So, why would he jump ship before the release of the PS3? It's not like the guy is retiring. The article states he is persuing other areas within the gaming industry.
SOMETHING IS TERRIBLY WRONG HERE.
UPDATE: Thanks "Xtrm L1481L1TY". You're right, he is persuing things outside of gaming industry. I still feel that having to leave so close to launch in Europe still leaves some thoughts of WHY?
Can someone scan the PSM article and post it? I would like to read the article from beginning to end before I comment.
Thanks.
Dude, don't you know that most of Japan is loyal to Sony and Nintendo? XBOX360 is still and always will be a western product that will have it's uphill battle in the land of the rising sun! Think of it this way. I see the XBOX360 like the DS. It was slow to sell in the beginning, but as more games were available, sales will pick up. PS3 is losing game exclusives. XBOX360 is gaining game exclusives. We'll see who's laughing by Christmas.
I was a CES 2007, at Bill Gates Keynote said at his speech that they SOLD 10.4 Million Consoles!!!
It is a hard read, the numbers are for Japan. Sorry PS3 fanboys... I am amazed why PS3's aren't selling out over there!
Where is the official numbers from a reliable source like NPD? I don't believe 5 million copies. I believe at least 2 million games were sold. To get 5 million games sold, every PS3 purchased until now must have an attachment rate of 5 games. I don't believe it because my friends have only bought Resistance.
Show me an article from a developer(other than Sony owned) that says the PS3 is easier to develop than the XBOX360, PC or the Wii!!!
Answer: DOES NOT EXIST
Why: Because the truth is that it is difficult to develop. Not impossible, DIFFICULT.
In the meantime: Developers will make ease of using tools that they are familiar with and make great games. PS3 development is still a learning process. How long will it take? Don't know, but in the meant...
For saying that Motorstorm is a first gen that feels like next-gen. There is no denying that the developer of that game had more than two years to develop it. Remember, that game was supposed to be release in beginning 2006. Then Sony delayed the launch. So, more development time you have on it, of course it's gonna look great. Don't be give us this crap about how great it looks. If you gave the same development time with the XBOX360, it'll look just as good. LOOK AT GEARS OF WAR.
I THOUGHT THE PS3 WOULD BE REGION FREE??? SONY ARE SO MUCH THE HYPOCRITS!!! SONY IS GOING DOWN!!!!
The PS3 has been delayed for release like a year!!! Of course they'll have more games.
Half of these games were suppose to launch almost a year ago. A true gamer knows that. Here ago again with the PS3 HYPE!!! I'm waiting for the price to drop to even consider buying a PS3. $500 and $600 are way too much for a console. I'll BUY A Wii and an XBOX360 with that amount of money. There's more variety that way. 2 Consoles for the price of 1 PS3.
Too bad it's not in-game footage. Just more marketing crap.
Great find!!!
Pick it up for the Xbox, you don't know what you've been missing.
WOW... NICE LOOKING GAME.
SONY GOT CAUGHT WITH THEIR HAND IN THE COOKIE JAR.
Why isn't Sony making a statement about this??? I don't believe what the developers are saying because they are not willing to give up their names because of NDA??? Oh please... If the developers don't want to mention their names, then where is SONY at??? If the numbers isn't an issue, then SONY should make a statement!!! Otherwise, I believe that this is still a performance problem.
SONY NEEDS TO STAND-UP AND DEFEND THEMSELVES!!!! IT'S THEIR CONSOLE.

SONY... YOU SUCK!!! How can you be running games on PC when people were thinking that it ran on the Cell processor? Sony is the one creating HYPE behind the CELL offering, yet you're proving it doesn't work!!! Sony should have stuck with using a processor like the XBOX360. The multi-core, multi-threaded processor closely resembles todays multicore,multithreaded CPUs in todays PCs.
XBOX360 is going to have that too when the camera is released.
