High PS3 Price is Pushing Away Developers

It seems the recent events and problems that surround PS3, such as issues with Blue-Ray support or the fallout from the $499-599 price structure, no longer turn away only customers but also developers.

According to GameDaily Biz, the support from 3rd party game developers may be questionable:

"In the PS3's native Japan, the reaction has been less than pleasant, with more than 90 percent of developers in a recent survey stating that the price of the console is just too high. And indeed it seems that this high price is affecting whether or not certain developers decide to develop for the PS3. Sony's PlayStation business has always been backed by incredibly strong third-party support, but now for the first time that could be in jeopardy."
