Even Japanese Devs Wary of PS3

So what does the Japanese game developing community think of the PS3? The latest issue of Japan's Ge-Maga asked a number of questions; the polls are in. It's not looking too great.

• 90.29% of Japanese developers think the PS3 is too expensive. One developer: "It's more expensive than my rent."

• 56.31% hate Sony's two SKUs. "There are fears that confusion will develop amongst users and retailers."

• 55.82% don't think the launch title line-up will sell the system.

• 62.13% of all game devs think that the PS3 won't sell 6 million units by March, 2007. Um, yeah. No duh. That's because Sony's not going to be able to make that many.

I don't really mind continuing to beat up on Sony, but my fists, man, they're starting to get tired.
