Of course, there obviously are people that see enough value in PS3 to warrant a purchase, but the real problem is, that the value isn't measured by how much the hardware in the package is worth, but the appealing software available. The hardware just don't have any value without the use. |
I think the PS3 has caught up pretty comparably to the Xbox 360 in terms of library IMHO. It has quite a varied library of quality titles. No need to even list most of them to be honest. The problem is that while the hardware is valued more by the consumer the games to play on it are viewed as comparable. So what ends up happening is the PS3 still gets it's fair share of sales based on the value of the system alone and all the hardware packed into it.
But it still is on the outside looking in to some extent because (At this juncture) the higher price is getting you essentially a comparable library of games with a system $200 cheaper. Guess what most 'bottomline shoppers' opt for?
While I do believe the PS3 will have more big titles coming out in the near future (More than the 360). (GoW3/GT5 specifically). I also think that with all the first party studios that Sony has, it has the potential to keep developing an ever expanding exclusive library. Where as with the high development costs, both companies will be harder pressed to keep third party developers making exclusive games for them. Which actually plays more into Sony's hand IMO.
