Ports of 360 games.
I was thinking about buying a PS3. It's a seriously tasty looking piece of kit - but I already own a 360 and a Wii so in all honesty it's a really hard purchase to justify.
I understand that the PS3 is more powerful (by how much I'm not sure) than the 360 but if games are made to cater for the lowest common denominator (as cross-platform games invariably are) then this advantage is lost.
Unless some truly outstanding games are released that show the USP of the PS3 over the 360 then I fear that people will generally plump for the more affordable option - why pay extra when you can get pretty much the same games line up - of the same quality on a cheaper machine?
PS3 seriously needs some AAA exclusives but with their market share the way it is it's hard to see where these are going to come from. It's not like they have the 1st party muscle of Nintendo.
Not trying to flame the PS3 here, it's a great looking machine and if it and the 360 were both launched tomorrow I'd choose the PS3. I just feel that the fates have conspired against Sony this time and it's hard to see how they're going to come back from the position they're in.
1st post BTW. Hello all :)
