Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has said he believes Sony got the price of PlayStation 3 right at launch - but warned a cut will be necessary if the company wants to attract more consumers.
Speaking in an interview with GamesIndustry.biz Guillemot said, "Everybody has to remember that volumes are very dependent on price. I know the platform holders all know that, so now we have to wait for them to see when they want to achieve those numbers."
He went on to observe that PS3 enjoyed "a great launch", stating, "[Sony has] sold a machine that is actually expensive to build at the right price for consumers. It's just that if we want more consumers, we'll have to have a price that will make more people come in."
Last month, Guillemot hit the headlines for calling on Sony to drop the price of PS3 "quite significantly".
He explained to GI.biz, "I was just saying that in the last generation, we had machines that were at a lower price and they were selling more.
"It's just something to consider for all the manufacturers, that the price of the machine has a huge impact on the number of machines sold."
For more from Guillemot, including his thoughts on supporting the Wii, the decline of E3 and why it's a good time to be a third-party publisher, read the full interview.

Sony technical officers Izumi Kawanishi and Kanehide believe there's room for 30 to 40 per cent more improvement in the PS3 as an audio-visual piece of kit via future firmware updates.
The pair also remained confident that this wouldn't have an adverse effect on fan noise, even hinting at the possibility of a fan-less model somewhere down the line - similar to the PS2.
"So far, we are not worried too much since we have plenty of processing power left even at peak usage," AV development boss Kanehide told AV Watch.
Platform development boss Kawanishi agreed: "Nothing yet comes close to the load that Folding@Home applies. And I can see the possibility of a fan-less PS3 in the future, just like there was for the PS2."
The most recent firmware update for PS3 was version 1.8, which added support for PS1 and PS2 games to be upscaled to full 1080p. DVD playback at the same resolution was also featured, but only with an HDMI-compatible television.
It also introduced remote-play, allowing users to control the PS3 with the PSP.
And according to Kawanishi, the technology to control games using a PSP is already available - it's just a case of if the developer wants to include it. He also mused that turning a PS3 on using a PSP remotely could be on the horizon.
But the pair concluded that the future of firmware updates would depend on what consumers wanted, as listening to the community is a key area for them.
"The scary thing about the PS3 is that we can continue to add updates as long as there is space on the HDD," concluded Kawanishi. "We won't stop though, since adding new functionality is a lot of fun. We really enjoy getting feedback from the customers, and finding things we really hadn't thought of."

Late last year, Gran Turismo designer Kazunori Yamauchi told fans that the next installment in his popular driving simulation series would reflect a change in the franchise's core principles and become "a fully realized online car life simulation."
While it might not be one of the "core principles" Yamauchi referred to last year, the designer did confirm one change in store for the next Gran Turismo in a recent Polyphony Digital profile by French motorsports program Turbo. For the first time in a Gran Turismo game, players will be able to select an inside-the-car viewpoint with the steering wheel and dashboard visible.
"To translate the real car into 3D, we use data and assets provided by the car manufacturers, but we also use a scanner that completely digitizes a car," Yamauchi told the show. "Here's a scoop: We're also modeling the dashboards because you can drive from the interior view in the upcoming Gran Turismo 5."
When asked about the Gran Turismo five in-car views and recent rumors of downloadable content for Gran Turismo HD for the PlayStation 3, a Sony representative told GameSpot, "We haven't made any recent announcements on the GT franchise."

The time for monkey business has arrived, as D3Publisher of America, Inc. (D3PA) announced today that The Adventures of Darwin™ is shipping to retail stores across North America exclusively for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system from Sony at an SRP of $19.95. In The Adventures of Darwin, players take on the leadership role in a group of primitive, yet promising, primates. The game follows the evolution of group leader Darwin the monkey and his adorable companions as they grow from a small assembly of simple primates to a powerful, intelligent colony of human cavemen. This process is prompted as players learn about and interact with the vast prehistoric world around them. If gamers want to survive life in the hostile world, they must evolve!
“Just as Darwin does in the game, the PlayStation 2 market is evolving--it’s now ready to accommodate more games like The Adventures of Darwin that appeal to family-friendly audiences,” said Sam Guilloud, brand manager, D3PA. “With such a large and loyal install base of over 38 million in the US (Source NPD), this is the perfect time in the PlayStation 2’s life cycle to release such a unique title.”
The Adventures of Darwin utilizes innovative real-time strategy elements and a first-hand evolutionary gaming experience. Commanding up to 30 primates, gamers assign a variety of tasks to their primate companions and make real-time decisions to increase the chances for survival of the fittest. Tribe members become more intelligent as they evolve, improving survival skills and verbal communication as the level of civilization advances. The richly colored world is beautiful but dangerous, filled with lush jungles, volatile volcanoes, dark caverns and raging rapids. The group hunts wooly mammoths, saber-toothed tigers, ferocious dinosaurs and other foes for the safety and benefit of the village. Players can lead their tribe on adventures, teach them to hunt, collect raw materials to build with and use as tools and weapons, and encourage the use of increasingly civilized language. The weapons arsenal will advance as the village and its members progress. Players of The Adventures of Darwin will find out if they are capable of becoming a leader of evolution, or if they are doomed to a life of monkey business!
The Adventures of Darwin was developed by Vingt-et-un-Systems Corporation and is rated “E 10+” (“Everyone 10 and older”) by the ESRB.

It's that time again. Time to look over the coming week's offerings and either laugh or cry. Or both. The releases for this week are as follows.
US Games
EU Games
Asian Games
Interesting stuff. The Japanese have had two potentially excellent games released in the last two weeks. While we know that Ninja Gaiden Sigma includes English text and voices, we're not yet certain about FolksSoul. We have our suspicions and will keep you informed as soon as we find out.
Don't forget, your PS3 just loves playing games from any country. Seriously. Loves it. So if there's something on the list you fancy, then don't be put off by its region. Release dates are in a constant flux, so be sure to call ahead before wasting a trip to the shops.

News/release from Carlos Eduardo :
About 3 weeks ago, I got a Sony PSP, since only playing games isnt enought for me, I started fiddling around for so called "Homebrew" software for it.
The homebrew community for PSP is quite big and mostly around C coding but surprisingly I found that a guy named Jerome made Python-psp, awesome port of Python 2.4.3 and PSP graphic, sound and network API to Python modules.
Based on that and my bare knowledge of C, I decided to start working on a Stackless Python port for it.
I recently saw the great work from Richard Tew in porting Stackless to Nintendo DS and decided to give a try. Checked out the 2.4.3 PSP port from python-psp repository and merged the Stackless 2.4.4 tag into it.
The first thing to be done, was fixing up some conflicts mostly related to IO and threads. Next Richard pointed me out that the Stackless needs to save and restore stack pointers and this is done in assembly.
Based on trial and error, it took me a day to figure out and have a compiled interpreter.
To finish it all, I ran the stackless unittests and some Stackless applications from the Stackless Examples Project and found that its all working.
I hope other people could try it out and maybe find some bugs, probably I will make the source available and the diff patches too.
The next thing in my roadmap is porting Python and Stackless Python 2.5.1 to PSP, hope it wont be much trouble.
To install just create a folder in your /PSP/GAME150 folder and place the EBOOT.PBP there.
The python folder is the libraries and must be placed on your memory stick root.
