| Famine said: If Sony can make sure for certain that their big guns all release in 2008, then I have reason to believe that PS3 could make a few heads turn. It's an impressive lineup:
I don't know if you guys thought the PS3 would cut the price of the PS3, but needless to say, a year after its release and there is a $200 cheaper PS3 on the market. I just wonder if Sony will feel "froggy" and decide to jump on the next price cut. Still, I think '08 will still be all about the Wii, but I think it may be close next year. |
All of these, except perhaps Final Fantasy, were touted by most of the Sony faithful as why the PS3 would be great in 2007. What makes you think 2008 will be so different. I'd say it's generally accepted that Final Fantasy isn't a 2008 title.
I'm hoping to get a PS3 in 2008 myself. The things stopping me right now are:
(1) No PS2 BC on the $400 model.
(2) $400 is a pretty high price -- the system needs more games that I really want before I'll pay that much (it has 2 or 3 now).
(3) There are tons of good DS and Wii games that I are keeping me very busy. This makes it harder to justify buying a PS3 in my own mind.
I'm particularly interested in seeing how the big well-known exclusive franchises do on the PS3. R&C did terrible, but it didn't bomb as badly as Uncharted. It seems like the more well known ones will do better. How much better? Will MGS 4 break a million units world wide in its launch week?
