Sony is down on its knees begging. No they aren’t begging us to buy more PS3’s. Instead they are begging developers to hang around and still make games for the PS3. Dean Takahashi of the Mercury News in a report of the NPD breakdown alleges they are begging

“One piece of news that came out this week was that Sony pleaded with third-party developers not to abandon its struggling platform. That change in attitude is a marked difference compared to the arrogance of past years.” Said Dean on his blog.

“The argument is that the PS3 will show its strength as developers learn how to make games for it. But developers know they can staff four or five Wii teams with the same number of people it takes to make one PS3 game.”

There hasn’t been much of a presence by PS3 games in the monthly sales reports and it seems that Sony will beg to keep developers.

But what about the gamers? The guys at Sony also seem to have addressed the lack of backwards compatibility. Sony admitted to the lack of BC because they wanted to sell more PS3’s. Wow a bit of honesty from Sony, can you believe it? Basically they want people to buy the lower priced PS3 and not the PS2. We would still like to see more backwards compatibility but we also like being told the truth. Check out Adam Sesslers rant on this subject at G4tv  Sessler’s Soapbox   .
