"by all accounts, the ps3 is a failure". LOL
isn't the main reason why sony is in trouble is because of tv+tech? Not gaming?

What big vita game would that be, guess it has to be western.
Although it was my first time seeing footage of the new god of war (looked good but I dont think fans were that angry...), to say they are glad in multiplayer games then seem to indicate psn isnt addicting enough to keep playing multiplayer games on is odd. It is too late to be trying to find ways to get people on psn over their xbox 360's now.

Why not?
The Last of Us and God of War: Ascension should be out in the first half of the year, and the other two aren't really notable sellers.

part 2 sony works now
I'm guessing it's a GTA game, but a Vita version of Skyrim (possibly with DLC included and some Vita-specific additions, like using the touchscreen etc) would seriously make me run out and buy a Vita, even if it's a technical downgrade compared to the console versions.

According to Wikipedia, Rockstar announced that they were working on an exclusive PS3 titles in July 2007. That game was later revealed to be Agent in 2009. So they may have been "working" on it since 2006-2007.
Relative to the PS1 and the PS2, the PS3 is a disaster.
They wen't from essentially owning the market to just scraping into second place (and losing a lot of money in the process)

Andrew House will replace him at E3 most probably. But for the PS4 reveal, he may be there.

Well, going from 80% marketshare to 20% marketshare and losing 6 billion United States dollars in the process is generally what I would call a failure.

post comeback with the slim, i cant agree. but I think they recovered well. something sliding into 2nd isn't what I'd class a disaster.
a hiccup perhaps.
Come on. A hiccup?

On a side note, will Bonus Round stuff be 20min a week from now on? I recall them to be about 10-15 a 'part' before.

House or Yoshida. I'd like to see Yoshida do the whole conference, actually. No offense to Tretton, but Yoshida is much more cool and calm on stage.

Definitely House. He´s the president of SCE.

The quote was in the context of a discussion about Sony's timetable for revealing first-party titles, though. But it was a bit ambiguous, so it's possible he's referring to a third-party title.

The $6 billion loss was the gaming division's loss which was 100% on the PS3.

I don't think Pachter would have brought up Agent like that on the bonus round if it really was covered in his E3 NDA meeting with Sony. I think he's just jokin about it.

PS3 has lost sony around 5-6 billion dollars but it's impossible to tell how much exactly due to PS2 and PSP profits masking the massive PS3 losses. And even with the PS2 and PSP profits the game unit is billions and billions in the hole in the PS3 era.

I dunno, I find Tretton hilarious. He handled the PSN hack situation well by taking a light-hearted dig at journos last year. Since it's SCEA, its going to be Tretton and House.

Yes,it could be an awesome game on a portable system. Especially considering PS Vita is more than capable of pushing out something clearly superior to Morrowind on Xbox (and not only draw distance wise which would be an obvious improvement to add), which is a very nice landmark for an open world RPG on a portable system. In fact, I would really like for TES to go back to Morrowind with a PS Vita entry. It would generate quite a lot of buzz too since Morrowind is a game many fans still remember very dearly.

If Agent is ever coming we know it's not exclusive anymore.
Maybe the guy was actually Andy House. We'll never know.
It's worse than 6 billion since Sony actually made some money from PS2 and PSP.
We do not know that. Tretton has dodged the question.
We can safely assume that Rockstar bought out of that contract that was announced in 2007, but you don't know.

I like how they were talking about the new Sly Cooper and how no other publishers would touch a game with more cartoon-style graphics with their example being Microsoft. But I am used to discussions being about Sony vs. Microsoft with Nintendo being left out.
nope
if your talking about this year report.
it was due to tv business, floods psn hacks and
PS4 r&d

I wouldn't personally agree with it, but I can see where Geoff is coming from.
With a few exceptions, Nintendo's core output this past gen has been limited to a handful of well-established, preexisting IP (Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Kirby, DK). If you're not a big fan of those franchises, which I don't think Geoff is, you're not likely to think nearly as highly of Nintendo's first-party development as a whole. I hope that we see this start to change on Wii U.

It goes without saying.
Good episode! I know he chats some shit sometimes but I dunno how anyone can hate on Pachter, he always seems like a stand-up bloke. Can't wait for next episode.
That's a great argument but I'm inclined to disagree. Sony's studios are very flexible and aren't afraid to collaborate. That makes the Sony first party stable the best in the industry in my opinion.

Pachter thinks agent will be out this year?
What about the handhelds, Xenoblade?

In quality and diversity it's Sony hands down but in sales Nintendo first party games dominate.

I think Sony still has some exclusive from R* Agent or something else.

"with a few exceptions"
The exceptions wouldn't be quite so few if NOA weren't so awful, but that's the reality here.
The entirety of Nintendo's DS first party lineup does not constitute 'a few exceptions'.
Yeah..that's always an adorable claim.. *snicker*
When Sony can turn-around a flailing handheld with the power of their first-party titles and a price drop, then I'll entertain that notion.

I'm sure he was joking about holiday 2012, the point Jim's dad was trying to make was that when Agent does pop up again (if it does?) then its release won't be too far off.
No. He does not think that. He was obviously making a joke.
All the laughing by him and everyone around him should have tipped you off.
