| Zero Hero said: Misterd, I agree. It's risky. But so is any game no matter what the game or budget. The risk is more magnified as a 3rd party. Sony has like 15 in house studios including ND. That money was there to further the install base of the PS3. Sony has put more money on its 1st party software than MS and Nintendo combined. So far, only 1 major bomb. It's a telling thing that the games division has turned a profit this early in the consoles launch. I know it wasn't all the PS3...... just the brand name in general. |
True enough, but I was looking at it more from a 3rd party perspective (something I failed to make clear) as they are the ones who have decided the winner in almost every generation. I know if I were a small-medium sized publisher (ie not EA or Actiblizzard) the combination of development costs and user base would make me very wary of the PS3.
