I wonder if this is an example (along with MGS4) of the few remaining PS3 3rd party exclusives being delayed simply to wait for a bigger install base. Of course the install base won't grow significantly without excellent games like that and excellent games like that won't be released until the install base grows significantly. The classic feedback loop of the console spiral of death.

Did you miss the Sony Gamers Day coverage?  The excellent games are coming. 

It's the same situation for the Wii right now.  There are 2 excellent Gamecube...oops...Wii games out right now.  The big Wii games are coming later in the year.  Obviously, no one seems to care because of the novel control scheme, but the criticisms of the PS3 not having games is a bit hypocritical if you're a Wii fan. 


Come on windbane, don't make it so easy.  Calm down and think a little before replying, I said 3rd party (though I also meant huge budget but didn't say that).  Most of what I heard from gamers day were 1st or 2nd party (Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, Lair, Warhawk, LBP, Ratchet).  Of course those games will come hell or high water, Sony is paying for them.  The rest, like the new Turok game!?, aren't as big budget wise and if they arne't on the 360 yet they will be soon.  I may be missing a game or 2, but except for a few major franchises (like FF and MGS) they won't be as big a deal either way.

I didn't claim any system has an awesome lineup of great games 6 months after launch, nor did I criticise the PS3 for not having great games now (apparently I'm a very confusing person since you also think I attacked Halo 3's graphics when I was defending the graphics).  The issue is why is the PS3's 3rd party games either being ported to the 360 or being given later and later release dates.  It would seem to indicate the PS3 has entered the spiral of death I mentioned is all.  Good you had to toss in a little Wii bashing again, just shows how hard for some people the next 4 years will be.
