my original statement was directed only to the M$ sponsored troll who used key words that would paint him as a xbot.

psycho you were right and fearmonkey you bought a good argument.

But sticking to the article topic fuck Kotick if he thinks dropping support for ps3 won’t hurt Activison.

That last statement though just makes you look like a Sony fanboi. I know you love Sony, but cmon, you can do better than that.
We all know none of those games were the reason to buy a 360, thats like said Xbots mentioning LAIR.
Both consoles have some great games, and some crap ones, it just depends on what you like. I’m an RPG fan (not so much a JPRPG fan), and frankly the 360 is better for that right now. If Sony was the better platform for RPG’s, I would have owned a PS3 long ago.

Don’t be a tard TEA. Especially given one of those titles is on the PS3 too…

Also when some jumps out and say the reason xbox360 is better than ps3 is because of the controller they are just being a plain stupid fanboy. I’ve beenusing the dualshock for over 10 years and across 3 generation platforms. Theres o way in the hell I’m just going to hold a 360 controller and say yup 360 is better than ps3. no way.

As for games xbots keep talking about, exclusives?!! what exclusives?!! Bullet witch, vampire rain, Too human, are you serious? These games along with the 360 controller made you make the switch?!! LMAO then you deserve your 360 and the RROD every 4 months

One, despite all the flawed ‘margin’ arguments I see kicking around, Activision is not in a position where millions of profitable unit sales can simply be ‘thrown away’. Even is each MW2 sale on PS3 is a little less profitable than a 360 unit you don’t simply throw away that volume of nonetheless profitable sales.

If margin was the only factor then every company in the world would be tiny, focusing on very high margin sales of a very small number of very efficiently made/sold units. But guess what, marketshare, volume sales, etc. are part of the story too and most companies are actually trying to become profitably larger (i.e. sell more while remaining nicely profitable).

Activision needs volume sales as much as margin – its unprofitable sales that would be an issue, something that MW2 on PS3 isn’t going to be.

Then there’s public perception. Everyone’s expecting MW2 to break records. With the PS3 is sure won’t be. GH would also take a nasty knock in performance. You think IW would be happy losing the PS3 platform? Just add up global CoD4 and COD:WaW sales to get an easy answer to that one.

He wants more PS3s in the market, not less, and he’s using Activision’s recent performance to try and put external pressure on Sony to suit his desires vs their own.

He may also want to foster a public perception to aid future royalty discussions, etc.

His comments aren’t even accurate – as attach rate on PS3 has been steadily rising and many multiplatform titles sell fairly equally (globally that is, not regionally) these days by all accounts.

Going by accepted logic its the 360 that would see attach rate dips first as eventually, if you really score big with install base, your attach rate actually suffers.

So unless Activision really want to literally lose millions of dollars of profitable revenue he won’t follow through on this threat.

explain to me what have you played great games like Ico, shadow of the colossus, god of war, tekken 1,2,3,4 and 5,gran turismo, onimusha series, mgs 3 and 4,ff 7,8,9,10,12, syphon filter 1,2,3,jak 1,2,3, ratchet 1,2,3, sly cooper 1,2,3, resident evil games, and many other great franchises that started on PLAYSTATION first with.

oh a dualshock. if you hate it so much why did you put up with it for the past 10 years. and don’t pull a blackdreamhunk on us and say you were playing pc games

fucking loser

1.) over use of the word ‘fanboy’

2.) 40 year old USING the term ‘fanboy’ is lame

3.) Xbox controller does suck

oh and to mushroom head, i forgot a lot of kids are graduating this week and losers like you will go back home to your parents basement and make a career trying to be an internet star,(its working good for that kid that left school to play GH ) but the fact you just mentioned something about the ps3 controller just labeled you a fanboy there.

You want to know why people aren’t buying more games on the ps3. Its because they can rent them, do you understand that many people have lost their jobs this past year. Another possibility could be that the PS3 is great for a lot of other things than just playing games that many people enjoy.

I personally understand if someone wanted to rent a game they know is short and just want the trophies (Eat Lead anyone). A lot goes into the factor of the attach rates. It has nothing to do with people not interested in a PS3.

You make it sound like every 360 owner has a ps3 and there’s only 7 million people out their with ps3 only. i don’t think so. the ps2 was harder to develop for than the xbox1 but that didn’t stop devs did it…yea pick up your face now and deal with real facts.

Sony couldn’t afford to keep FFXIII and GTA IV exclusive. You think they could afford to buy out a huge chunk of EA?

I’ll have some of what you’re smoking.

Rockband is better than GH any day of the week.
Tony Hawk is a joke now with that stupid board.
Treyarch is shit enough said.
Infamous shits on any of the spider-man games to date.

who is he kidding? this guy must have just found out his new 23 year old wife was fucking the pool boy and now she wants a divorce and half of his money LOL.

It has nothing to with being harder to develop for. Infinity Ward proved that same with the burnout guys. Its all about price. If ps3 would have launched at $400 like the xbox360 this article would have never existed.

That looks like a thinly veiled ‘Activision are just a small fish in the big sea of our business relationships’ to me…

@ 19:23: SCEA has responded to ActiBlzz’s threats.

Erm…WTF?
