THe PS3, though pretty, has nothing this holiday season, no MGS4, no GTA4, there are no HUGE names for PS3, thats the facts.

they dont need established franchises to make sales. New titles are always a good thing. Uncharted is a great example because its made by Naughty Dog which means it will be good, they never have made a unsuccessful franchise.


Clearly Sony does need established franchises to make sales. These new IPs are not pushing hardware sales.


 how can they push sales when

1. they havent been released

2. they havent been reviewed

3. they havent been released 

4. Ratchet & Clank is coming out and thats an established franchise. 


1. The catch with ND is that it has also never released a new franchise on a system that is struggling. Crash and J&D both came out at a time when the PS1 and PS2 were doing very well.

2. Going by the Wiki sales, only the first R&C  broke 1 million sales, and just barely (1.1) on a system with a user base around 100 million people. While I assume the new R&C will have a better attatch rate than 1%, it is going to have to get brilliant reviews to convince anyone to actually buy a PS3 for it, and with Mario Galaxy as competition, that will be difficult.
