| Arius Dion said: Let's be real, before this generation started, PS3 was the pressumed market leader. Which is understandable, PS2 was a great success, so why wouldn't PS3 be expected to follow in those footsteps? Massive amounts of money and resources were invested into the PS3 before the system even launched. Once out the gate, PS3 did not catch fire right away, and most expected the slow start would eventually boom with the release of much anticipated titles. This did not happen. Phrases such as "Sony on a ten year plan" "Quality vs quantity" (reminiscent of the N64 days and Howard Lincoln) "Year of the PS3" kept being shouted by the likes of Kaz and company and echoed in the forums by devote fans. Now most recently, Activision CEO has "threatened" Sony with dropping support if Sony doesn't drop price. I feel this is an empty threat. I also feel this is a cry of frustration because the PS3 hasn't taken off like many expected it to. Activision is entangled with the PS3, whether they like it or not. Sony is not going to drop the price because some third party CEO is frustrated. Sony may not drop the price this year period. I think they are going to wait on how PSP Go sells before looking to drop the price. We'll see what happens. I wonder if other CEO's from other companies will begin attempting to put pressure on Sony. |
That CEO is the CEO of the biggest 3rd party publisher of video games. They also control many very big franchises like Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, and Tony Hawk. You can't just write of Activision like they are some no name developer.
