Eidos has announced that they'll be holding off on releasing titles for the PS3 until the second half of next year, because they figure the console's user base won't be big enough to be worth the effort until then. Still, Eidos CEO Jane Cavanagh said that the company firmly believed that all three next-gen consoles would be successful, and that the future was looking pretty darn rosy:

Makes you all warm inside to hear such love of gaming, doesn't it? Brings a positive tear to my eye.
