Why can't they just release it for both?

*dramatic pause*

Is it really so difficult to develop for the PS3 that they can't even make a frickin' Katamari game for it?

*rimshot*

HAHAHAHAhahahahaaa... ...I kill me! ...ha ha... ...ha... er, *ahem* ...never mind. That wasn't funny at all. Sorry, I guess I'm still in Nintendo Fanboy™ mode after that "no lightsaber game" story. Seriously, though, this sucks pretty hard for Sony. Really, why can't they release it for both? *shrugs*

Anyway, to all the people bashing Jim for posting bad news about Sony all the time... well, it's kind of hard to post good news about Sony when, you know, there isn't all that much of it to post. And for those still comparing Jim to Summa, this is totally different. Whereas Jim only posts bad news about Sony because that's pretty much all there is lately, when there is good Sony news every once in a while, he posts that too. Summa, on the other hand, had the awe-inspiring ability to make even bad Sony news seem like good news (and, more egregiously, the ability to make good Wii news seem like bad news). Also, I don't think I've ever seen Jim make a snarky, snide pot-shot of a comment at Sony fanboys in the same manner that Summa always, ALWAYS baited those of Nintendo. For what it's worth, I made the same mistake of comparing Jim to Summa at first, too, but I've long since seen the error of my ways.

If anything, I think it's more an issue of the void that was left with Summa's departure not having been filled yet, so people are trying their best to mold someone into that void simply to return things to some kind of shitty status quo. In this case, the victim of this seems to be Jim. Personally, I hope that void is never filled, because we can do without that sort of shit.

I personally caught that the 3y warranty only covered the RROD... But that's just me.

I have long said that I think all this losing exclusives is pure BS - as well as lost multi-platform games. Now, before I am to continue - let it be known that I am no fanboy. If I buy a game that's exclusive, then it's exclusive. If I buy a game that's multi-platform, I buy it for the best offered version. Thus is why I only own two games for the PS3 at this current moment.

I see these issues as a double-side. For one, it's always the argument from development that there are too many problems programming for the PS3. Is the problem a PS3 caused issue, or a developer caused issue? It is in their own choice whether or not they want to step up and take that challenge to overcome the obstacles of learning to program for it. But lately, developers have been really dropping the ball on effort. Instead they just go with the easiest route possible, damn the attempts at harnessing a greater processing power - despite what that might mean for a game. Now, i'm not saying that properly coded games for the PS3 are going to look God Almighty greater than the 360. But how will we, the consumers, ever know if Developers are unwilling to show us the possibility...

The only thing we PS3 owners have to look forward to, that has the slightest chance of sparking developers into action, are their first party games and their ties remaining on definite exclusives.

So here's looking to the future. May it not be reduced to generic repetative gaming due to lazy development.

Additional note since it sounds so much like I am saying the PS3 is the future. Makin me sound like some kind of lame ass Sony PR monkey...

I currently see the PS3 as the only option for the future. The 360 is a great console, as is the Wii. But graphically and from a technical standpoint as spoken about - the Wii is running a different race. A race that the PS3 and 360 are battling with... I honestly asked myself this and I still don't know the real answer - when MS releases its new console here in only a few years now - given the projected timeframe for the 360's lifespan... How will they deal the processing? Do we honestly expect that MS will simply slap 5-8 General Processing Cores in a box with a giant fan and an old DVD player? I sure as hell hope this is not the case, and I personally can see MS eventually, with their next console, taking the plunge into the winner of the High Definition Disc Format, and most likely attempting to utilize and strike a deal to gain the cell processors power... I honestly don't feel that a console the size of a small PC is the "future" of gaming.

@ Burkhart:

I love how I made a comment above yours making fun of the retarded "Sterling is biased against Sony" claim, and you go right ahead and say pretty much the exact same thing.

@ SuMizzle:

In regards to favoritism, you guys report on the 3yr warranty, but fail to mention it only covers the RROD. Had it been Sony that extended their warranty to only cover a specific error, that had been occurring since the system's launch, lords knows how it would have been reported. Again, that may be why you catch the misguided shit from commenters. Who knows.

Maybe you should read the article again.

Wow ... you really hate Microsoft. What'd they do, kill your dog?

I don't know, Jim. I am personally rather confused as to whether or not he's a Sony fanboy, an Xbox Hater, or a Sony Hater!

Wait wait. He must be a Nintendo Fanboy *nod* It's the only option! Sonyhater in the name, microsoft hater in the message! Rather villainous.

A hater who hates all but Nintendo. We see. Yes, we can see how this can happen... Fearsome... With a Royal Puff, we finish this message.

" seem to remember when the wii was first released, and the creator of katamari dismissed the wii as a gimmick and declared he would never bring katamari to the system. over 3 to 1 wii to ps3 system sales later, he comes crawling back. "

Um... not really... he left the project after "We love Katamari" stating that Namco would probably release more sequels without his involvement... the first of those was "Me & my Katamari" on PSP and now the same guy who oversaw that game is working on "Beautiful Katamari"

Console Wars are awesome!

...

...wait, no they're not.

I'm late, as always. Whatever.
