Exactly what is weak about the catalog though? I see sales potential from the already announced games, and the speculative games like Forza 3 which may or may not be real. Ultimately it's sales that will decide what made customers go out to buy consoles, and Halo 3: ODST has more of a chance of doing that than any PS3 title I know of coming out in 2009 does. Granted, this is under the assumption that GT5 doesn't release this year, otherwise my opinion flips. We can go on all day about Heavy Rain and Infamous but those are likely to be non-factors, same as Valkyria Chronicles, Motorstorm 2 and SOCOM: Confrontation were. Good games that look good when compiling a list of titles, but ultimately matter not in the big scheme of things.
I also have something to add that might be telling. Sony is publishing two sequels this year to two previous titles from that much sadder time in 2007, which are Uncharted 2 and Ratchet and Clank: Crack in Time. Normal trends show that comparable sales should be evident, however, the two other Sony published titles from early on in the lifespan, Motorstorm and Resistance both had sequels that tanked hard in comparison. It's possible we may see a repeat of that.

hmmm? i bolded

You've bolded many things that have many different meanings and some of what you've bolded has absolutely no meaning becuase you've left out key words of what I was talking about. What exactly do you not understand about them? A lot of what you've seemed to bold are things I'm speculating about, and you seem to be condencing some of my sentences to rephrase them in ways I didn't mean. I'm making educated guesses based on what I know and what I believe will take place over the next few months passing e3.
