Activision To Stop Making PS3 Games?



That’s just great. I mean, the PlayStation 3 is THE gaming machine. There is no denying that. I am sure Xbox360 fanboys will contest that but the capabilities of the PS3 are way beyond that of Microsoft’s toy. The problem is that Sony might have created a machine that is way ahead of its time. High costs and the relatively limited selection of games have contributed to a lot of problems that Sony has been experiencing.

And now Activision might pull out? This is utter disaster. Activision is one of the video game makers that actually provides excellent games for the PS3. Think Call of Duty. Think Guitar Hero!

Recently, Bobby Kotick (chief executive of Activision Blizzard) released a statement saying that he is “getting concerned about Sony.” He went on to say that “the PlayStation 3 is losing a bit of momentum and they don’t make it easy for me to support the platform. It’s expensive to develop for the console, and the Wii and the Xbox are just selling better. Games generate a better return on invested capital on the Xbox than on the PlayStation.”

I guess it all boils down to money, doesn’t it? After all, these companies are not here for the sheer pleasure of providing video games for the public. They are in it for the money! And if they are not making enough (in their minds) on games for the PS3, why should they continue doing so?

I hope that this won’t happen. I really do.
