About a week ago, the president of Namco said that it costs over 1 billion yen to make a PS3 game and to turn a profit, it'd have to sell more than a half a million copies, which is not a good thing since Sony's missed its shipment goal. On top of that, Sony's making 3rd party companies pay for the bandwidth that is used to download their demos from the PS3 online store. With all these extra costs, I wouldn't be surprised to see more and more companies following suit and still maintaining the $50-$70 price point we have now.All this might help out the Wii though and repaire the damage Nintendo did to their relationships with 3rd party developers after the 64 and Gamecube. The Wii has a supercheap and friendly developer's kit, projects won't cost as much because of the non-HD graphics, and since the hardware's similar to Gamecube's, developers are probably already familiar with programming for it.

Why do we NEED to have dynamic ads in our video games? I by them to get away from reality, not be immersed in it. I get enough of that on a day-to-day basis. And even if it does bring down the cost of games (which it won't, just look at movies, product placement is rampant, and yet, I still eight bucks for a ticket and four dollars for a drink...), is it worth it for me to see an ad for some new drink Coca Cola's making that they'll plaster on every available surface they can find in the real world? *sigh* I miss the days when developers made games with the intent of being fun and profitable, and not just a fiscal investment...

In NBA 2K7 for XBOX360, an ad for Gatorade will come up, blocking at least half of the screen. This occurs at the most convenient time... when I have the ball and I'm about to make a big play. :( Tell me about it.
