The
numbers don't lie, Sony's juggernaut Playstation 3 is over 6 million
units behind the Xbox 360. The price of the console is twice as much as
the 360. So if Sony cannot cut the price, what is there for them to do to save the console?
The could make a deal with the devil. Nintendo, yes you heard
me right the Big N Sony's #1 rival for over a decade but things have changed recently, the path Nintendo has gone down has geared them
towards casual gamers, little kids and grandmas. If that's the route
Nintendo wants to take then the chances are they will not make hardcore
games from the Star Fox, F-Zero or Legend of Zelda series. Those great
franchises are going to waste if Nintendo won't use them.
Well
imagine this, Sony gives of the license for Little Big Planet to
Nintendo for them to make a LBP Wii and in exchange Nintendo gives the
rights of the Zelda or F-Zero series to SCEA. Just imagine how epic
Zelda would be if it was made by the creators of Shadow of the Colossus
or God of War. The game could have amazing graphics, hours apon hours
of side quests and even online via Playstation Network. All the
hardcore fans Nintendo has ditched have all moved to a new system. Now
what better way to get them to choose PS3 over Xbox 360 than a title
from there most beloved franchise. Zelda is a very valuable franchise
so Nintendo might not give it up even for rights to a LBP game. So if
the deal was LBP for F-Zero, now F-Zero could be taken far on the PS3's
hardware. They could rethink the series and turn it into a free-roam
racer like Burnout Paradise. Miles apon miles of futuristic racing
would be one epic game.
But on the downside, one of PS3's
killer app games would have a title on the Wii so it might drive some
people off from buying the PS3 if LBP is available on the Wii.
Could this be Sony's saving grace or would it hurt them more than it would help?

While nothing has been confirmed, the evidence that Marvel Rivals is coming to consoles is mounting as the game's files mention crossplay.
Nintendo may be working on a brand new Legend of Zelda game featuring Zelda as the main character, based on a new rumor.
It works
The cycle of hatred can't always be exactly the same
Maybe in one reincarnation the Hyrule family name their son Link in honour of Hylia's chosen hero and some village woman name their daughter Zelda in honour of Princess Zelda from the old tales of the lands past.
This rumor, or variants of it, appears pretty much every time there is a gap with a non-announced Zelda game in the works. So I would take it with a grain of salt."
That said, I have always wanted a game where you play as her. Not exactly a "Zelda game", mind you, I always see her making more sense in something like a city builder/management or strategy game.
There's a rumor that another Zelda Musou game in the works. I'd sooner believe that one over this.
A character select screen would work just fine. If RPG developers, with far more complex gameplay everything, have been able to do this, why is Nintendo still dragging their feet?
This ain't Baldur's Gate nor Morrowind, so lets get to it already.
Here is a look at the Closed Alpha for the game in action.
Keep in mind that regardless of your stance or interest in this, be it good or bad; the ToS agreement makes it so you can't leave negative reviews once accepted.
Interesting concept.I would love to play Zelda on my PS3.
Tho i don't expect it to ever happen.
Although I fail to see how Sony is failing, in effect they have sold more consoles per year than MS it's only lately with the onset of the recession that sales have begun to lag more and more heavily. The only 2 ways to counter this is to continue with the great support in terms of games, apps and improved online service and heavily market their product. Solution number 2 which could be done in conjunction with nr. 1 is to of course drop the price.
It would of course help Sony to get even more titles in to an already amazing repetoir, however I doubt a deal with Nintendo would sit well with either company.
All I neeeded to read was this, "Sony's juggernaut Playstation 3 is over 6 million units behind the Xbox 360. The price of the console is twice as much as the 360." I'll add one thing, the Xbox360 came out a year before the PS3.
And there you have it. I wonder what people would be saying if the PS3 and 360 were tied in units sold, would they actually call it a tie? I wouldn't, I don't see how the year head start is not a valid argument.
Anyway, I don't think this would help Sony, and even if it could, I don't see this happening.
perhaps all that could happen. I seriously doubt nintendo has no plans for any of those franchises and the last time they licensed out their franchises for a non nintendo system they got the piles of crap for the cd-i. I think nintendo is going to leave them to rot. I think sony has a better chance bunking with Microsoft. They are a relative newcomer to the console market and may not know better.
lol i can understand MS and Nintendo becasue MS got games on the DS but Sony lol keep dreaming ps3fanboys.Dream beyond
