

Bullets4Brains

Yep, you earned it alright.

In a not-very-disguised jab at Microsoft, SCEA PSquare, which lost 16.6 billion yen last year after an unsuccessful foray into movie making, received a 14.9 billion yen funds injection from Sony last year to strengthen its capital and financial footing. resident Jack Tretton told PSM in the latest issue:

Maybe they can't afford to have MGS4 and FF13 as an exclusives.

Konami and Square Enix will Whore out in time.

It's just a matter of how much and when.

Yeah I know, I agree with you. :P

I was just stating that at some times they may not be able to get funds even if the company is a multi-billion dollar company.

It should be obvious...

"We don't offer developers anythign in return and we don't fund development, we simply remind them about how we're Sony!"

MegaPigeon

Buying exclusives is nothing to brag about. The best thing to do, would be provide a platform so much better then the competitors that technical difference would guarantee exclusivity. Developers are yet to find such thing in the ps3. lordxymor

If they want more exclusivities they better START picking up exclusivity rights. Thats like gaming 101. -_-Vandalvideo

They're doing that by publishing the games. It's called 2nd party. They were doing it last gen with Insomniac, and this gen they've added Factor 5, Media Molecule, and possibly even Quantic Dream (depending on whether Heavy Rain is a one time thing for Sony, or whether QD signed an exclusivity contract with the company)to their list of exclusive 2nd party developers.

It is to my understanding that the ps3 is the fastest selling playstation of all time.

so if its selling better then the ps one, did at launch and is also selling faster then the Ps2 there is no justification to say this console has failed.

i dont think selling 165,000 systems in to days means it has failed.

Hence "most." But yeah, I know that's there are sheep and take Reggie's word as gospel and lemmings who take Moore's word as gospel, but when Sony lets garbage like this out to the press, the blind cows become much more apparent.

Dear Sony,

Fire Jack Tretton ASAP. The man is a PR disaster and is lowering the collective IQ of your company.

Although over the last few months its been said that they have lowerd the production cost of the ps3.Which makes me wonder if we really will see something disscused a price drop at E3.

Yeah that good ole racing horse Miss Bestie, with one broke leg and a twisted ankle is doing just fine in this here Kentucky Derby...She was last years champion so if you give her some time she will show em all whose boss!!!! Just because them other steeds ran out the gate in a flash and is about to lap Miss Bestie doesnt mean we dont have the faith in our champion, she can pull through for the win.

Sad to see so many gamers in denial regarding the status of Sony and the PS3...If MS or Ninty were in Sony's position this gen (lack of sales hardware/software), the Sony clan would have unanimously called their consoles a bust.. But as we all know its a Sony, so its OK!

Game On....
