PS3Today.com and PS3Focus.com have reported a recent Japanese article about PS3 developer support, which has an insider source claiming that the initial investment for PS3 software development it at least �2 billion (U$S 17.6 million), and that figure does not include the actual development costs associated directly with the title.

This initial investment, according to this insider source, is "nothing but a nightmare for many Japanese software development companies."


The article also reveals that the prevailing rumor in Japanese game development circles is that many companies may end up developing for the Xbox 360, which will lower R&D costs since the system shares many similarities with Windows game development, allowing developers to release a single title on both platforms.

Just read up on that. Should be interesting. It seems as if the Vole has the upper hand.

That's sounds really interesting. I'll have to research on some of that and wait to see if it improves sales or declines them. November 22 is the release date for the Xbox 360 as far as i know. Can't wait.

Stores will be shipped their 360's and at-release games on the 15th.

Along with anyone who won the Mountain Dew 'Every 10 minutes' contest. They get it a week early.
