[QUOTE="DeadMagazines"]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.dragonpuppy

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.

no they wouldnt... if they arent making a profit now on ps3 games then they would have dropped it alot sooner then when they are threating to, infact the only games that have "rediculous" development costs are 1st party games that are directly financed by sony anyways

stop being a blind fanboy and make a less biased topic and i might just find someone else to troll, then again do you have any tips for me since your so good at doing it yourself?

I wouldn't say dead, but unless Sony are able to pull a CoD of their own, they will be at a very distant 3rd place. CoD console exclusivity for the 360 would be quite the advantage for Microsoft. There is the Wii version but we all know THAT doesn't matter.

If Activision dropped support for the 360 then the 360 is dead. cwutididthar?Deathtactician8

Activision lacks common sense. If they cut support for the PS3, they are dead. Son't can live without activision.

[QUOTE="Dweedledude5000"][QUOTE="djsifer01"]They wont cut support, even if they did the PS3 would be fine, they have the best first party dervs in the world.PSdual_wielder

Sure....

Its not Activision dropping support what I'm concerned about...is the other companies following Activision...I dont own any Activision game, so I really dont care about them...

[QUOTE="gamer620"][QUOTE="thelastguy"]

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

hyperboy152000

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

I wouldnt care, the COD series died after COD2 for me. There are virtually no games i want from activision, the last game they released that i was remotley interested in was prototype, and i went against buying it because of the company they have become. I am not buying an activision game again, unless they clean up their act like EA has done. So go right again activision cut ps3 support, you wont be missed.

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

[QUOTE="hyperboy152000"]

[QUOTE="gamer620"] What the heck are the 140 and 50 million user bases? T he PS3 has 3 seperate user bases now? Activision never mentioned dropping Sony Support altogether. What I find really funny about this entire thing is the constant "We are comfortable with the PS3 price point and have no plans to drop the price" comments that they make all the time after the rumors come out, when in my opinion, the only reason they ARE saying this is that when people hear about a price drop they STOP purchasing systems at the current prices so you continue to reassure your soon to be fanbase "we have no plans on a price drop" Which gets people to continue to purchase the system at its current price, but I guarantee that Sony is thinking "we need to drop the price soon..." My guess is a holiday price drop(october/november), but seeing as that is still months away, Sony needs to keep the interested consumer believing that there is no price drop in the forseeable future. Sony would be stupid to NOT drop the price, even if they started losing money on the system. That didn't stop them before. Personally I applaud Activision. I have said it before. Sony Fanboys who are yet to purchase the system due to cost should be applauding them as well. If activision is publicly stating this, you know there are other devs who are doing it behind the scenes.gamer620

Ipik_Fenris

Didn't COD4 on the PS3 sale like 3 million copies? It would be dumb for Activision to stop supporting the PS3 platform.

Activision is bluffing, the PS2, PS3, and PSP have a combined userbase of over 200 million. Seriously Activision is worse now than EA ever was.

We're still on this stupid bluff?

Like ANY company would drop support for a 200 million userbase

I would support the PS3 if Activision dropped support.

[QUOTE="Dweedledude5000"] DLC that will be only Available on the Xbox 360. Thus PS3 wont be seeing any of that money.dragonfly110

kind of like the fallout 3 DLC?

was Fallout 3s dlc exclusive to the 360? I never got that game so IM not sure.

But if it was exclusive then yes like that.

time exclusive

Sony would be hurt... yeah.... but Activision would be hurt too. It would be a stupid move on Activisions part.... small profit >>>> no profit for Activision

If Activision actually made good games that interested me and stopped treating their audience like idiots, maybe I'd be more inclined to buy their products. Silent-Hal

Actually that DLC will be timed exclusive.

whatisazerg

What everyone always leave out though (you included) is if they can make up that "small profit" by being exclusive.

As I am sure you know, 3rd party publishers have to pay the console manufacturers a royalty fee per game sold. The fee is negotiable, and usually a lower fee is charged for an exclusive game and/or a known high seller. If MS gives them a lower rate to be 360 only, it could negate any loss in profit by stopping PS3 development.

So they would make the same (or more) andspend less (by not having to fund ps3 development).

Call of Duty? The FPS genre is bloated as it is without YET ANOTHER installment of the borefest that is COD. Pass.

Guitar Hero? No thanks Rock Band is better. Next!

Next,,,,,? What do you mean there's nothing else left?

Blizzard good, Activision bad. Stick with PC thanks.

Its all trash talk, Activision will not cut support from Sony.

i just think this so called 'threat' from Activision is plain and simple BS.. Their good titles sell well on PS3 with its 23 million install base which is expected to keep growing.. Activision's aim is to make profit so it would be stupid for them to sell millions of copies less for their upcoming titles by stopping support for PS3..

They just want Sony to announce a Price-cut because they know that would sky-rocket sales figures for PS3 which with a larger install base would mean possibly more PS3 copies for their games sold.. so if they just want to sell more copiesfor their gameshow the hell can they afford to stop support for PS3 ????

Activision should just worry about releasing/publishing great games, those will surely sell well whether or not PS3 gets a price-cut..

Activision merely put Sony in the spotlight to pressure them into a price-drop. Sony called the bluff and now nothing's going to happen.

Never gonna happen, waste of energy to even speculate on it.

the ps3 is leading by a mile against the 360 in asia although they dont even buy a single activision game there.
