If Activision Cut Support for PS3 then PS3 is dead.

[QUOTE="Dweedledude5000"][QUOTE="lvgaming"]

Anti-gamers at their finest.. People should be more concerned with Activision taking the gamers to the cleaners with all their DLC.

hyperboy152000

kind of like the fallout 3 DLC?

What does activision have that is so fantastic?
Guitar hero and Modern warfare?
Because if that's the best they can do, i think sony could outdo at least guitar hero if necesary.

and dont tell me EA or freinds will take over PS3 because if Activision think PS3 is fail then so will EA and then if EA backs out on PS3 then other smaller devs will as well. Bout time a credible dev like Activision took charge and threatened Sony. Might see PS3s cheaper now if Sony arn't fools.Dweedledude5000

the ps3 will be fine without activision. they will be ok without ubisoft however the 360 will die without activision. and implode without epic.

They won't, there is no way they would drop 140, 23 and 50 million userbases

If the PS3 actually lost support from Activsion then yes that would be massively awful news for the PS3. Only a fanboy would say otherwise cause no COD or Guitar Hero would be very bad. With that said i dont think it will end up happening unless Sony doesnt drop the price until late next year.

its the install bas of the ps2 (140 million) psp (50 million) and ps3 (~23 million)

what has activision given sony any way lol guitar hero? they release it first on xbox 360 anyway i could really care less about activision, amd if they did cut and run and when PS3 comes back in sales and they want to come back to PS3 well, their SoL you cant just come back. activision is just all talk they wont do a thing

Sony might just go and spite Activision by denying them access to all their consoles altogether. The PS2 is has proven to still be a get revenue stream for all companies to fall back on. That would really put a dent into Activision's revenue.

That really makes no sense :? 1st off COD4 (not sure about cod5) sold 5.something on 360 versus 4.something on PS3, now if Activision wants to give up 44% of the sales i say let their company commit suicide they'll have to answer to their share holders at the end of the day and your thoughts about EA is laughable, you think a company that puts its games on basically anything with a screen is going to give up around 40% of the console market ? please if they didn't give up on the xbox ( 24 million in 4 years) hen why wound they give up on the PS3? ( 22 million in 2 1/2 years )micky4889

You cant look at it like a they sold 3million on 360 vs 2 million on PS3 arguement. You have to look at how much did it cost me to produce the game on the PS3 vs the 360. If it cost 2million to make it on the 360, and the 360 generated 4million dollars, and the PS3 it cost 4million to make and generated 4.5million in profit then the picture becomes more clear.

I would imagine they do. Whereas the PC/360 are interchangable so developing on one allows for an easy transition to the other. We have all seen direct port 360 to PS3 games, and those speak for themselves.

yea like activision, EA, konami posted their profits and broke it down by console and it turned out that for EA the ps3 made the most profit for them (by a small margin) and konami got huge profits from the ps3 (MGS4 and PES 09 mainly) and activision got a considerable amount off their ps3 games

Media Molecule. At the time of LBP's launch, they only have 27 people in the entire company. ;)

[QUOTE="micky4889"] That's a good point but i still don't buy it, although PS3 development does cost more then the 360 it is nowhere near as bad as that.

Just checked, you're right. They were acquired by Sony in 2001. So they used to be 2nd party.

fantastic arguement going on here, but lets drop it and agree that they arent even comparable.

Lol..the damage control in here is thick. "What does Acti even have other than cod & guitar hero" ..right, cause those games don't sell millions of copies right? And if they ceased producing them for the ps3, a whole slew of new 360 owners would flood the market so they could play the new COD or GH. Cows act like just because these franchises don't appeal to them that somehow others can't like them..and you also seem to think that Acti is incapable of making new IPs that would cease to exist on the Sony platform in the future. Good luck at that.DeadMagazines

Yeah fanboys tend to ignore reality, but yes if Activision actually dropped support for the PS3 that would be incredibly bad for Sony.

Let's suppose they did drop support. Then what? Where will they make up for the roughly 40% revenue loss? And please don't even try to say that it will be made up by new people purchasing their games. Yes there will be some, but to say they will entirely eclipses the loss of revenue from PS3 sales is laughable.

actually LBP was incredibly low budget (low staff and it wasnt ment to be a graphics king so not a whole lot of time developing) but that shows how easy a game sells if you gear it towards the comunity and not your own "laws"
