Nu hvor gamejam er blevet så stort er er det ganske svært at få overblik over hvilke spil som er vær at bruge tid at kigge på. Er der nogen der har nogle gode bud på hvad der er must plays?

Hirai also addressed the complex architecture of the PS3, which developers have openly struggled to get to grips with.

"We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so then the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine-and-a-half years?" explained Hirai.

asbjoern.com: Helt enig. Dog har de jo tilføjet muligheden for at rate spillene. Men et spil med 1 stemme på 5 stjerner (muligvis fra en fra holdet) er jo ikke nødvendigvis godt :)
Jeg så gerne at man kunne sortere efter awards, og f.eks. få en liste over alle spil der havde vundet jury's award. Man skal så også være opmærksom på at mange af spillene f.eks. kræver Xbox controllers for at kunne spilles.

Ja, det er en uheldig statement at komme med.

Især når en developer skal afveje risk/cost vs. potentiel indtjening/userbase, når man skal finde ud af hvilken platform man skal supporte.

Det er pænt vanvittigt sagt... Især når man har en branche der skriger om at det er monster dyrt at udvikle til denne generation af konsoller. Så handler det om at gå den anden vej og gøre det nemmere og billigere at producere sine spil.

Så i øvrigt de amerikanske NPD salgstal for januar hvor der blev solgt færre PS3'er end januar sidste år. Det er sq lidt for tidligt at kurven knækker.

Ja, de salgstal så jeg også. Det er ikke rart at være Sony lige nu, men de har dælme heller ikke gjort det nemt for dem selv. En alenlang liste af "Missed Opportunities".
