Hi, VGCHARTZ, sorry for the english but i'm italian.
Yes,i'm a little positive for PS3 future, in my opinion PS3 had an early release, 2007 was a mediocre year for the PS3, but 2008 was very good, but 2009 looking awesome, finally PS3 has a complete line up this year, FPS,TPS,Adventure,Platform(Ratchet or Ape Escape 4?), JRPG and Action.
Sales are ok, but with a price cut for west and a solid line up for japan sales will be strong, PS3 cycle life reminds me PS1.
