Opinion: Publishers abandoning PS3, Sony needs to act fast

Silicon Alley Insider has an editorial which states that things have gone from bad to worse for Sony as publishers are now abandoning the system. While they are sensationalizing their headlines and beliefs, Behtesda apparently did state this weekend that they will only be making DLC available for Xbox 360 and PC owners.

Quote:

Even better, once players finish the game's core storyline, fans can download even more "post-game" content from Bethesda to extend the experience.

But not if they have a PS3.

Bethesda said this weekend they're only making new post-game content available to Xbox 360 and PC owners.

We don't know if Bethesda is in the middle of a spat with Sony (SNE), or if the company just realized it sells so many more copies for the X360 that the effort of PS3 development isn't worth it.

But this couldn't be worse news for Sony: The company pitches the PS3 as the premium device, but Microsoft's (MSFT) cheaper Xbox will deliver a far-superior experience of 2008's best game.

Flagging PS3 sales are one thing -- but game publishers abandoning the platform is something altogether more serious. Sony needs to turn the situation around for the PS3 fast.

Update on article -

UPDATE: A Sony spokesperson contacted SAI about this story, and pointed out some upcoming titles like Electronic Arts' (ERTS) "Red Alert 3" will have content exclusive to the PS3. Fair enough.

So devs are abandoning PS3 because 360 got Fallout 3 DLC?...............

Sorry if posted already.
