So you're saying the only exclusives released this fall are Uncharted 2 and Rachet & Clank ?

How about Demon's Souls and the God of War Collection, they're being talked about quite a bit, and then there's like, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, I'd be suprised if it moves ANY consoles since they seem to sell so bad, but hey, it convinced my mate to buy a PS3 Slim... and then how about Wipeout HD Fury on Bluray, my mate didn't believe me it was being released on bluray since he's a Wipeout fanatic, and never had a PS3, and he hates downloading games, and he's buying one this weekend with his paycheck, lol o.O
Then there's also EyePet, it's definitely got the marketing since I see it on every bloody channel I watch, and I'm sure it'll attract people to play it, not sure who, but people will, lol.

And then as other people have said, the older exclusives are cheap now, they just need more advertising on the bigger ones, like LittleBigPlanet for a start, Sackboy is like the mascot of PS3, and I think he deserves alot more attention than he's had...

So if you ask me, the PS3 is doing fine in terms of sales, and the big hitters next year will see them rocket again !

sorry i forgot Demon Soul but its not a main stream hit.. it is more of surprise hit...

Just think if Sony had Heavy Rain for September

Uncharted 2 plus R&C for October

God of War 3 for November

GT5 in December in EU & FFXIII in Japan in December.. than that could have been an awesome Holidays with the price cut n Slim.. we would have seen some huge numbers then.

 

 

 

That would have been too much. Sony learned that lesson already, see Holiday 2008. If Resistance 2, LBP and Motorstorm: Pacific Rift was too packed, imagine what Uncharted 2, GT5, GOWIII, FFXIII (Japan), Demon's Souls, HEAVY RAIN, and R&C would have been like this year. Too packed...

 

Forgive me if i'm wrong but a comment like "I think Sony learned that lesson already, see Holiday 2008" is completetely wrong. Sony have been in this business for 15 years now and had pretty much a majority of the marketshare within that timeframe. If they hadn't learnt the lesson more than 10 years ago they won't now.
