The PS3 hasnt had any price drop since it was launched in Japan .It was launched at a lower price that announced in E3 2006 ,for sure ,but that isnt a price drop while in the stores .
Second ,I am not joking about developer power .Right now Sony has nearly 100 developer teams worlwide ,let alone all those engineers doing the firmware updates ,those others helping for example Epic with the optimization of the Unreal engine ,plus all the others charged of the online section such as the PSN and developing Home .
Nintendo has barely any of this .I would be hard pressed to name more than 4-5 second parties of Nintendo .Most of their work seems to be done by Miyamoto with the help of some internal developers here and there.Even long time second parties as Camelot and Rare arent related to Nintendo anymore ,and Silicon Knights and Factor 5 have changed their work to MS and Sony respectively .
What are exactly Nintendo developing righ now ?Well we know Miyamoto is working in Mario Galaxy ,the occidental second party they have charged for Metroid is developing Metroid Corruption ,then they are doing Wii Fit where Miyamoto will be involved ,Mario Kart with some internal developer under Miyamoto supervision ....they didnt announce nearly anything for the DS in E3 ,then they are doing baby steps in their online system and channels at a pace that if it was sony we would say is desperating slow ...and thats about it.Most of the product they have released is only ports from the Cube transferred to the Wii and DS conversions .I forgot Mario Smash Bros ...ok .That gives some 5 games in development right now ,4 of them under direct control of Miyamoty .Where is that much touted talent and developing capability of Nintendo ?Aside Miyamoto they dont seem to be anything .
On the other hand , Sony is right now developing at the same time the Home system ,the PSN ,the firmware updates ,helping Epic with engineers ,and then developing games as Ratchet and Clank ,Heavenly Sword ,Uncharted ,Wipeout HD ,Gran Turismo 5 ,Infamous ,Pain ,Hot Shots Golf 5 ,Folklore (just released ) ,Lair ,Killzone 2 ,Afrika ,8 Days ,Getaway ,SOCOM COnfrontation ,Warhawk ,God of War 3 ,The Agency, Jak and Daxter Lost Frontier, Loco Roco for PS3 ,Little Big Planet ,Eco Chrome ....whatever Team Ico is developing ....plus all the games for the PSP
Nintendo has a developing genius as Miyamoto ,but aside him they just dont have a ton of developing muscle ,let alone talent .Sony ,like it or not ,right now has as first or second party people like Guerrilla ,Incognito ,Insomniac ,Team Ico ,Sony Online ,Evolution ,Game Republic ,Factor 5 ,Clap Hand ,Zipper ,Media Molecule ,Quantic Dreams ,London Studio ,Studio Liverpool ,Sucker Punch ,Ready at Dawn ,Santa Monica Studio (with David Jaffe ) ,Naughty Dog ,Polyphony ...etc etc they just have ton more man-power and talent in there with a stellar first and second party lineup of developers .
