Hirai: Sony Could Pay to Secure PS3 Exclusives

SCE president Kaz Hirai says that Sony may consider the possibility of shelling out to secure exclusive third party releases for PlayStation 3, while the company will be pushing for exclusive content on PS3 versions of multiplatform titles.

During an interview with with semi-official PlayStation blog threespeech Hirai was asked if he would consider reversing ex-worldwide studios boss Phil Harrison’s policy of not paying for exclusives. He told the site that it was an option, but also acknowledged that it was usually more financially viable for publishers to release their games on multiple platforms.

“That’s something that we can re-evaluate,” he said, “but it’s also something that the publishers need to make a business decision on. Ultimately, it becomes a dialogue – if it makes sense for them to go exclusive, that’s a business decision that they need to make. But generally speaking, because of the investments that publishers need to make in this round of hardware, it’s going to be more difficult for publishers to make that decision.”

What’s more likely, Hirai said, is that developers will leverage the capacity of the Blu-ray format to create exclusive PS3 content for multiplatform games.

“Where we come into the picture is to have that dialogue with the third party publishers, to say: ‘OK, what can we do together if it’s not exclusive that makes the PS3 version of the game more compelling for the consumers than any other version?’

“Let’s face it – all the games are coming out on a Blu-ray disk which has 50Gb capacity, so let’s put in some making-of content, or maybe additional levels. Also, it really becomes important for the first party studios to really come up with some envelope-pushing, genre-defining content.”

为独占付出 是 合情合理的

自己赛钱骂别人塞钱不对， 是强盗逻辑，

骂了别人塞钱不对，又说自己塞钱， 是表子行为

早该想通了。
除了坚持搭载蓝光这个损失惨重也战绩辉煌的决策以外，索尼确实在p3开始的阶段昏招频出，放不正位置，不知道在干嘛。

看看其他两家，挖墙脚奏效，自我中心战略大获成功，索尼这样第一方没有足够积累的还臭牛逼什么啊。
经济状态好些了，赶紧的吧，日商国际上混不开，在日本还是不愿放弃p3这条已经有点破的船的。

我是觉着，现在的平井依然在帮久多还债呢，说不定到大战末期这债也未必能还清，从各个方面来说。
最后很可能就是PlayStation这个品牌会成为Walkman第二。

说得没错，至少这一代就一直在还债中了。

幸亏现状比去年上半年的走势要好些，不至于沦落为xb。
平井务实，ps4应该不会再绕这么大的弯路了。

很奇怪：

现在的世道是RF喜欢发S\N新闻，SF喜欢发R\N新闻。而且每每发新闻都必须加一些有血有肉的主观情感，尽其所能的黑化对方。

——一个扭曲负面的世道
