Although THQ and Sega are currently being praised for their quick embracing of the Wii, you won't see similar praise being leveled at them for their PS3 support. Not because the flesh isn't willing: oh, it is! But Sony's ability to provide PS3 dev kits? Exceedingly weak.

So weak, in fact, that Sega's Simon Jeffrey claims that there will not be very many titles available at the PS3 launch. That's okay — there won't be many consoles either! But the dev kit shortage has also caused THQ to cancel The Sopranos for the PS3... at least for the time being. God knows the PS3 doesn't need a title based on one of television's hottest properties for launch.

It won't be all bleak, though. EA and Activision have their dev kits, and it looks like there'll be fifteen titles available at the PS3 launch. But it's starting to get depressing reporting failure after failure in regards to Sony's handling of the PS3 launch. - Florian Eckhardt
