In an interview with Games Industry, Game Developer Conference organizer Jamil Moledina said many studios are holding back on starting PlayStation 3 games due to challenges when developing for the console's finicky Cell processor. "A lot of the developers I know are waiting out on the first round and focusing on handhelds; they're creating DS and PSP titles because that's actually a much simpler migration from the current-gen," he added.While it's normal for developers to wait and see how consumers respond to consoles before dumping money into a game, it's interesting to see PlayStation, which has traditionally been the king of third-party support, get the same treatment. But Moledina ultimately believes developers will catch on, and the PS3 will be a success despite what he calls a PlayStation 2 like launch (not so good but look how that turned out). Smoke if you got 'em.
[Update: Sorry for the duplicate entry of my comrade James's key post. Hopefully the slight difference of perspective between "unable" and "waiting" warrants its existence. Thanks, Joystiqers!]
