"Bobby Kotick, head of Activision has been running his mouth about the PS3 offering a lower return on investment than the 360 or Wii. He says that the attach rate to the PS3 is likely to suffer if the price is not dropped. If this is the case, come 2010/11 they may stop supporting the PS3 and possibly even the PSP.
To try and illustrate his point, let's use Call of Duty 4. Let us say that on 360 each game sold generates 50% revenue for Activision and on PS3 25%. To break even on 360 Activision must sell 1m copies and on PS3 2m."

I don’t collect games for their value I collect games I enjoyed playing. Many games I own are worth a lot of money but they must be games I want to play for me to purposely collect them. Most of this list isn’t games I would enjoy. I may have some of these games because I bought my friends PS2/3 Collection years ago and I never actually looked what was in it. It was a couple hundred games though still sitting in a box and I’m sure there are some good valuable games. I should go sift through it sometime.
Was unaware that Verdict Day was rare, glad I still own my copy. Game is very good.
She forgot to mention Ni no Kuni Wrath of the White Witch Wizard's Edition with Ninostarter bonuses. This is the second or third most expensive PS3 game, and I own a sealed copy.

“As a reimagining of a classic 2D platformer, Rocket Knight remains one of my favourite modern examples of the genre so let's see why.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
With over 5144 games on the PS3, it is easy to miss out on some great games. Here are some of the best unknown games on the PS3.
I remember Stranglehold! One of the first DLC packs of its time. A bit expensive, but cheap by today’s standards.
Another PS3 hidden gems list, and yet again Time Crisis 4 and Time Crisis Razin' Storm get snubbed. Such fun games, that shouldn't be forgotten. If only we got a home port of Time Crisis 5: Mastermind Edition.
WET is something I wish they'd remake, they had so many great ideas but not all of them were executed properly
It had a lot of potential
Also Wanted Weapons of Fate is another game that had some new fun gameplay ideas.
Pretty interesting article . what did the quote mean
"only possible on ps3"?
Then theres someone playing cod 4 : modern ware.
All hypothetical. We don't know how much it costs to develop on either the PS3 or 360. The PS3 isn't as difficult nor as expensive as it was when it first launched. Cost have obviously come down since then, and the COD4 engine is already optimized for both the PS3 and 360 equally.
Realistically, selling 4- 5 million of any game is profitable business. This is more a about a company that wants more money and wants to exploit their ips, being the top dog, (by releasing three Guitar Heros in one year) any and every way possible. Of course they want more PS3s sold, rather than drop it completely.
There is no PS2 this generation.
Koticks' comments are more long term, rather than short term. As, he seemingly expects the PS3 to continue to sell at $399.99 for the next few years, disappointed at the lack of a price cut so far, after crying for one all year.
To any company, though, it's all about profit. These executives are vampires out to drain their ips dry and to sell you their products.
That vid is freaking epic. I ccant believe I just witnessed that.
I think I might have to buy COD4 again if you can drive online!
ok now i have to watch the video. hold on
