Sony says strong sales of premium machines mean a price cut might not be necessary
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
It says:
"We're seeing that the hard-core gamer is not afraid to throw another $100 at the PS3 because the value proposition is so rich."
So why discontinue it then!
yeah it's a big decision for Sony
they could either go on like this with decent sales or drop a price cut and give them a mahoosive boost
i would drop MGS4 and a price drop as two-hit knockout combo
there`s "NO PLANS"
LOL.
for what you get on both units are cheap wifi built in blu ray player, hard drive , my 60gb was bought in march in the uk for £469 when i compared that to the 360 add ons etc at the time i thought that was a bargain now with the 40 gb at £279 on amazon its cheap as chips,and best of all reliable system,
@ heyheyhey
MGS has never been a real hardware driver. The game sells some nice amount of copies to PS3 owners that stepped in already waiting for their game, but that is it.
Little Big Planet is a hardware driver though. It appeals to a lot more people in general. GTAIV is also one of those, too bad though it's multiplatform from day 1 on and the 360 has the most complete experience.
Back to the possible price drop: the 360 will drop maybe even around the GTAIV release to around 279 to 299 Euro/Dollar. When that happens, Sony needs to follow.
