You still have yet to learn that a mega franchise isn't what kept Sony going all this time. It's always just been about qthe quantity of titles to play and the variety it brings. PS3 is no different and GT5 will be the icing on the cake, not the lacking, "mega-hit" after thought.

I dunno... variety was certainly instrumental in the rise of PS1, and PS2 maintaing that growth, but games Like Final Fantasy VII or Grand Theft Auto III were events in the history of the medium.  PS3 really hasn't had anything remotely similar to that, no singular killer app that really drives the platform and sets the tone for the generation, and at the same time we've seen PS3 fumble massively with the brand and legacy.  No single console has ever lost as much marketshare, userbase or money as PS3 has... if PS3 had a FFVII or GTA3 already, maybe things would've turned out differently?

Exactly! You also should realize that within a year of it's EMEAA and Americas launch, PS2 had GTA III, FF X, GT3, ICO, and Twisted Metal Black all exclusive. 3 killer games and two well received exclusives to boost. PS3 only had Resistance at launch, a couple underdeveloped low rated games as well (Liar, Heavenly Sword, etc), and in 2008 all it really got was Uncharted which really wasn't that spectacular. PS3 has it's share of great games, but nothing killer yet, and it hurts.


Uncharted is a November 2007 title. 2007 also saw games like Motorstorm, Warhawk, Heavenly Sword and Ratchet & Clank Future Tools of Destruction. All of them new franchises except for R&C of course. Uncharted Drake's Fortune not being spectacular is just your opinion, I could say the same about that franchise your avatar is about. I didn't see the big deal about Mass Effect after I finished the first game. I thought it was, how should I put it... underdeveloped...but hey, that's my take.

In year 2thousand and 8, the PlayStation 3 got Resistance 2, Little Big Planet, Valkyria Chronicles, a game called METAL GEAR SOLID 4, Motorstorm Pacific Rift, a demo called GRAN TURISMO 5 PROLOGUE, Singstar....

Get your facts straight.... and PlayStation's got its "share of games" ?  "nothing killer yet" ? What am I even discussing here with you when you showed your true colors the moment you started talking. Dude, you haven't played anything, you aren't even a gamer if you disregard the PS3 library like that. You are just a ...how should I put it...an underdeveloped and unenthusiastic fanatic. But there's a popular term for that too.
