I am tired of trying to understand the motivations of Konami. They talk about bringing the game to other platforms. Reaffirm their commitment to PS3 exclusivity. Then they delay the game twice doing harm to the brand. I swear this company has to be bipolar. They are high on the platform one minute, and throwing fits about how awful it is the next.
These kind of things hurt Sony. They hurt consumer confidence. They hurt the products image. They hurt the games sales. They make people who might have bought the console for the game hang back. Thinking this game is going to be ported so why not buy the other machine, or wait till they find out for sure. The only rational explanation is that Konami does not care one way or the other. That they fully intend to port the game to the 360 for the holiday season, and they only have modest expectations of the PS3 version.
I will take a wild guess that the delay is mostly in response to staff reallocation. They are moving staff from the PS3 game to work on the 360 version so they can have it ready for next holiday season. I just do not believe they are scared by the lineup on the PS3 during the first quarter, and I do not believe they are waiting for the install base to increase. That will not happen if developers hang back or give mixed signals.
Anyone else think that Konami maybe just maybe is punking Sony.
