i said the other day that VALVE wouldn't be the only devs, to decide not to develop for the ps3, no it's not good for SONY as they made a deal with SONY to support the ps2 if they cut the price of the hardware, SONY cut the price of the ps2, so it looks like activision are going to break there end of the bargain,activision are such cheapskates

Agreed, I can't imagine them isolating a 23+ million install base. If they didn't stop supporting Sony in 2007, I doubt they'll do it now.

After seeing the other thread about Activision possibly charging for online features in COD MW2, I'm convinced this won't happen..... Activision obviously cares about money too much to stop putting their titles on the PS3.

I know as a xbox 360 user I am getting the best multiplat possible ( or even better than ps3)


I know as a xbox 360 user I am getting the best online play possible


I know as a xbox 360 user I am getting the most demo's and arcade games and getting them the earliest possible

I dont have to worry about crap like activision not supporting my ****** console or Valve not supporting it... Those are some of the greatest devs out there

Sony, let them go if they want to. It is clear sinds fusion they are about money and money alone.
Staying in the same boat is a deathwish, just cut loose, cut the losses and get out of their ideas.

Well there's still Rock Band, and I doubt anyone here intends on getting Ride.

So Sony's only possibly missing out on Call of Duty 7 or 8?

I guess I never realized how expensive porting a game was, or making one for the PSP was.

*sigh* This won't happen, it's a big threat but Sony will be cutting the price of the PS3 before they would do anything like that, of course it would hurt Sony if they did that, but I doubt it's going to come to that if it does ouch, but oh well.

yeah this is all hot hair. the ps3 install base is far too big to ignore. yes ps3 is less profitable than the xbox 360 to make games for but they'd lose a lot by not supporting the ps3.

calm down i've read reports stating that the costs of porting across platforms is around 10% of development. it just seems weird that they'd be willing to forego that
