Experts talk about what Sony needs in E3 to get flying colors |

E3 is the major event for gamers, developers, and publishers alike. Whatever waves that huge hurricane of video games create can decide whether something will end up a tsunami, or ultimately flop. That said, Sony will need a great boost from this much anticipated gathering where everyone is fighting for the spotlight. Industry experts Michael Pachter, Billy Berghammer, N'Gai Croal, and Shane Shatterfield sat down with Geoff Keighly to discuss about what can revitalize the PS3 and PSP.
Hottest issues on PS3's shoulders include exclusivity, the steep price, and the fact that some don't experience hardware superiority that Sony promised.
The guys at Bonus Round pretty much concluded that the PS3 needs more games to increase momentum. Lair, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Final Fantasy XIII, and Metal Gear Solid 4 have been mentioned. As Shatterfield said, "Metal Gear Solid 4 can't come soon enough, Final Fantasy XIII can't come soon enough."
Pachter, known to talk a lot about price cuts, couldn't stress it more that the hefty PS3 needs to lower its tag. He believes that an announcement regarding the matter on E3 should give console sales a lift.
About the PSP, Pachter said that publishers should look at the handheld in a different light. According to him, games have been aiming for an immersive experience - something against the pick-up and play nature of portable game devices.

Not only pick-up and play. NDS is for that.
PSP is for a different crowd, stop trying to turn into an NDS.
I for one want my Disgaea, Monster Hunter, Grant Theft Auto and all the PSX/PSP/GBA/SNES jRPGs I can eat on my PSP.

Just like they neglect the PSP, they will neglect the PS3 and expect their reputation to make them their sales. Not a good strategy especially when there's the 360 on the loose.

I don't mind too much as I know how to convert movies n such, but it would still be nice to see sony back up their word....
Like common sense, my biggest beef is that Sony continues to lie and treat the consumer like an idiot....but unfortunately most consumer are idiots because they actually beleive Sony....

2. Your right. GTA4 could have been a ps3 exclusive if they paid rockstar. That the main reason why XBOX 360 has exclusive content. I also wonder is the 360 is goin to have GTA5 because of the 360 LIMITED SPACE. Its already using two discs for GTA4. Imagine GTA5 on three discs?!! Thats insane. (swaping discs to go to other parts of the city n *****.)
3. And yea psp wit PS3 together...USELESS!!
Who needs it?? Waste of time. But it also neat in some ways.

"I have a bigger library of 360 games now about 15 and 2 launch titles on the ps3 and I must say for just launch titles they have way better graphics then any 360 game I HAVE."
To this you responded:
"How old are the XBOX 360 games you have? They must be launch games."
If that is not an admission that the PS3 had better launch titles, at least in your opinion, then I guess that I don't know what is!
Were you on drugs when you made that statement? That doesn't sound like most of the irrational and fanboyish comments that come from you. Most of what you say is rubbish. I wish that you could at least debate facts instead of opinions and lies once in a while.
Go play your 360!

They think ahead and build quality products, most of what they do, they do it with perfection.
Sony make excellent games and aren't turning the gaming industry into a MacDonalds all you can buffet like what MS is trying to do. They really do try make compelling games. It just depends on your taste. Motorstorm is one of the best racers i've played for a while, Eye of Judgement is a very interesting card game, Uncharted is interesting and fresh looking title. Ratchet and Clank looks gorgeous and should have stelling gameplay. Wipeout is incoming and will be a smash, GT 5 always pushes the boundaries of excellence. Eye Identify looks like it will be alot of fun. Lair has an intereting plot and im impressed with the visuals etc.. what im trying to say is that the Xbox 360 is too average, i mean i sold my Xbox 360, i played gears and it was probably the best multiplayer games i've played but i dont miss it, i played PGR3 and it was one of the fastest fun racers i've played, but i prefer RR7 and Motorstorm. i feel that the Xbox 360 is very boring, I hate shooters! Halo is a shooter, Alan wake, seemsto be ok guess ill look into it. I mean really, i suppose they're is Blue Dragon, Lost Oddysee and Eternal Sonata(pS3 too!) but i hate the visual style, Eternal Sonata is good though. I dunno i hope the ps3 does well, coz the xbox 360 just dissapoints me. Forza 2 looks so bland, im sure its a good game, but it says nothing to me when i play Gran turismo for the first time i always got goose pimples, It was that good a racing game. Microsoft always cuts corners and using desperate tactics i suppose that is good for business but i dont admire them and i was going to give up gaming if the ps3 didn't eventually come out. I dunno, i can always expect sony to always push even if they fail, they're better than MS and Wii anyday

You've sold your 360 and purchased a PS3, that's great and I'm sure you'll enjoy the games, but please stop looking for reasons to convince yourself that you made the right decision (because that's what it sounds like to me). MS are no better or worse than Sony in this industry, and we can argue all day about the supposidly good and bad things about both companies, but who really cares? No really? It's about games, and most of these come from developers who have no loyalty to either company anyway.
So just enjoy your PS3. :)

And has it ever occurred to anyone that the sony games that went multi that used to be exclusives was never meant to be exclusives to begin with.I'll even go on to say dmc4 was also part of this. Maybe Sony doesn't need those games to beat MS maybe games like Agency and the 15 new games that are exclusives will take over.
