Sony: it was the games (or lack there of) fault


It wasn’t the $600 price point or the lack of systems at launch that kept Sony’s PlayStation 3 from becoming a smash hit.

Nope, it was the games!!!

That is according to Sony Computer Entertainment America anyway. The company is blaming poor sales of the PS3 on the media – or more accurately the lack of media. GameDaily is reporting that Sony is putting the blame on the lack of new software available this spring for their underperforming next generation console.

NPD Group numbers for April show that just 82,000 PS3s were sold in the U.S. But the Sony team remains optimistic with hopes that new games, including 15 exclusive titles, will be enough to turn things around for the PS3.

Hey Sony, a price cut wouldn’t hurt either!

The main reason there was a lack of games was because they kept delaying the system and developers had to wait for their reference systems. It's kind of hard to make games for a system without having it. Just a thought
