They removed BC before an emulator was ready. That's a fact. And the only fact we have to go on. 

Emulation may not be possible because the memory embedded in the GS chip is faster than any of the memory currently in the PS3.

There's a bunch of stuff Sony could do to help the PS3, like buying exclusives, another price drop, releasing a slim model etc. Sony could do that stuff without much trouble, seeing as how they're such a big company and everything.

The thing is, I don't think they want to. Sony is a very big corporation, and the gaming division is responsible to someone higher up. It would seem that someone has made it clear to Kaz and his crew that losing even more money is not an option, and making the console profitable is more important than widening the userbase.

Does that mean they're giving up? I would say no, they're just coming back to reality where consoles have to make money, and running a business like the PS3 so far is simply unacceptable.

This is why Sony's recent forecast is "only" 10 million, and why we won't be seeing a price cut anytime soon. Hopefully first party games like God of War 3 and whatever Team ICO is working on won't be affected.

@bdbdbd Sure some companies as a whole aren't doing so hot, but how many have gone bankrupt this gen? Any? Fact is, companies are losing money in some area's and gaining it just fine in others, and there is NO question that there are more game devs this generation than seemingly ever before, the projects are just infinitely more complicated and the budgets are bigger than ever. For every large scale flop that attempts to put the industry in a coma, there seems to be a COD4, Assassins creed, and GTA waiting to shock the shit out of it lol. I'd say were doing fine so far :P

And if the PS4 DOES use the Cell tech, it may not be the easiest to develop for, but it could very well be the cheapest, you wouldn't have to re-build engines from the ground up, merely expand upon them, and that would be fantastic for game development.

Sony Domination is a LIE! I repeat. Sony Domination is a LIE!!!

:P

Digital downloads is already a huge part of the present as movie priacy is astounding. The only to convince people to stop pirating is to drop the price of movies. Considering Blu-Ray are about 30$ each, piracy will continue to thrive which will, in time, effect the movie industry as much as it did with the music industry. At that moment, their only way to win is to make people download movies legally.

@FishyJoe

that same removal of Bc resulted in a 300% increase in AN sales & VERY Strong EU sales..so stuff japan in that case

Jeez its like the WII HATE WEEK now on PS3!!

Oh and everyone here knows SONY made that prediction after getting torn to shreds for their high prediction last year

its their way of saying Ps3 beat our forecast this year so STUF!

The PS3 in terms of games is becoming the N64. Major delays on games, sparce decent exclusives. It is selling on name at the minute, but how on earth those with only a PS3 this gen wait for the exclusives I'll never know. I have decided to get one on the cheap in 2 years time, because I would only have bought 2 games this year. MGS4 and LBP. I had KZ1 and was sorely dissapointed. And after Haze review, I expect KZ2 to get no more than 80's. Especially on Gameplay footage. It looks slow and to straight forward.
