"PS3 did not make a good start, which will make the transition from the old game console to the next generation system more prolonged than we had earlier thought," Takasu said.
"This will keep a lid on sales of our video games in the first half, although we believe that sales of PS3 will increase in the second half (to March 2008)," he said.
Namco Bandai said it has sold only 300,000 copies of the "Gundam Muso" game, which were released exclusively for PS3, far lower than its initial plan to sell at least 500,000 copies.
Because of sluggish sales, Namco Bandai plans to release only 23 titles for PS3 in the current fiscal year, compared to 24 games to be sold to Microsoft Corp's Xbox360 and 37 titles to be released for Nintendo Co Ltd's Wii console.

Less games than wii is ok. But less games than X360 is a bad sign.
