routsounmanman,

Your sig really reminds me of Gballzack's sig. You say you're from Greece?

 Yeah I'm from Greece. And I just cut the titles PS3, Wii and Xbox360 from his sig to make mine. I found those baby pictures and thought it might be funny :)

Square Enix, Konami and Midway at least. Any others?

 


 

Namco and Sega. But who cares about Sega? Namco makes Tales!

Electronic Arts?

Yeah It'll be funny to see what happens after the 360 has it's price drop and after the big games like Bioshock, Halo 3, and Mass Effect start flexing their muscle.. I wonder if there will be any PS3 games that will have even half the sales of Halo 3? LOL.. It'll probably outsell half the PS3 library coming out this Fall/X'mas.


Hard to flex muslces when the hardware youre played on is down for repairs.

Yahh that $20 of a core will really sky rocket sales, not.

It will be funny to see when big games like URT3 Ratchet&Clank Uncharted start flexing their muslce.


Fanboy alert.

 


Same could be said about you, someone cant come up with a sentance or two for rebuttal.


 Because he wasn't looking for a fight like you are.  Knock it off.

He has been around for much longer than Gballzack. Or, at least, long before Gballzack became a troll.

- Bandai/Namco
- Ubisoft
- Capcom
- Square-Enix
- Electronic Arts
- Sega
- Midway
- Konami

Are all companies who have voiced concerns over the PS3.

Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, Capcom and Bandai/Namco are four who have said they are going to put most of their development towards the Wii.

Square-Enix, Ubisoft, Bandai-Namco are three who have actively voiced the need for price drops for the PS3, in fact, Square-Enix is one who is credited for the $400 price tag of the PS3 in Japan because they threatened not to develop for the PS3 otherwise.

PS3 is really unpopular with third party developers. Good thing Sony fans seem content with their first and second party titles. I'd hate for them to be dissapointed by the games they're not getting.

Things that have changed since the last Generation of Gaming:

- Nintendo has shown us you can have the best selling console of all time with virtually no games for it.

- Graphics suddenly matter to Sony fans but Reverse Compatibility and Dual shock oddly enough don’t.

- Kiddy Crap is trendy with Hardcore gamers now that it’s no longer Nintendo’s “thing” (Viva Piñata, Little Big Planet, Banjo Kazooie 3, LBP)

- Third Party Developers are now essentially the equivalent of Video Game street pimps.

- Gimmicks are no longer fads (Wii-mote)... Well, not all Gimmicks (PS-Eye)

Slightly OT; Does anyone expect UT to sell well on the PS3?

The games core audience is on, and will remain on, the PC. Plus its not a game that lends itself well to so called casual gamers. Plus its a fast game that demands a mouse and keyboard combo, something I doubt many people will be willing to use even if that is supported.

For the record, I expect decent sales but nothing spectacular on both the PS3 and 360, but a very different story for the PC version.

Sega came forward and said the same thing, and likely every third party making games for the system feels the same way. Do you really think companies looking at the horrible third party sales on the PS3 aren't concerned?

Sega also said this.

“The Wii will start to look really dated in a couple years when developers get more value from the 360 and learn more and more about the PlayStation 3,”

Is PS3 3rd party sales are horrible then Wiis are a disaster.

 You're wrong.

  You can even use Sega as an example.

 Sonic and the secret rings and Super Monkey Ball outsold Virtua Fighter 5 and Sonic the Hedgehog for the PS3 by the hundreds of thousands.

 And production costs, mind you. Remember that there is a downside to the Blu-Ray as well; it means an extra 1-2 dollars in production for every disk, which means smaller profit margins on every game sold, even compared to the 360. 

Capcom
Konami
Sega
Square Enix
Midway
EA

All of those have expressed concern, in some fashion. EA just recently released their financial reports, and claimed that sluggish PS3 sales brought down their bottom line:

Keep in mind, however that EA does say that the PS3 hasn't reached their expectations "yet," which suggests they hope that conditions will improve.
