Sony puts a halt on some sports-titles !

Reuters is reporting that Sony has officially announced the cancellation of certain Sportstitles that were in production. With this move, they are following in Microsofts footsteps who cancelled a couple of their sports-titles some weeks ago.
Sony Computer Entertainment of America said its 989 Sports label would not release the professional or collegiate versions of its football and basketball games for the 2004-2005 season.

A spokesman said the company intends to bring the football and basketball games back in 2005, taking the interim time to work on game development and make the titles more competitive.
