SNK Not Planning on Producing for PS3 Till 2009

Kotaku headed over to the SNK offices in Japan to dig into the company's plans. SNK's overseas marketing manager Yoshihito Koyama told Kotaku reporter Brian Ashcraft that they didn't plan to jump in on PS3 development right away, SNK is pleased with the PS2.

My first impression is that it's expensive. The PlayStation 2 is good enough. It's small and cheap. For us, for manufacturers, we have to invest in a new system, and the PlayStation 3 is a risk. There won't be enough consoles at launch. Few consoles mean few software sales. We need to wait three or four years. Maybe 2009-2010 is a good time to release a game for the PS3.

Ashcraft chats with game designer and producer Falcoon about what he'd be doing if it wasn't making video games. To find out what he said, and just how awful Ashcraft is at fighting games -- check out Kotaku's SNK invasion.

WOW, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot more company's feel the same in the end, I keep telling people, the PS3 has 3DO written all over it, A powerful machine that failed, and failed big time.

I can see the PS2 getting 3rd party support from small developers till 2010. The PS3 is a risk to many of these small companies, if they put their all eggs into the PS3 basket and sales are really low, how do they recover? I don't see the PS2 going away for a long time till PS3 can hold solid ground.

Football, the PS3 may have 3D0 written all over due to horsepower under the hood and the price, but the SONY PLAYSTATION name is more established than the PANASONIC 3D0 was. This thing will sell out no matter what, but it will be rather expensive to develop on and that's why SNK and smaller publishers aren't taking the risk right away.

I hear ya Candy, I just think the PS3 will wind up going down as the most over hyped Electronic to come out in quite sometime. We will see soon..

That's SNK, they don't even make games that take advantage of the hardware of the PS2, Xbox, etc. Them not making games for the PS3 means very little.

Atari Gives PS3 Cold Shoulder...for Now


Nothing planned until 2007; focus stays on Wii, 360.


Atari CEO Bruno Bonnell is a wishy-washy kind of guy. On the one hand, he says in an interview with GamesIndustry.biz that his company has no plans to release any games for the PS3 until 2007, citing a lack of information about the console as the main reason.

Fair enough, but he then goes on to say how fab the PS3 is going to be, "picking up the high-end of the market, the hardcore, passionate fans." Bonnell confirms that there will be Atari titles on both the Wii and the 360 this year.

Way to contribute to the topic.

Atari is another company that can't afford risks of any kind, nor can they spread their resources too thin. Right now they are basically Neverwinter Nights and Dragonball Z. Wizards of the Coast wanted them to support their upcoming Dragonlance (Dragonlance is another setting for the popular role-palying game Dungeouns and Dragons, much in the same way as Forgotten Relms which is tied to Neverwinter Nights, Baldur's Gate, etc) movie with a videogame but were told that it is not feasable given Atari's current financial situation.

Any development company in a sorry state that can't afford a risk of any kind will either avoid the PS3 or supply it with a port.

Families are in a way "Companies". And with the economy the way it is right now I don't see many taking a risk either. 600.00 is a lot to families that have to spend 3.00 a gallon for gas, daycare, school. etc.

Whether you like it or not, it's not often that companies publically announce that they're waiting to see how a console does before they decide to make games for it. And it should say something if smaller companies aren't willing to put the time and energy into making games for the ps3.
