PS3 needs tons of games to skyrocket. Tell me, where are those games? I mean which constant flow of games do you expect will make people go the way of PS3?
The ones I can think of, the ones that appeal to Japanese gamers are: WKC, Tekken 6, TLR, FFXIII, FFvsXIII, Yakuza 3, Naruto UNS, GT5, Rapture (SE MMORPG), RE5, Castlevania, Way of the Samurai 3, PES 09, Dinasty Warriors (the new game), ACFFVII Complete (Blu-Ray movie), Demon's Soul, Street Fighter 4, Silent Hill 5, Resistance 2, Bayonetta, Quantum Theory (Not sure about this one though) and stop looking because you won't find anything else. Most of these games have been in development for a long time, almost none is a recent announcement.
With those games, it may do decent next year, but don't expect an explosion, since the PS3 also needs small and niche titles to become popular in Japan.
One thing is true though, it's line up is better than both its competitors so far.
