The Playstation 3 is a great system. I believe that it will defeat the Xbox 360, in time to come, for it has greater potential than any other console in the world. Whether or not it is using its full potential is debatable, but as it stands, the Playstation 3 is worth the cost. Its Bluray player is spectacular, and exceeds that of HD DVD. It has a great selection of first party titles, now, and soon to come. However, one thing dissapoints me about Sony. The Playstation 3 is losing its exclusives to the Wii, Xbox 360, and even the Playstation 2.
Why are so many games being released on the Wii, Xbox 360, and Playstation 2, but not the Playstation 3? Sony created the Playstation 3, do they not want any games for it? Sony is getting insulted by its rivals, and itself, for even the Playstation 2 is stealing some of its exclusives. It's as if Sony themselves want the Playstation 3 to die, and the Playstation 2 to live. Could you imagine if the Playstation 2 outlives the Playstation 3, much like the Atari 2600 outlived the Atari 5200?
For example, Crash of the Titans, Crash Bandicoot's newest game, which I personally think is horrible, based on what I have seen so far, is being released on the Wii, Xbox 360, Playstation 2, and a few other platforms, except for the Playstation 3. Okay, why isn't the game being released for the Playstation 3? Crash Bandicoot grew up on the Playstation, and now Radical Entertainment, the company that made the game, don't even have the respect to release the game on the Playstation 3, but they will release it on the Playstation 2, and Sony's rivals? I just used Crash of the Titans as an example, but there are many other games that are being released on Sony's rivals, and the Playstation 2, in favor of the Playstation 3.
What is going on here? Either the Playstation 3's exclusives are shared with others, or are just stolen all together. What happened to Sony's awesome third party support? It seems that the Wii in this generation, is the Playstation 2 of last generation, or perhaps even greater. I know that Sony can do better than this. The Playstation 3 is a good system, but it's losing its identity by the fact that it is losing its exclusives!
