For some reason Sony just keeps shooting itself in the foot and refusing to catch on.
Starting back with Sony's first major marketing mistake of this generation, the home of Playstation decided to create a fake marketing campaign called 'all i want for xmas is a psp' which resulted in a huge backlash from gamers. Some still argue that the PSP hasn't recovered from the viral stigma slapped on it from this horrible holiday campaign."
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.
Sony have the best first party games,most powerful console,reliabilty,best equipped for the future,most first party developers everything is in place...I believe marketing its strengths is what's needed because if microsoft could boast all of the above we would see commercials saying 'only our console is pushing gaming graphically,only our console has bluray,and our online is free'
Sony need to get aggressive,and get consoles instore
this article fails miserably, forget about metal gear solid getting game of the decade on vgcharts? guy above me got it right, i can go on and on, but before i do, ill play beyond.
while these so called "journalists" and blogs,game sites ec t ect.. dwell on the past of sonys mistakes.. sony themselves are looking into the future and where to keep on improving and giving gamers what they want the most.. LAG FREE online gaming for no price and exclusives that not only push and raise the bar graphically and gameplay wise,but give us ps3 gamers new IP's to get our feet wet into.
something other competition try's but has not succeded very well..
every company makes/made mistakes.. the point is to LEARN from them and only improve on them were needed.
its all about us gamers in the end and no one has done it better then sony since the ps1 days :)
no no it's dumb @ss sites like you'res who's holding sony back
This article praises the hardware and games of Sony, but the fanboys didn't get past the idea that there may be fault with their god-like company. I guess fanboys can't read.
