Eidos won’t be releasing games till 2008
It seems that Eidos Interactive will not be releasing any of its big PlayStation 3 titles until next year. This is despite the successful launch of the PS3. The company feels that the console’s installed base is not high enough right now and that it is expecting the market to be saturated enough to release big name titles by the second half of 2008.
CEO Jane Cavanagh said, “We believe that PlayStation 3 will be a successful platform, and are developing technology and products for this console.” While these are encouraging words from the CEO about Sony‘s PS3, she also mentioned that they don’t believe that the “installed base will be high enough until the second half of our 2008 financial year” for them to release high profile games.
Eidos is credited for two chart-topping games in the UK (Just Cause and Battlestations Midway) during the second half of last year. But until next year, we should not expect any major games on the PS3 from Eidos. We just wonder how this is going to affect the PlayStation 3’s standing in the console wars.
