Sony Cuts Cost of Development Kits

Sony Cuts Cost of Development Kits

None

In the hopes of increasing console sales, Sony has been cutting prices for their PlayStation 3.  Now, in addition to decreasing the cost of the console, Sony is also cutting the cost of the software development kit, making it more accessible for developers.

Sony has revealed that the price for the development kit will be reduced to $10,250 in North America, 950,000 yen ($8,600) in Japan and 7,500 euros ($11,250) in Europe.

With PlayStation 3 sales increasing since the price cut, Sony is obviously hoping to lure more developers to create games for them.  The combination of better market penetration and decreased cost in development kits will make Sony more attractive for developers, which may ultimately bring more games to their console.
