The presence of Devil May Cry, Resident Evil 5, GTA4 on Microsofts console makes it a lot more viable and can be considered a big blow for the PS3. I think most people already foreseen this considering the titles and companies involved. Devil May Cry 3, Resident Evil 4 as well as GTA3 were all released for the PC, also RE4 was on the GameCube, GTA3 was on the XBox. IMO no major shockers there. These are important games especially Grand Theft Auto 4, but IMO Gran Turismo 5, Final Fantasy XIII and Metal Gear Solid 4 is a much more powerful combination, all PS3 exclusives designed to get the most out of the platform (at least for the time being, adapting legacy game engines further or engines built from scratch for the system like the White Engine will evolve a lot further in the future). |
The thing is that in the previous generation Xbox didn't have most of these kind of games, while PS2 had everything. Now 360 has aquired a few of the most important, previously PS-exclusives games it will become harder and harder for Sony to convince costumers that the PS3 is a better buy than 360. Especially since the 360 is cheaper and has better online.
Sony's big 3 are absolutely big games, and probably will be of an extremely high quality, but more so: if they fail it's more or less over for Sony. Not in the way that they'll quit the PS3, but then they'll probably never catch up to the 360. These 3 games have to convince the costumer taht they're better than 360's big 3: Gears, Halo3 and Bioshock.
The big majority of PS2 owners hasn't switched and I think its totally undecided which console will benefit most, next to Wii, of these.
