Agree with post above me. HOWEVER I do think TLOU will actually release 2013 as its a new IP and I can fully respect ND pulling a Epic on Gears 3 by polishing it even further. Not to mention 2012 is insane already. My fanboy meter after this year.. I need a break! XD |
Sony is going to need more than what they have if they intend on squeezing another 15 million (I would like to see them hit higher than 15 million) in a third consecutive fiscal year.
StarHawk, The Last Guardian and Twisted Metal will not push hardware. There might be a blip on the radar, but nothing that will sustain hardware sells.
There won't be a KillZone, LittleBigPlanet or Uncharted. So releasing a game like The Last of Us in 2011 becomes much more needed.
Plus there won't be a Ratchet or Resistance coming either.
When God of War IV gets announced that will help bolster the PS3, but won't be enough to launch PS3 numbers high enough.
Titles like Metal Gear Rising: Revengenence and Final Fantasy XIII-2 will help out overall, but again nothing that will be major. A game like Final Fantasy Versus XIII (I hope it gets a new name) would make a big splash, but it doesn't look like it will ever get the main focus of Square-Enix (unless Sony steps in to assist in development or throw funds at the game).

Good post. SONY could really do with some heavy marketting, and none of this hardcore Kevin Butler crap, it needs to be straight to the point.

They need to keep Kevin Butler around doing hardcore commericals, but they need a "shocking" campaign for next year. If they can create that with Kevin Butler that would be awesome, but it needs to be fresh. I like the Long Live Play/Hall of Play campaign.
Outside of that, games themselves are the best way to market a console. StarHawk and Twisted Metal will help (Starhawk being new and Twisted Metal with the re-launching of that series) with bringing fresh content to the system, but The Last of Us will do more. God of War IV will just be a major title to have. Along with Versus XIII could give the PS3 a great boost.
Two more factors that WILL work against the PS3. Vita and Wii U.
