Earlier in June, Activison-Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick commented, "They have to cut the price because if they don't attach rates will slow. Being realistic, we may have to stop support for Sony's consoles going into 2010 and 2011." Today Sony dismissed Activision-Blizzard's threats of stopping support for their Playstation 3 and Playstation Portable consoles as "a lot of noise". Sony CEO Sir Howard Stringer responsed to Kotick's comments by simply saying, "He likes to make a lot of noise."
Command & Conquer 4 Announced?
The UK office of Electronic Arts released a tweet via its private Twitter account, which is more or less self explanatory, "EA_UK_PR New release: EA LOS ANGELES ANNOUNCES THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMMAND & CONQUER 4 http://bit.ly/LOk6R". The link does not actually show much at the moment, as it only provides information on Fight Night Round 4 downloadable content.
Singularity Pushed Back to Quarter 1 2010
The insane amount of interest in Modern Warfare 2, the sequel to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, has required Activision-Blizzard to push back the release of the much anticipated time-shifting adventure game. Activision-Blizzard did not want its title to be outpaced by one of its own. Rightly so, considering its counterpart Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare has sold over 13 million units to date, and Singularity is a brand new IP. Rival publisher Electronic Arts saw something similar happen when it released both Mirror's Edge and Dead Space last holiday season alongside more popular IPs such as Call of Duty: World at War and Gears of War 2. Thus, Activision-Blizzard's sound reasoning to open the season up as much as possible for Modern Warfare 2.
Battlefield 1943 Server Troubles
The downloadable only/multiplayer only shooter is suffering server issues with matchmaking after launching this morning on XBL Arcade and will more than likely suffer similar issues tomorrow when it launches on the Playstation Network. The major issue arised because of the unanticipated demand for the game, and new people cannot join games unless someone signs off. Not to worry, Electronic Arts says that they are getting more servers up as we speak, and therefore will not be at capacity for much longer.
