They'll fulfill their promise by flooding the PS3 with crappy ports from PS1 and PS2 with improved graphics, and remakes of ancient games like Pacman and Frogger.

But who is gonna buy them? It sound like a disaster waiting to happen. Why re/publish so much if most of it is just gonna get overlooked in the shuffle?

I don't think they'll uphold that release schedule anyway, atleast not with "boxed" games. You can dump whatever content you want in the online space and it will be there indefinately, but they won't let it sit forever on a store shelf.

Sony has now promised 380 games for the PS3 by March 08.

Maybe. Just maybe that'll happen. Yeah, and maybe I'm a Chinese jet pilot.

Methinks you must be crazy to lead Sony's console division.

Does this include already released titles?

Taking that into account Sony still has to come up with 360 games by March '08

$5 says it's an empty promise. If saying something like that convinces people to buy PS3s now, instead of later, it's probably more than worth whatever backlash will happen when the time comes and people actually discover that it was a lie or hope on their part, which would be the best way to spin it.

Potential.

Sweet Sweet Clarification.

Sony has promised PlayStation 3 owners that at least 145 titles are on the way to the US, which includes approximately 40 PSN titles and more than 105 boxed games.

The clarification follows Sony Computer Entertainment president Kaz Hirai's recent statement promising 380 titles within the fiscal year ending March 2008.

According to an SCEA spokesman, Hirai was citing international figures.

And we trust Sony why?

Because they brought us 4D gaming.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #2037 on:** June 21, 2007, 11:06:54 PM »

Any bets on how many are license tie ins or cheap, crappy games? I'm betting 70 tie-ins, 25 Sudoku and similar titles for the boxed ones and 40 Flash ports for the PSN ones.

Well, we are talking about Sony. I recall that they managed to make the PSP look like it had far more games than it really did by flooding out a bunch of UMD movies. So someone would walk into a store and see the DS library, and then next to it they would see the (seemingly) huge PSP library of cool looking games, but a closer inspection would reveal those were actually movies.

Sony is sneaky like that and I wouldn't put it past them to flood out a bunch of crap PS3 games just to make their library look larger than the compeition.

SixthAngel · « **Reply #2039 on:** June 22, 2007, 04:18:18 PM »

I just assumed most of the games would be ps2 games that will be available through their backwards compatibility. Even that many cheap tie in games is a lot.

I was just checking, not because that'd make it possible, but it'd be slightly less impossible.

More bad press for Sony. Sorta?

The Inquirer mentions that Kenny Kutaragi is officially completely retired from Sony.

Kairon · « **Reply #2044 on:** June 25, 2007, 08:39:45 AM »

BTW, you know all those (vapourware) games Sony promised by next March?

NONE of those games will be from SE.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #2045 on:** June 25, 2007, 09:27:06 AM »

I believe 75 of these games are Dynasty Warriors. That makes the remainder to be divided up between Tom Clancy and EA Sports.

Actually you are wrong it will be Pac Man, Pac Man Jr., Pac Man Sr., Pac Man Step-Sister, Pac Man In-Bred Bill, and more great Pac Man games.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #2047 on:** June 25, 2007, 09:36:19 AM »

But Namco doesn't have the dev capacity to handle Pac Man.

They're deep in R&D to increase boob size in Soul Calibur 4, and they're still trying to recover from the cancellation of Frame City Killer.

Better than Mario goes to Space, Mario plays soccer, Mario plays boardgames, Mario plays paper(gets beaten by scissors)...

If Pac Man In-bred Bill doesn't show up in Smash Bros, I'm selling my Wii.
