Speaking to the gaming blog Kotaku, SNK Playmore overseas marketing manger Yoshihito Koyama said: “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.“
The company views the platform as such a risk it is prepared to wait until there is a larger install base to sell to.
“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,” said Koyama.
Despite a frosty reception to the PS3, support for the Wii has already been announced in the shape of Metal Slug trilogy, and back in June Ignition announced it had extended its publishing agreement with SNK Playmore to include current and next-gen titles – although platform specific information was not revealed.
