It wasn't in development when the game came out for the 360, so it's been decided once it came out for the 360 that they would make a PS3 version. Yes porting the game would cost money, but the majority of the development costs were for the 360 version and seeing as it sold nearly 2m copies, I reckon they'd have made their money back and then some. I can afford this game if it comes out at full price, but I along with a fair few other next gen console owners are very picky on what games I pick up and cost is an factor in that as well. Yes I would love to be able to get LittleBigPlanet, Force Unleashed, Resistance 2, Motorstorm Pacific Rift and Bioshock in the next few months, but I have to be picky as all these games would cost me around £200 (yes nearly $400) and I just cannot justify spending this amount of cash on games. But if a game like Bioshock was released at a budget price, and I mean a truly budget price (looking at the reasoning above), then I would probably get it as it would be a no-brainer. But because of the cost of Next Gen games, I will probably only get Motorstorm Pacific Rift and Resistance 2. Also, no matter how good Bioshock is for the PS3, I highly doubt it will sell much more than 500k lifetime. |
Which precisely why the game won't be sold at a budget price. As it has been pointed out earlier, the game is available for a lower pice on PC and the 360. If a consumer hasn't netted one of those versions by now then the PS3 version is their only option, that fact makes a standard price more likely.
