Comments on: Third Parties To Drop Support For PS3… According to Microsoft http://www.ps3blog.net/2009/01/15/third-parties-to-drop-support-for-ps3-according-to-microsoft/ Fri, 10 Feb 2012 12:25:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: paxpacis http://www.ps3blog.net/2009/01/15/third-parties-to-drop-support-for-ps3-according-to-microsoft/#comment-176758 paxpacis Sat, 17 Jan 2009 16:34:25 +0000 http://www.ps3blog.net/2009/01/15/third-parties-to-drop-support-for-ps3-according-to-microsoft/#comment-176758 Anybody knows how many xboxes are modded? This way we can compare the ps3 install base against the non-modded xboxes. I mean if they sold 10.000 xboxes and 50% are moded they only sell 6000 games or so if every body want it.. for the unmoddable ps3 would that be 10.000.. so a install base of many figures is not always a good thing for the 3rd parties.. But as people already mentioned.. MS give's a lot more money to a developper to have some exclusivity or other release dates etc.. And there is where Sony can also make a differance..

We've seen they do earn quite well from ps3, merely by porting their games. It is not like they need to have different assets. As the consoles are nearly the same in power, they can share the same data. It mostly needs just re-programming, which never would double the development costs, but indeed would bring much more cash.. That is very stupid.

For the past year M$ has just been throwing dirt at PlayStation, while they hardly did the same. The Japanese are just trying to stay humble and not try to beat M$ at their current 'agenda'. Cause they know, don't argue with a fool cause they'll drag you down to their level and beat you on experience. This is getting really annoying.

Wording stuff carefully, you can actually turn his statement around easily. It's not like PS3 software sales in the US are like MSs sales (in General) in Japan... And still japanese software companies support MS. And as Henning posted, the third party sales are VERY good actually... on an installed base normalized chart, third parties actually sell more on PS3. I know I know, this is a bit far fetched, but come a price cut and more hardware sales, we'll see this turn out to be an advantage for the PS3 very soon!
