E3 got me thinking, have we seen a shift in priorities from Sony in terms of the RPG market?
With losing FF XIII, and all the new MMORPGs, I think Sony realized from Blizzard that their is a lot of money to make in the MMORPG market, from Casual gamers and hardcore gamers alike.
If you look at the Agency and The DC game, those are both games that appeal to the masses. Casuals love Bond, and they love Super hero, DC comic book characters. And since MMORPGS on consoles have not really been the focus of any console manufacturer (the only really one was FF XI, which is very hardcore), they probably thought this was a good opportunity for them to start doing so.
Or could it simply be the reason they let FF XIII go is because they need the money to get games going now to build momentum, and with FF XIII not coming out till 2010, could it being exclusive be irrelevant at that point?
Will it pay off? Only time will tell.
