They are getting as bad as EA for yearly increment games and games with plastic junk controllers.]]>Jun 19th 2009 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/
I seriously doubt Actibitching would actually do anything. ]]>Jun 19th 2009 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/Jun 19th 2009 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/
I, for one, as much as I hate Activisions new "policies" on yearly releases, am pretty damn excited for Modern Warfare 2, and losing such large titles would Kill Sony. Some of the highest selling games over the last year have been from Activision, be it GH:metallica/World Tour or COD5.

I try not to support Activision due to it's beating of franchises (Mod. warfare 2 being an exception for me), but you gotta admit, losing them would be a deathrattle for sony.]]>Jun 19th 2009 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/Jun 19th 2009 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/
I agree, the PS3 needs a price drop, but I think the console is already cheap enough for all of what it offers compared to the competition.

As for the PSP, wtf is this guy talking about. The portable is selling amazingly well.]]>Jun 19th 2009 11:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/Jun 19th 2009 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/
Considering how many games Activision publishes and how popular they are, losing Activision would be a tremendous blow by any standards. I think it's unlikely that Sony would follow Activision's advice, but more likely than not, they'll probably go into talks with them to work something out.]]>Jun 19th 2009 11:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/Jun 19th 2009 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/Jun 19th 2009 11:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/Jun 19th 2009 11:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/And Sony will lower the price eventually but it's not because of Activision.

PS3 Game Sales rank among all consoles (including Wii, PS2, etc) for top companies for fiscal year March 2008 to March 2009 (some for calender year 2008)

Konami: #1
Capcom: #1
Ubisoft: #1
Take 2: #2
Electronic Arts: #2
Activision: #4

Well, look at that. Their position says it all - a cheaper PS3 might help Activision sell some (crappy?) games that people just aren't buying for PS3. The other companies seem to be fairing amazingly well on the PS3 platform.

Activision knows they won't do this, sony knows they won't do this, EVERYONE knows they won't do it so why bother saying other than to puff your chest out?

Its a fact... I have all 3 systems and only 2 games for PS3. But I have about 15 blu-rays and rent blu-rays from netflix. I usually buy games for the 360 because I feel the online is better and I can use rechargeable batteries(Most don't need this but my family room situation I do).]]>Jun 19th 2009 12:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/Jun 19th 2009 11:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/
Everyone knows Activision won't drop Playstation, it's by far the biggest gaming brand on the planet. Bigger than Wii, bigger than Xbox. (Playstation had shipped over 400million units into homes).
]]>Jun 19th 2009 12:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/
Sony has only shipped about 23 million PS3s worldwide while the Wii has shipped over 50 million in the same amount of time and the 360 shipped 30 million since it's release.

As for everyone harping on Activision: Considering the game costs $60 means the controller that comes with it is $40, the same price as those PS3 controllers. And you can just buy the game by itself and use an old controller so quitcherbitchen. Same goes for the RB series.]]>Jun 19th 2009 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/Jun 19th 2009 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/Jun 19th 2009 3:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/Jun 19th 2009 10:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/Jun 19th 2009 10:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/Jun 19th 2009 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/activision-threatens-to-drop-sony-if-sony-doesnt-drop-ps3-and-p/
