Sony doing all they can to sink the PS3
One more nail in the coffin of PS3: No games
Here?s the tally:
- Launch delayed
- $500 price point at launch (while Xbox 360s will likely be going for $350 by then)
- 400,000 units for US Launch, 100,000 for Japanese launch due to difficulties in producing BluRay drives
- BluRay games will load slower than HD-DVD (Source: A cross-platform game developer)
- And perhaps worst of all, Sony can?t produce BluRay discs fast enough, so the launch titles will all have very low shipping volumes - even the top-tier licenses will only have 50,000 to 100,000 copies available this year. That?s right, even if you do want to spend $500 on the PS3, you may not be able to find games for it. When you consider that most of the sales for any console game happen within the first two months, any developer slated to release a PS3 launch title is in bad shape right now, and they?re certainly not happy with Sony.

Now, I do wish Sony the best, but I really don?t know how this launch could be shaping up to be any worse?
