Sony Tries Its Hand at Changing What's in Yours
When the Wii was announced and the concept of its controller was revealed to the world, many a gamer said that it was a gimmick. I thought it was a gimmick. Maybe you did as well. Once the Wii was released, the console began selling like wildfire. Much of its success was attributed to that crazy Wii-mote that was able to strike a cord with the "casual gamer." Apparently Sony has gotten the message.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
Wow! I'm surprised Sev didn't post this himself! He's usally all over his own articles.
maybe this thread will be similar to this one..

Both companies "would" be doing the same thing really...let's see how this plays out.
...about 3 dozen people who'd get a 360 or PS3 right away if they had some Wii-like games with a Wii-like controller. Could you imagine how BEAUTIFUL the games would look? I can and I for one would welcome this peripheral if it does nothing but give my wife a reason to play a game with me as well as keep me from having to buy her a Wii.
My home is a Wii-free zone!
My home is wii free as well my friend. I, for one, would like to see this controller. You know how all the games on the Wii look a little cheesy??? You know the wii sports bowling where some of the characters don't even have legs? It's basically lego bowling. Well imagine a bowling game on a BD disk, PSN capable in full HD? I'm kind of excited.
Well if Ps3 really does come out with Wii style controllers.. They may not be the first but I think they might be the best.. Ps3 has one edge over 360 and Wii.. 360 and Wii can only support 4 players.. Ps3 with its bluetooth, can support up to 7 peeps and maybe more with a firmware update..
So motion controller 7 friends and a party style game.. Ps3 could smash the competition..
They would just have to market it well.. Push the 7 peeps and Blu ray
