Activision's CEO Bobby Kotick has warned Sony that it might have to offer support for the entire PlayStation range.
Kotick has voiced concerns about the electronics giant's performance in recent times. Activision feels the PS3 is "losing a bit of momentum" and this might make developing for the console a tad difficult and that "games generate a better return on invested capital on the Xbox than on the PlayStation".
He urges Sony to cut the price of the BluRay powerhouse - if the attach rates for the PS3 continue to slow then Activision may have to stop supporting the console.
When we look at 2010 and 2011, we might want to consider if we support the console — and the PSP too.
Thanks to Edge.

How is this article making fun of Nintendo? It\'s just reporting news. Not even the comments are making fun.
I like when news bits about the other consoles are reported here. I don\'t read other gaming news sites and its good to keep up on what the competition is doing.

Don\'t get me wrong, I think it\'s interesting. But it\'s not really Nintendo-related. I\'ll read about this on Eurogamer or so...

Making fun of the competition would mean making fun of Sony/Microsoft -- that\'s what he meant.[/quote]
Oops. Didn\'t mean to say making fun of Nintendo. I was distracted while typing that and never reread it...

The PS3 isn't the pathetic console it once was
Actualy, in terms of game sales its still terrible.
I dont see how dropping the console price would help the attachment rate though.

But since this is a Nintendo site, you could at least have shown the relation to Nintendo.
Something like "The PS3 has not been able to keep up with the Wii. One possibility for this is the high development costs for PS3 games, in contrast with the low costs for making Wii games."
Without that link with Nintendo, it could be interpreted in any way...

That's bollocks. The link to Nintendo is obvious to anyone who isn't a single-celled organism, and 'making a point of saying it' would just read as quite patronising, in my opinion. As soon as you read the headline, the ramifications across the whole industry would be your first thought, no? Unless you just have dust and a moth inside your head instead of a brain.
