don,t forget alan wake as well.

I'll be honest, I've never heard of this game. I'd love to see more detail on this story though. What kind of costs were they looking at?

I want to be careful how I say this and most importantly I am not being sarcastic.

I do feel sorry for Sony fans.

If the shoe were on the other foot, and Sony fans had been playing their PS3 since last year, and I was still waiting for a 360 that been delayed primarily because MS was shoving a MOVIE player down my throat that I might not even want I'd be pissed.

Like I said I do prefer 360 but I have been gaming since the 80's and have owned or purchased for my kids every major system starting (Including everthing SONY has made) "old skool" 1981 before alot of you were even born with pong on Mattels Intellivision.

(Atari, Colecovison, every Nintindo, playstation 1, 2 PSP, gamecube Dreamcast, segagenesis, Xbox ad now proud owner of a 360 since launch)

I was such a big Sony fan I stole my wifes nintendo and took my sega and traded them both in on launch day to get the PS1 (She still pissed about it if I bring it up) But I had to have those graphics.

I'm not starting a flame war or trying to insult anybody.

But I think Sony has been deceptive with it's fans on too many occasions. The high cost pf production will hurt PS3 along with the projectedhigh cost of software to make it profitable and the questionable live network (I'll believe it's free and runs smoothly when I see it.)

If you want to remain loyal to Sony "It's cool".

But for the first time now I will not buy a Sony gaming machine.

MS for my money has done a better job with XBOX LIVE and the games "I" like to play (Sports and FPS)

My kids like GTA and FF but I won't spend the $800 this year. Everyyone keeps saying $599 for PS (Likely way more on ebay over the holiday season, if you can find one) for a console extra contoller, carying case and a game or three,etc.) but you're gona buy stuff to go with it.

360 at launch I paid $1100..but I got two and games.
The kids will be getting a Wii to keep them happy and off "my" 360.

"silent ninja" You still didn't tell me WHY you think its a major problem for big companies....I think its a very small problem for major companies like EA and Capcom, I mean really for big companies like that they can start the dev. process on the 360 first and spend some extra time & money to "port" it to the PS3 without starting the dev. process from scratch which is a way to cut dev. costs...but even if they dont, Do you actually think the extra money that it costs to make the PS3 version of RE5 won't well be worth it compared to the actual total sales for this game?...yes they may make a little more off every title sold for 360 but they will still make a pretty good profit margin off PS3 sales...which is exactly why its multi-platform. And also lets not forget that PS3 games might end up costing more than 360 games to make up for expenses. I don't think Sony is responsible for discouraging small companies to enter the business but I will agree that small companies might tend to stray away from Sony simply because of the huge dev. costs which is a bigger risk for a small company with game titles that are not well known and typically don't sell huge quantities like Capcom with RE5.
Therefore Capcom is not worried about dev. costs because it has a bigger budget and a very low risk factor on the other hand small dev.'s have to choose platforms more carefully because they have a smaller budget with a higher risk factor, because if they pay for those high dev. costs and the game doesn't sell BIG then they could end up in a financial bind.

Too bad that this happened, but not surprising as they were probably building it primarily for PC, and Xbox 360 programming is pretty much the same so it would be easy to port to 360. Reworking it for the SPE's and RSX was probably not worth it for them. I was actually really looking forward to this on PS3. Oh well.

It has already been announced by developers they are developing games on the 360 and porting them to the ps3...Most multi platform games will be ports from the 360.. I don't know why they can't do the same here?? MS might have put some $ into play to have this done!!

too expensive, that's unfortunate but it's a harsh reality for third party developers. The ps3 is just not built like a gaming machine.

I don't care much for Sony or their practices, but I still fail to see how people can hail this as a good thing.

Don't get me wrong... Nintendo is usually my first choice in consoles, and I have a history of knocking Sony products, but Sony has done a ton of good for this industry, and to pray that they fail... what good does that do for gaming on the whole? None.

They've made mistakes going into this next generation, and they're going to have to try and work through them, but they're not going anywhere, for better or for worse. They have a function and a purpose same as Nintendo or Microsoft do. While there's nothing wrong with prefering one system to another, there is something wrong with blind fanboyism.

Oh, and a fact I forgot to mention... what if this game ended up being a sleeper hit or 'Game of the Year' caliber? Now we may never know.

Again, I don't know if it's something I'd cheer for or laugh about.

Track7 in simple words is a joke. Read the whole article on PS3Land to find out.

I love my xbox 360 and im exteamly satisfied with it.

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
