Why Sun should make a PS3 JVM

I’d love a proper PS3 JVM (and OpenGL & OpenAL APIs…) because then I’d get my games onto PS3 finally, and actually make some money. As it happens instead I’m having them all ported over to C# they’re going on XBox instead. What a shame.

I agree with you. I would prefer an free open source JVM but if you could have at least a JVM with a non free of charge license, it would be better than nothing.

It’s usually non-negotiable. It’d have to be a very, very, major game.

I think you underestimate the extent to which Sony and MS are out to get each other at the moment :). I’d say all bets are off. Come up with something that would make PSN stand out over XBLA, and you could be on to a winner. I’d say vice versa too, but I suspect you’d have a substantially harder time getting MS to let you put java on an XB :).

I agree with you but who could then convince Sony to invest time and money in a PS3 JVM? Who is able to come up with something that would make PSN stand out over XBLA???
