Big-time game developers favor Nintendo over Sony

Japanese business website Nikkei announced that big-name third party publishers are now shifting from Sony to Nintendo Company Ltd.

While Nikkei emphasized that the companies did not abandon Sony since most are still developing high-profile games for the PlayStation 3 and the PSP, the fact that they are churning out more and more Nintendo has become noticeable.

The business website reported that game publishers such as Namco Bandai and SEGA have more games for the Nintendo DS and Wii slated for the fiscal year 2007, which is double in number compared to the last fiscal year.

While things may look bleak for Sony at first glance, there’s no telling what will happen in the future once developers find more and more ways of using the PS3’s powerful hardware. We may even witness a quick reversal of fortune in the near future, Nikkei said.
