But that's the big question, gitanil. Will it recover the cost? The install base on the PS3 is only 4 million strong, making up the development costs by tweaking the game code to work with the PS3 (it's more than a traditional port job) requires a large percentage of the install base to jump on. Developers are nervous (and rightly so) about taking the risk on a system that is selling hardware poorly, and software even worse.

Yeah true I guess.How much does a low/middle tier game need to sell to achieve profit on PS3? I'm guessing about 100k to 200k which might have been tough to do on the PS3.

Another day another PS3 game delay announcement (actually 2 games this time) :(

Up first is Juiced 2: How Import Nights, it's being delayed until October from it's original September release, the 360, PS2, and DS versions are still on schedule.  I doubt it's really at the top of anyone's most wanted list and a month delay probably would have gone unnoticed anyways.

Next up is Stuntman: Ignition which is due August 31st for the 360 and PS2 and was originally delayed until November for the PS3, but now it no longer appears on the list at all as cancellation rumors surround it's release for the PS3.


Actually, you might be right about these.   In the gamesindustry.biz release dates, which showed that Lair was being moved to Sept before anybody else and has a lot of information for industry types, says that these have been delayed.  I don't see Juiced in Oct or Stuntman either right now.

will COD4 be released the same day on X360 & PS3? i've heard rumors on an italian forum of possible delay for the Ps3 version (even post christmas)...just rumors or is it a possibility?



2008 year end sales (made in January 2008):

Too many rumours ,FUD and bullshit around the PS3 .Stuntman was already announced the 3 weeks delay ,Stranglehold isnt delayed ,Juiced 2 is arriving some weeks after the 350 version .....

As for the ones willing to bet it will follow the Dreamcast way I would remember them the PS3 will have sold first year about the lifetime total of the DC and with its games not being (not even in the foreseeable future ) pirated ,plus it doesnt have a obsolete format as the GdRom but the most advanced as the BR .....well lets say their wishful thinking is funny but flawed .

Have you looked at the Japanese charts? The PS3 and DC sales are almost equal. With the DC speeding up at this point in its lifetime.



PS3: 5.51m/51w, avg 108,039/w (up 239)
360: 12.93m/102w, avg 126,764/w (up 625), leads PS3 by 7.42m (up 70k), avg lead 18,725/w (up 386)
Wii: 13.52m/51w, avg 265,098/w (dn 1,102), leads PS3 by 8.01m (up 90k), avg lead 157,059/w (dn 1,341)

If 360 sales stabilize, PS3 sales increases needed to pass 360 by...
01/08: (008w) +875.8%, 04/08: (021w) +344.4%, 07/08: (034w) +219.3%, 10/08: (047w) +163.5%

If Wii sales stabilize, PS3 sales increases needed to pass Wii by...
01/08: (008w) +1072.%, 04/08: (021w) +498.4%, 07/08: (034w) +363.4%, 10/08: (047w) +303.1%
01/09: (060w) +269.0%, 04/09: (073w) +246.9%, 07/09: (085w) +232.6%, 10/09: (099w) +220.3%
If PS2 sales freeze, Wii sales increases needed to pass PS2 (as of Mar07, 108.4m) by...
2008: (008w) +4373.8%, 2009: (060w) +0496.5%, 2010: (112w) +0219.6%, 2011: (165w) +0116.9%
2012: (217w) +0064.9%, 2013: (269w) +0033.1%, 2014: (321w) +0011.5%, 2015: (376w) -0004.8%
At +0% it will pass it in 358w, the week ending September 19th, 2014, at an age of 409w (7y44w).
Current age of PS2: 7y37w.

Last update: Week ending November 3, 2007

about your comment on the pirated situation, you want to bet on that??? like 90% of the games out there dont even use all the space of a dvd9 disk, yes that include PS3 title.  BR or not, its the same situation like the GdRom from its lifetime, When there is a modchip and a BR reader is released. I garanteed you'll see PS3 pirated title fit on a DVD9 disk.  I hope you realize developer put some dummy files to fill up that BR disk, ripper will surely know how to cut out those useless dummy files to make it fit on dvd9.

Edited: GdRom was supposed to be hacker proof because CDRs was only able to burn 700mb, and you know what happened next, every pirated DC game being released fits on a CDR disk.
