Two games are never enough to save a system. That´s it.
Look at Nintendos N64, they had Super Mario 64 at launch, maybe the best 3D game ever created at that time. Later there was Zelda: Ocarina of Time, one of the best videogames ever created and the most successful game in the Zelda series.
They had Golden Eye, Banjo Kazooie, another Zelda title, their Mario franchise etc. but it didn´t help the N64 in the end. And all of those tiltes were expected to sell just as much as FF13 and Metal Gear Solid are expected to sell now.
So: no, 2 games are not enough. There are less Killer apps on the PS3 than there were on Gamecube and the Gamecube was much cheaper than the PS3.
And don´t forget: The Wii will be getting the big 3rd party titles in 2008. It´s not the way the Sony fans want it, it is not the Wii will all of a sudden stop getting any games just to help the PS3.
Fact is: The Wii will be number 1 platform for 3rd parties in 2008 and the PS3 will have exactly 2 killer apps in a whole year and lots of multiplatform releases.
Sony can just hope the 360 won´t pick up more in Japan because if that happens, titles like Resident Evil 5, Devil may cry, etc. won´t be "japan exclusive" PS3 games anymore and will sell just as much 360´s as PS3´s.
