    Capcom ditches PS3 for the Wii - Developers leaving Sony in droves

    Capcom has decided that the PS3 is too costly to develop for and decided to make the forthcoming Monster Hunter 3 a Nintendo Wii exclusive. Only a month after announcing that the company would be switching development work from the PS2 to the PS3, Forbes has reported that the company has decided the latest Sony machine is just not worth their while, and that the Wii offers a much more viable option for them.

    -- snip --

    Capcom's managing corporate officer Katsuhiko Ichii said yesterday:

    "Due to high development cost of titles for PS3, we have decided to switch the platform to which we release our Monster Hunter 3 title."


    A somewhat sensationalist headline, and take on the story, but the trend is there unless Sony can claw back some of the next-gen market dominated by the Wii and Xbox 360.
