Honestly surprised I was the first to break this news… But still…
Original News Story: http://www.vg247.com/2009/06/19/acti-boss-we-might-have-to-stop-supporting-sony-next-year/
'Acti Blizz head Bobby Kotick’s said he may stop supporting Sony with software unless it drops PS3’s price.
“They have to cut the price, because if they don’t, the attach rates [the number of games each console owner buys] are likely to slow. If we are being realistic, we might have to stop supporting Sony,” he said.
Asked when Sony titles may be pulled, Kotick added: “When we look at 2010 and 2011, we might want to consider if we support the console — and the PSP [portable] too.”
Wow.
“Games generate a better return on invested capital on the Xbox than on the PlayStation,” he said.
Kotick added that Acti Blizz paid $500 million to Sony in royalties and other goods last year, which “probably still worked out at 400 percent of the profit they made”.'
Good. Last Acti game I bought was Spiderman: Web Of Shadows. Now that they sold the rights of Brutal Legend through to EA I'm even happier so f*ck 'em!
Of course this is a big bluff on Kotick's side, he wants the price to drop so people can buy more PS3's and more copies of Acti Blizz games. I really hope Sony says 'Good, we don't want you any way' and Acti Blizz's sales drop. Self righteous little snot bags.
Oh and for people about to mention Guitar Hero or Call Of Duty… I hate FPS' and Rock Band blows Guitar Hero out of the water
Well…… I'm sorry, but if cod leaves the ps3 then
i will be very angry.Really, i think its just activsion not liking sony, i mean remember all the double points weekends on cod4 that xbox had a week early (i was told it was cos activision dont like sony) and so on….
Ps3s can be bought for £200, 80 gb, and that was just in store that i saw randomly (No looking around) an xbox from somewhere standard (this 1 purely for an average price on Game.co.uk) a premium console – 60gb harddrive is £170, + the elusive £40 for live to get online, ur payin £10 more for a 20gb smaller HDD, And will have 2 pay live in the future.
confuses me 2 say the xbox is cheaper, its just a stereotypical view held by many against the ps3Well….as far as i can see yes, ps3s are cheaper
I think before i support this state,ment, further research should be done, its just when you walk into some shops which sell ps3s at £400 with a game, ppl take that as an average price.
I tend 2 look around before buying, so if ppl are ever on the net, pls have a look and try 2 find average/ cheap prices, and i think you'll find them comparitive with xboxs. danny-boii said:
