If you put a bag of excrement in front of Sony, they will step in it.

Someone sum that up for me. I'm too lasy to read that whole article.

Kens being a ***
Game designers require an initial investment of at least 2 billion yen [US $17.6 million] [not including development costs] to develop a game for the PS3.
The companies are cheap and might switch to Xbox 360.

The end

17.6 millions?wtf?thats a lot of money

Well, it's about time Ken got fired, for God's sake he's flippin' insane...

xpitbull · 02-10-2005, 12:09 AM

i agree, he is not doing a good job

That is way too much money to spend. How many people actually think a software company can profit from an investment like that? Personally, I am neutral on deciding the "best next gen council", but come on. The PS3 is doomed before it even starts! The Cell processor is awesome! It can do amazing things, but Sony has a huge bottleneck that destroys the possibilities of the processor. On top of that, now they want companies to spend millions of dollars before development of there software can even start. Finally, they actually expect consumers to spend around $500 for the system and at least $60 for the games. We don't even know how much other accessories will cost yet and I am turned away from the PS3! I seriously think this time it will be between the 360 and the Revolution.

That's a rediculous ammount to charge. Sony may well be digging their own grave here.

No, the price quoted is an estimate of how much it would cost to develop from scratch for PS3 i.e. game engines and tools etc

Ken seems not only to be turning his back on the consumers, but on the developers as well ????

What the h*ll is going on in his head ? He's going coo-coo again !!! What! He thinks he has the whole industry to his feet ??? He probably thinks developers are just DYING to develop for PS3 and are ready to to anything for it ????

...Nonsense !

Sony is really doing everything wrong this time !

The man is insane.

I've been saying it for years!

Looking at this the games are going to be more than $60.00.

I heard a figure awhile ago that was in Yen but it translated to like $74-$80! I don't see that as far off, Blu-Ray is too expensive...

"The PS3 is not aimed at household cost."
"I want you to think you'll have to work more hours to get the PS3."
"Microsoft is still not a black belt."?

...right
Where did Ken get the last phrase? The other two I do think are true. If this keeps up, then good bye Sony, Playstation, and blind PS fanboys.

Nobod will spend 70-80 bucks for a game, oh no hell no thats not go
