Yes, and it's been making me sick for 1.5 years, so I guess a generic "fanboys make me sick" comment here would be moot.

Instead I will say that everything stated in the OP was stated better in the years previous "2008 will be the year of the PS3" thread.

We all saw how that turned out for Sony, didn't we. At least we got the best Sony game last year on the PS2, so we didn't have to actually upgrade.

I mean, if Persona 4 was on the PS3...sadly, I'm not sure how much pull LBP was ever gonna have with my crowd.

 

The fact of the matter is, some Sony fan is gonna say that whatever year it currently happens to be, absolutely will be the year of the PS3, because of a bunch of new games coming out.

Please. Most of those games are vastly overplayed as it stands, and frankly, there comes a time when the general public just makes up their minds about something, and no matter what you do, you'll never be able to change that perception. RE4, afterall, was late in the gamecubes lifecycle. Pretending that "lineups" matter at this late date is amazingly short sighted. Marquee games have been released, with the exception of maybe a GT and a Zelda hitting late in the cycle, and by then you're just dusting up loyalists.

It's not too late for Sony, but it soon will be. They need some headway behind this pricecut, and they need to be 299 by next holiday season or you can forget the dream.

NO NO, NO NO NO.
