I had a GameCube as my main console last gen. Sure, it was last in sales, often mocked by PS2/Xbox fanboys, pretty much everything the PS3 is facing. Yet, there were some solid exclusives that I wouldn't have given up for a different console. Eternal Darkness, Wind Waker, Resident Evil Remake, Resident Evil Zero were among the list of unique games that were excellent.
I did not, and do not, regret my purchase, as PS3 owners shouldn't. That said, you are going to have to accept that it is too late to make a recovery to regain ground. Great games will come to the PS3 as exclusives, but don't expect a major shift of fortune to come out of hardware sales due to them. Minus for FF13, most of the big guns are out on the PS3.
This doesn't mean that "Sony is doomed!!!", Sony has a ton of money, and while it sucks to lose a bunch, they'll lick their wounds and not be such an arrogant company next generation.
As for now, you Sony supporters will go through what GameCube owners went through last generation - a bunch of games that don't find their way to your system, developers snubbing their noses at your console. Just enjoy the games you do have and stop getting upset with it falling in last place in this gen's console sales. If you're happy with the games you have, that's all you need. |

I don't even think PS3 fanboys will go through that.. 3rd party developers havn't dropped the PS3.. the only exception would be Valve who just don't want to port it their games but are willing to let others do it for them.

Well, if you think back, it has already. Just for one example, Monster Hunter 3 was initially announced as a PS3 exclusive, now its going to the Wii. Fatal Frame games have traditionally made the Sony consoles its choice platform, have gone to the Wii. Add on Tenchu, which started on the PS (1 I think)? There are quite a few devs that changed direction away from the PS3 over the years, so there are in fact 3rd party devs that have canceled their PS3 projects. Its just the way things go. Its simple business/marketshare, you're going to lose some development interest if you're trailing behind in marketshare. Make note, this isn't to insult or diminish the PS3, it's just the way the industry travels. PS3 will still have solid games, like the GameCube did, it just won't have all of them.
