But it is a failed dev. It would be like SEGA bashing Nintendo for milking Mario platformers.

Acclaim has always been cheap and generic imo but hearing things like this from any game developer is a bit troubling.

And because they did, they know loss when they see it.

Or that they don't know what they're saying. :|

Hmm financial advice from a developer that hasn't made a decent game in a long long time.

Namco Bandai > Acclaim and they make nothing.

Acclaim boss David Perry

"Because of the cost of making the PlayStation 3 and because they sold it at a loss, Sony basically has pretty much no chance of making money on the PS3, because it's lost more money than they made during the entire peak of the PlayStation 2 - it's not going to happen again for Sony," said Perry during his GCDC keynote speech yesterday.

*shrug*

Even if Acclaim praised the PS3, they still aren't exactly the most talented studio out there.... pretty much anything they say would be abated by their history.

That statement would carry more weight if it was not attatched to a multiple paged thread about Acclaims comment.8)

Acclaim? They can't tell other people how to make money. They just can't. They define the word "flop" in this industry.

They made a few terrible movie liscense games, a few terrible extreme sports games, and threw away the Dave Mirra brand to make "BMX XXX" which was basically a disc of porn with a few broken game segments in between clips of boobies.

acclaim used to be a good company....where the hell have they been though what games have they even made this generation? lol i thought they went out of businessprimateface

What freaked-out parallel universe do you come from?? The ONLY thing Acclaim had going for them for awhile was that they published Midway's games back in the 90's. Other than that, I'm hard pressed to think of another developer who consistently released crap. Oh wait...3D0

Whether it came from Acclaim or not, isnt it a little worrying that Sony has lost more this gen than they made in profit last gen? I mean doesnt that mean they won't make a profit on the PS3 this gen, I doubt it will be as successful as the PS2?

Where are his comments on MS losing billions? I guess MS is a flop because they lost billions with the Xbox and will never make more profit this gen than they've lost so far.

BUt the real question is...why the fark does he care? It's not his company and has nothing to do with him.

Never cared about Acclaim for as long as 1991.

They made that Wrestlemania IV game for SNES waaaay back then, even then I didn't give a rat's fart about them :lol:

Hm... I was pretty sure Nikko Citigroup said that the PS3 could be turning a profit by this month. It may be optimistic, but it from a market analyst. And if you look at it that way, the only console that isn't a flop is the Wii. The XBox360, as well received as it is in North America, is predicted to turn a profit just this year too; a full year later than PS3. On top of that, Microsoft reported spending a billion dollars just repairing problem XBoxes. In any event, a developer as detached from the current gaming generation as Acclaim making statements such as those really have little traction.
