| Machina-AX said: It's pretty much level with the 360 at the same stage in its life, yet the 360 has received strong 3rd party support. Why is it different for the PS3? |
The concern is the 360 didn't have the Wii and er... the 360 around selling 3rd party titles much better. No 3rd party game has even been able to come close to 500,000 units sold on the PS3. That's really scary. If the PS3 can't push any 3rd party titles at all, why would they keep developing games for it?
Killzone3 mentioned up there that the PS3 being bad for 3rd parties made the Wii a disaster, but 3rd party software sales are 3-4 times higher on the Wii. Developers SHOULD be worried about the PS3. It's nearing 4 million consoles sold and they haven't even had their best games break 500,000 units. If I was in charge of these 3rd parties you can bet all my remaining development effort for the generation would be on the 360 and the Wii.
