Yes, but the PS3 really is settling for small victories. They came into this gen with by-far, the strongest brand name and the most 3rd party support. Now they are struggling to beat the 360, and actually have arguably worse 3rd party support than Microsoft's console. Also, the PS3 is not gonna suddenly take off with the 3rd parties. Most 3rd party games this gen will come to both consoles, and PS360 exclusives outside of 2nd and 1st party games will be few and far between. Also, software and attach rates are still years off of catching the Xbox 360, if ever, and you can forget about the Wii. What about next gen? Sony'll be coming off the PS3 instead of the PS2. A significantly less popular console. While Microsoft and Nintendo will be coming off their most popular consoles ever, and the Xbox won't have the RRoD issue to stunt its longterm growth. If Microsoft keeps agressively spending money, it's not out of the question that they could eventually score some very important 3rd party games as exclusives. Something Sony admittedly refuses to do. Two years ago, nobody thought Sony would be in the relatively terrible position they are in now. Certainly it's getting better, but they had a long fall, and while celebrating the long climb back up, every step of the way, is admirable, let's make sure you don't lose site of exactly what you're celebrating, which is afterall, not coming in dead last in at least one measure of console success. Hardware sales. Hip-hip hurray. Now make that into a fanboy video, because it's more fair to the competition than this crap is. |
Software attach rates are still years off of catching the Xbox 360? Check the latest NPD SW sales of SCIV and NCAA, clearly PS3 have much better attach rates lately.
