Enterbrain Prez: wait for high-profile titles!

Posted Apr 14, 2007 at 10:38PM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: PS3 Tags: Enterbrain, Hirokazu Hamamura, playstation 3 updates, PS1, PS2

The PS3 may not be selling as well as it would like these days, but leave it to someone of great influence across all of console fandom to say something to lighten the hearts of PS3 fanboys everywhere. Hirokazu Hamamura, president of Japanese magazine publisher Enterbrain, said that interest in the PS3 is expected to rise once the high-profile titles come in force.

Speaking at a lecture recently, Hamamura said that the PS3 still has its strength in its roots as the successor of the highly-popular PS1 and PS2. With many of the great games set to come out for the PS3, its future success is evident, but is hampered by the lack of specific dates to wait for and increasing doubt among who are running out of patience for their favorite games to be finalized. He says, however, that once the PS3's high profile titles come out, fortunes are certain to change as time passes.

He cites Final Fantasy XIII and Metal Gear Solid 4 as two games to watch out for, saying that once the two games are out, PS3 fans can expect even more units pushed out as the primary reasons for people wanting the PS3 are revealed. In the meantime, all we have to is wait, and hope, and pray.

Those are the big known players in japan (FF) and western (MGS). Others games are going to be released in fall, LAIR (looking awesome and very exciting gameplay), Warhawk (Multiplayer mayhem), Ratchet and Clank Future (Awesome too, who doesnt know this game?), Heavenly Sword (graphically awesome as well, I expect to be a lot of fun). Those are confirmed. Probably other titles are coming as well, Uncharted for example. In the PSN arena Calling All Cars is coming real soon now, I expect this game be extremely enjoyable.

I don't like any of the games you mentioned, I don't even like the Wii at all, but I'm not saying they are crap, some people like you like them so everything is OK.

You may know Sony most readily as the company that recently recalled something on the order of every laptop battery ever made because of a small glitch (they explode). Then there was the "rootkit" debacle, where Sony secretly installed hidden bull***** on your computer. One of Sony BMG's presidents handled the situation with the delicacy of a gang rape with this quote: "Most people, I think, don't even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care about it?" Good point, *****-head! And before that, Sony was known for its *****ty optical drives in their PS2s, resulting in a class action lawsuit. The word "*****ty" in the previous sentence is a bit misleading, since I also use the word to describe Renée Zellweger's life, and having to void your warranty by adjusting a cog to fix a misaligned laser inside your PS2 is slightly *****tier.

Not content with the reaming they give consumers with their shoddy products and condescending attitude, Sony determined that it didn't have enough bad press, so they decided to wield their giant gnarled ***** of corporate greed again, this time training it on a small-time import shop called "Lik Sang." Lik Sang was a haven for nerds who wanted to import games and systems from other countries. It turns out that Lik Sang broke some major laws that not only earned them the scorn of Sony, but pissed Sony off to the point where they sued Lik Sang into oblivion. So what was this grave infraction committed against Sony that not only threatened the very foundation of this giant multi-national corporation, but warranted destroying the lives and careers of a group of dorks running a gaming website? Simple: they committed the mortal sin of selling Japanese PSPs to European gamers. Oh no! Not that!

When I read the law suit, I did a double take to make sure I read it correctly. Sony is suing to prevent people from selling PSPs? Great move, morons! Because if there's anything Sony needs right now, it's fewer people buying PSPs. In fact, PSP sales are part of the reason Sony expects to lose $1.7 billion dollars in their gaming division by March. That means that I and anyone else who makes any money at all between now and March (or at least manages not to lose more than $1,699,999,999.99) will officially make more money than Sony's gaming division. I rule.

This isn't the first time Sony bullied a gaming website for selling PSP imports. In June of 2005, Sony sued a website called ElectricBirdLan d (Sony literally hired men in dark sunglasses to deliver the papers to the defendant, because Sony is insecure about the size of its *****), stating that the sale of Japanese PSPs to the UK could hurt their ability to exploit the "excitement and anticipation of the market." Hey Sony, you know what else could help you exploit the excitement and anticipation of the market? The PSP not sucking:

Sony's strategy towards portable gaming seems to be to take the same *****ty first generation Playstation games that weren't great to begin with, and make them portable so now we can take an example of Sony's utter-inability-to-stop-sucking with us everywhere we go. Nobody wants to buy movies in your stupid proprietary format, *****s!

So why does a company that relies on consumer satisfaction and brand recognition treat its fans with such contempt? Because...

Sony hates you.

Sony would love nothing more than to see you and your family suffer. Sony is like that psycho-ex who you had a few good times with, but was too clingy and the sex got boring. Now it's over and Sony is still stewing about it by leaving you voice mail asking for another chance and promising it "can change."

Tough ***** Sony. We've moved on. We're dating your younger, hotter sister, Wii. Even your fuglier step-sister, Xbox 360, looks hotter than you do. At least she's been around the block a few times and knows how to turn tricks. You've got nothing, and it's going to stay that way until you stop being a crabby old *****.

Dude, I feel sorry for you. I feel sorry because a video game console for children controls your life. Who cares if you like one product over the other.

Anyway, if you want to complain, that's fine, but at least have some original thoughts. Unless you quote and cite your sources, that's plagiarism.

How about games that AREN'T made for 6 year olds?
