God of War 3 -> Rip their head off.

Gears of War 2 -> Cut them into pieces.

Since Gears is probably > God of War, its Sony who needs a better answer.

lol, well, GeoW and GoW are two completely different genres.

As far as that goes, going by the ideology of this thread(which I don't prescribe to), Sony has absolutely no answer for Gears of War unless you call it Uncharted, and if you did...then yes, judging by sales and reviews, Sony needs a much better answer than that. Same could be said for Killzone 2 and Halo 3 though.

I disagree. Lower sales most likely mean that there's simply less people want a TPS on the PS3. Other reasons may include a game's poor quality, bad marketing, or stiff inner competition (e.g. MAG released near MW2). I don't think Uncharted suffered from poor quality, bad marketing, or stiff inner competition (at a time when the PS3 had a very small portfolio of titles).

The only thing Sony needs to do in providing an answer is giving people an option. By releasing a major game for each genre, Sony satisfies fans of each respective genre and don't leave them hanging. Lacking an answer to a genre alientates those people and make them go to the console that is dominant in that genre (e.g. JRPGs on the 360).

Sony has released Uncharted, and soon Uncharted 2, giving TPS fans an excelent game to enjoy.
