Game Publishers Pressuring Sony For PS3 Price Cut

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday March 17, 2009 @10:24PM from the i-can-get-behind-that dept.

Bloomberg is running a story about several video game publishers and developers who are pushing for a long overdue price cut on Sony's PS3 console. Sales of the PS3 are lagging behind both the Wii and the Xbox 360 despite the PS2's resounding victory in sales of the previous generation of consoles. One of the creators of LittleBigPlanet, a PS3 exclusive, made similar comments in an interview with Gamasutra, acknowledging that they're looking forward to the day Sony drops the PS3's price. An analyst from Janco said such an action is necessary if Sony doesn't want to "lose support from game developers and publishers."

"That's even before you count the stupidity of having to charge the PS3 controller by plugging it into the system, and leaving the system on for hours."
I say, that IS very stupid. It must suck to be someone whose problems are of their own making. You don't have to leave the system on for hours. For one, it charges in less than an hour. For two, plug the fucking thing in and charge WHILE YOU PLAY. It charges and works at the same time. Oooooh! Or.... get a 2nd controller and always keep one charged? You're welcome, stupid.
