Midway to support PS3 at launch, but not Xbox 360
"Time and installed base scupper X360 support; Zucker still bullish on full-year targets
David Zucker, CEO of resurgent publisher Midway Games, has revealed that the company's next-gen strategy includes releasing titles to support the launch of PlayStation 3, but not Microsoft's Xbox 360.
Speaking to TheStreet.com, Zucker said that Midway's intention for the moment is to balance current generation and next generation development - but that while 'we're certainly going to have games for the launch of the PS3, we don't have any games for the launch of the Xbox 360.'
Pressed on his reasoning, Zucker explained that it's a 'pretty small install base... To really maximise, to get the performance out of some of the games, it's going to take some time to do that. And we want to make sure we're launching high-quality titles.'"
