360-gamer is reporting that Namco Bandai is publishing more titles for the Wii and 360 than the PS3 do to sluggish PS3 sales:
In a statement released today, Namco revealed that it intended to publish 37 games for the Wii, 24 for the 360 but only 23 for the PS3 during the course of the next financial year – something that’s unlikely to please Sony.
The reason for this? Despite being one of the most loyal supporters of both the PlayStation and PS2, the slow sales of the PS3 have taken their toll on Namco’s own PS3 range, with games such as Gundam falling short of the half a million sales Namco had targetted.
Nevertheless, it’s still quite a kick in the teeth for Sony. While the fact Namco is getting behind the Wii is no real surprise – it has been flying off the shelves, after all – the fact the 360, a console with no real presence in Namco’s native Japan, will be receiving more games this year than the PS3 will be a bit of a shock.
