    It looks as though things are going to get worse for PS3 before they start to get better. Being a monumentous console launch as it is, it's bound to be plagued with problems at launch. Be it levels of stock, launch titles, or even hardware and software faults.

    With all that and the price in mind, it's looking all the more tempting to wait until the first price drop to pick one up.

    it's the developers who have been taking a beating from sony on the ps3 - given the obscene (7-8 figure) costs of the development hardware - which is in extremely short supply - there are a lot of developers who simply aren't bothering (http://biz.gamedaily.com/industry/feature/?id=12699)

    not only that, but sony's treatment of developers is poor - major studios are hearing from the press about major changes to the ps3 design (such as the loss of rumble), because sony don't have enough respect for their licensors to keep them updated. ten days, the warhawk developers were given, to add tilt control before e3. ten days - and no other bugger knew about it.

    by comparison, nintendo's "cheap & cheerful" (4-5 figure) development strategy, and microsoft's easy & documented deveopment kit, both of which are in good supply...

    well, nintendo used to mistreat their third party developers, and it landed them at the bottom of the home console market

    I'd rather see games delayed than rushed to market. Both DOA4 and Oblivion were meant to be release titles for 360 but were delayed to finish the games.
