It's a big threat and it would do a lot of damage if they don't, but more or less I doubt it will come to that and we'll see a price drop before.

Ah well, no more GH or COD, it seems. Man, what a shame.:( JK, Rock Band is better than GH(even though sales don't agree, but most people do agree, and most people I know have Rock Band as opposed to Guitar Hero), and KZ2, imo, is better than COD. Does that mean no MW2 for PS3? Ah well, less competition for shooters on PS3.:D

The fact that they even *threaten* this is serious. It shows just how poor the PS3 is from the overall marketing mix (price, place, product, promotion). PS3 fanboys can harp on all they want about how good cell is or blue ray, etc, (a bit like Betmax > VHS video tape). The fact is the overall marketing mix for this product is terrible.

Things like *dev costs* matter....a LOT. So what if you can pump $50 mill at an exclusive game and make it look good? There's clearly no business model there. One reason PS1/2 were so popular was that third party devs could make decent games for *reasonable* investment. Now, clearly all these devs to fanboys are "Lazy"; the fact is PS3 fanboys need a business reality check, devs make games to make money; PS3 makes this more difficult than other consoles.

Also forget about PS4. Making a new console costs billions, Sony at this time is losing billions, and still can't even make a profit on PS3; it's a disaster from a business perspective. Meanwhile both MS and Nintendo have plenty more cash to throw at this gen (wait for wii price cut), **and** develop the next gen of consoles.

They are simply stirring it, they only said that it could happen, not that it will, companys do this, e.g. Rockstar moaning about lack of space on 360.

Activision is merely pressuring Sony to lower the price of the PS3. They would not stop support for the console.

Huh?

I don't understand.

Are you saying most people prefer Rockband over GH?

Or people you know prefer Rockband over GH..

I don't see why having less FPS on a console is beneficial.

yea yea damage control. I own a ps3, and I know this is not good news. The CEO of one of the biggest third party developers considering stopping all development for sony's console is VERY bad news whether you want to believe it or not.

Oye, I hope not... My sister and her kids love Guitar Hero, and they have a PS3 :( Would be a bad move for Activision, I believe. There are a lot of PS3 owners who buy - and would continue to buy - their games.

from your article:

"MR : Personally, I want to show off our PS3 technology. We're one of the few developers who love the PS3 and have a great time with it. We have great technology for the PS3 and we want to show it off.

VG247: Isn't it the same for the 360?

MR: We're running the same game for both platforms but if we made a PS3-only game, for example, you could double the amount of objects on screen that you're seeing. The PlayStation 3 has seven processors and the 360 only has three, so seven versus three means you can do a lot more on the PS3. We're keeping the game the same over both platforms so we don't want to take out any features.

VG247: So is the game scaled down because of the limitations of the 360?

MR : For example, we've reserved one whole processor on the PS3 for Dolby Digital 5.1 sound whereas on the 360 you have part of one processor to do that. So we can have a lot better sound mixing and a lot more effects going on at the same time. That kinds of makes us do a little bit less in the game [360] but makes for better audio. If we're doing a PS3 only game however, we could be doing a lot more. We could be pushing a lot more on the screen."

The game being on 360 limited and toned down the Audio/Visuals/Effects.

Evidently, not enough. That's one of the points of the threat. He also said it's expensive to develop games for.

Why is every one one pointing the finger to Activision the movie is a Sony Pictures movie, I'm sure Sony pressured Activision to hype the PS3 version. Sony hypes everthing and always falls flat on their face.

There is a 8 min forced install on the more expensive PS3 console and the gamecomes up short against the 360.

We'll see. A lot of decisions like this are probably made as a result of, shall we say, extra incentives offered by one competitor against another. As it happens, Sony's competitor has *tremendous* clout, and they may have oh-so subtly pushed Activision in this direction. I just don't see Activision keeping their major titles going on the PS3 not paying off for them. This could well be Activision's way of saying "So Sony, what's it worth to you to keep getting Guitar Hero on your machine?..."

They want the PS3 to be below $200. That's insane.

I think everyone wants that. Including Sony. In fact, they're probably slapping their collective heads the hardest for taking the route they did this gen seeing as they're getting schooled by lower price alternatives more focused on gaming than trojaning formats into the living room.

Omg that is pure Bull. :lol:

The fact is the PS3 is hard to develop for and the extra tiime cost Devs more money and plus the PS3 has a smaller user base, that plays more of role then blaming MS.

Actually, it's pure speculation. Whether it's pure bull or not is yet to be seen. To me, it just seems unlikely that they'd turn their back on a still quite large user base that they have been effectively programming on for two years without a bit of added incentive. But, if you want to discount the possibility, fill your boots.
