And more importantly they were going to be the system sellers that reversed the PS3's fortunes. In that regard, they failed. The PS3 has pulled out of it's tailspin only due to it's price cuts. It does not yet have that killer app to persuade gamers that now is the time to open their wallets. The 360 had it with Halo 3. Wii had it with, amazingly enough, WiiSports (hard to say the effect of Mario Galaxy or other games given that the console's demand hasn't noticably fluctuated since launch). GTA4 might do it for the PS3, assuming that PS2 owners won't know or care that it'll be on the 360, or that the 360 will have extra content. |

Okay so we already know playing catch up is hard. I can hope for the ps3 to have success but who knows what the future holds? It can only do three things. Get worse, stay the same or get better.

I understand what you're saying. I guess some people need some killer application to buy but I just play games I like. Before I bought a ps3 I didn't even know about heavenly sword and resistance. I just got it because I kept thinking my ps2 was going to stop working any day now. Anyway I don't understand the attack on the price cut. Isn't that what people wanted? Shouldn't they have cut it to sell more? I can agree with you ps3 haters that we can't say every great game will sell millions because with all these consoles sold I really have no idea what my fellow owners are buying. But I do believe that by the end of 2008 if the ps3 owners numbers are up to like 17million games that you see sell 500,000 copies in three months will probably jump to 1 milllion in 3 months.
