Bear in mind there's a degree of saber-rattling to this, but still; Activision boss Bobby Kotick has warned Sony that his company - the world's largest third-party publisher - may cease support for the PS3 and PSP.

Speaking with The Times, Kotick said "I'm getting concerned about Sony; 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".

Subtle. But wait. It gets subtler.

"They have to cut the price, because if they don't, the attach rates are likely to slow", he continues. "If we are being realistic, we might have to stop supporting Sony...When we look at 2010 and 2011, we might want to consider if we support the console - and the PSP [portable] too".

In that absolute worst-case scenario, that would mean no Call of Duty for Sony consoles. No Guitar Hero for Sony consoles. No Tony Hawk, either. It probably won't ever come to that, of course, but Kotick's words are still worth noting. After all, when was the last time you ever saw a third-party publisher so openly threaten a major platform holder?

Sony should beware - Activision chief is not simply playing games



全球最大第三方出版商Activision總裁Bobby Kotick 近日在接受timesonline訪問時警告SONY,或許將不再支持PS系主機(PS3/PSP).

    Kotick,"我現正擔心SONY,PS3已經開始失去點勢頭,對我們來說支持這個平台也並不容易.主機平台的開發費用是昂貴的,而且Wii與XB360的銷量更佳.在投入資本上,XBOX與Wii比PS3有更好的回報."

    Kotick補充說,"SONY必須降價,如果他們不這樣做,附著率就會放緩.如果我們從實際考慮,我們可能不得不停止支持SONY....放眼2010與2011年,我們可能要考慮一下是否要繼續支持PS3平台...PSP也是."

    面對Activision總裁這番言論,最壞的打算是"使命召喚"沒有PS3版,"吉他英雄"沒有PS3版,"東尼滑板"沒有PS3版.當然,這只是威脅,可能永遠不會發生.但Kotick的話SONY還是值得注意的.畢竟,誰記得最後一次有第三方如此公開地威脅一個主機平台公司是什麽時候??

哈哈，那就降价吧~~~
RG又一次沸腾了！

后主刘禅 扶不正
支不支持都一样

"SONY必須降價"
sony 如果降价，还不被索青骂死，降了价就不高贵了。他们可是一直骂XO靠贱卖赢得市场。

In that absolute worst-case scenario, that would mean no Call of Duty for Sony consoles. No Guitar Hero for Sony consoles. No Tony Hawk, either.

红一台买一台是乃的自由，我断然不会干涉乃的内政，然而四处泛酸，这就是乃这个民工五元饭的不是了:D

没就没吧

Activision真的舍得这个能让COD卖到500万份的大市场么？我倒是要看看这厮欺皮眼涨的笑话了啊！

另，四年机行将就木，倘若再放弃PS3，莫非这厮已经做好喝西北风的准备了灭？

赫鲁晓夫和尼克松都来了:D
