Although the predecessor of the PS3 was a dominant force in the console gaming market, its no secret that the PS3 has had a hard time moving units. It wasn't until it slashed the prices on its console that it saw successful sales numbers. In fact, in the week beginning November 5, Sony actually outsold this generation's juggernaut, the Nintendo Wii by some 20,000 units.
With lowering the price of the developer's kit for the PS3, Sony now hopes to expand on its library of games by hoping third-party developers will have an easier time making quality titles for their flagship console.
