Crunch time for the PS3

I know you are talking about for the remainder of this year, but isn't Haze and GT Prologue still coming out this year?
regardless,
You act as if the PS3 has weaker remaining exclusives than Microsoft does.

I believe this "crunch time" only 1 year into the PS3's life cycle does not exist.
A little premature in my opinion.

You are right about 1 thing though- It is almost Christmas time.
So to you, (shams) I say --------- have a Merry Christmas

Firstly - read my opening post.

At the very bottom...

"(NOTE - I am *not* saying the PS3 is dead. All this analysis related to THIS Xmas only. What happens next year at this stage is anyone's guess...) "

Now that that's out of the way...

...

Prologue has been delayed to Q1 '08.

Haze (to my knowledge) is not an exclusive - and I'm not sure if its hitting this year anymore. The PS3 has plenty of great games hitting over the remainder of this year - but not many exclusives.

...

Secondly, we could start any entire thread about what happens to the PS3 next year - if it doesn't do great this Xmas. Its too far in the future for me to think about now - what happens now is much more interesting.
