All the third party developers are finding themselves in hot water after looking the sales of PS3 across the region in US as well as in homeland Japan that can be illustrated from the statements made on the part of Namco Bandai's boss Takeo Takasu who says they have to sell approximately 500,000 units of each title to bag some profit.

He informed that it brings an $8.6 million of expenditure to make average PS3 console. Moreover he informed that they have already released two titles for PS3 which are available for access in both the nations Japan and US; Ridge Racer 7 and Gundam that are doing pretty nice job in cooperation with the PS3 console.

Now the third party developer Namco is partly or fully reliant on the gamer's attribution. Namco has released just ten titles for both PS3 ands Xbxo360 while Wii is surrounding around 30 titles form the same manufacturer. Wii with 30 titles would be making certainly a good business to Namco because Wii is selling like a hot cake as it has sold out more than 600,000 consoles in just eight days.

Namco is hoping the analogous performance from PS3 so that it could make some profit on PS3 titles too.
