Activision and Sony to part ways?

The CEO of Activision has been reported to have told the London Times, that should Sony not drop the price in the Playstation 3 console, that Activision may stop supporting the company. This is bad news for Sony, as Activision is a major supplier of some of the top Playstation 3 game titles… and what will it mean for the future of the Playstation 4?

Due to the high development costs the Playstation 3 requires developers to invest much more heavily into a new title for the PS3, in comparision to the work and investment required for either of the other leading consoles, Wii or XBOX 360.

In addition to the threats of Activision, the Sony video game division has also suffered heavy losses in the last year, over half a billion dollars…

While it is unlikely any developer company as large as Activision could walk away from developing for the Playstation, it is possible that this will be the push that Sony needed to provide us happy consumers with a nice holiday price break…

In the end though the problems seem to be what they always were, the Playstation 3 is so much more of a robust system and so much more than just a gaming console, this has been as much of a negitive thing as a positive thing for Sony, a good example of over delivering… The amazing graphics and ability behind the system make PS3 games some of the most expensive to develope, and the hardware within the PS3 makes it one of the most expensive consoles on the market today… That said Sony built an amazing system with the Playstation 3, and it is likely to be around for at least a couple of years before its replacement is even introduced… A lot can still be done with the PS3!
