If there's no PS3s in Europe and the ones in the US and Japan haven't sold many yet, it's just common sense that PS3 publishers would want to delay their games as long as possible. They'll make more money that way.

shame, i thought Fatal Inertia might be on of the next games i would pick-up for my new shiney box.

Now if only Sony made an announcement about Wipeout for PS3, then we could all ignore this and start salivating.

Bladestorm looks too much like a Kingdom Under Fire/Kessen title. I'm far more looking forward to Omega Force's Gundam Musou :)

Whoa!! Wipeout was on the N64.... I thought that was F-Zero X?

It was probably while Liverpool Studio's was psynogsis back in the day before the buyout.

2097 was and is the best version of Wipeout.

I clocked Pure and Fusion 100% and although both are ok they were lacking a certain something. I didn't enjoy them that much is what I guess I am trying to say.

As much as I prefer Nintendo over Sony, I have to say Wipeout was one game I adored, and I prefer it to the masses favourite (F-Zero). Just feels better and not all "phat ships on an abitrarily twisting track". Not that even that and a great GT/FF would convince me to buy a ps3.

Exactly. A shiny next gen title is mighty expensive, and current PS3 software sales number are... let's not go there, but as a developer you want to at least have the money back the title cost you.

300000 titles sold through at 49.95$ to break even was something that recently made the rounds for a next gen title. To get there after launch (where you might get lucky because of less competition from other titles), is certainly no cakewalk.

Well, this is just the danger of low sales at launch: publishers desert the platform because they can't sell enough to make a profit, which makes even fewer people buy the console, which makes even more publishers desert you.

Imagine how much more quickly the GameCube would have sunk if it hadn't been manufactured by one of the largest game publishers in the world.

Yeah, Sony's Liverpool studio is where Wipeout lives now.
