Sony Struggles to keep 3rd Party Developers
Sony Struggles to keep 3rd Party Developers
Mercury News - October 19, 2007

One piece of news that came out this week was that Sony pleaded with third-party developers not to abandon its struggling platform. That change in attitude is a marked difference compared to the arrogance of past years. The argument is that the PS 3 will show its strength as developers learn how to make games for it. But developers know they can staff four or five Wii teams with the same number of people it takes to make one PS 3 game.

The argument that they can staff more Wii teams per PS3 title would appear to be a strong one on the surface. The problem of course is although the Wii has strong hardware sales they are not matched by 3rd party software sales, so it still may be more profitable to produce 1 good game on the PS3 over 2 or 3 games that do not sell well on the Wii.[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 60 ]bids

Thats only a slight problem in the U.S. In japan, the software sales are strong. And what third party program should see strong sales in the U.S. so far? There was 2 good 3rt party titles. Raving rabbits and RE:UC and both had decent sales.
