While 'Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe' was
not exactly a bad game, many fans were miffed over the fact that the franchise's trademark fatalities were severely
toned down to fit with the DC license. However, the game
sold rather well, and while it was already revealed quite a while ago that a new MK title is in development, its future is somewhat uncertain because of
Midway's state of affairs. Nonetheless, creator
Ed Boon revealed that work on Mortal Kombat 9 is proceeding and that a recent motion capture session promises to bring the series back to its M-rated roots with "sick" fatalities.

Activision CEO Bobby Kontick has been calling for Sony to drop the retail price on its PS3 console for quite a while now. He was hoping that a lower-priced model would be introduced at E3, which did not happen. Valve has been claiming it won't support the PS3 because it is too difficult to develop on, while various others have claimed it requires the biggest budget out of the 3 current-gen consoles. Kontick has now made the
bold statement that if Sony does not cut the price, the attach rate will drop further, which might eventually cause Activision to drop PS3/PSP support by 2010/11.
