Who cares about system power! Show me the games! Show me the games! Should I shout it from the rooftops? I'm still confused why there aren't more games on the PS3 yet. The system got delayed 6-7 months which should have meant that developers had plenty of time to get their games made for the PS3's launch and yet all we hear about is delays and once exclusives going multi platform. This Power talk is all smoke and mirrors. I want games :)

Come on. Look at the 20 games you want for a PS3 thread. Those are the games! OKAY?! OKAY?! How many times must we shout it!?

The PS3 has as many great games out as the Wii, if not more if you include multi-platform releases only on the 360 and Wii.

I listen to 1up podcasts and all the time it's mentioned that the Wii owners are waiting for graet games to be released. Meanwhile, the 3 best games, Warioware, Zelda, and Paper Mario were gamecube games.

If you compare to the 360, yes, it has a head start, but many of the best games are being ported to the PS3 while a ton of exlusives are coming (just like every platform).

Stop with the "where are the games?" question unless you apply it to the Wii as well, where it's even more applicable. Even then, both have great games to play.

Actually, this isn't entirely true. The PS3 really is seeing a lack of exclusive games: this wasn't true at first, but has become a growing issue, presumably for multiple reasons, all of which are outside the scope of this post.

As you can see here, the PS3 now has less than half the total exclusive titles as the Xbox360, and a bit more than half as many as the Wii. The alarming thing is that this is a change -- if you look at the total exclusives 6 months ago when the systems were released, the Wii had 53 exclusives and the PS3 46 (please do note that this title includes both released and unreleased titles). They were very close in exclusives at the time: since then, the Wii has been gaining 3-4 exclusives every month, and the PS3 has actually lost more exclusive titles than it has gained.

However, there are still some key titles coming to the PS3, MGS4 and FF XIII chief amongst them. But you mentioned only quantity, and in that department, PS3 is significantly lagging behind either of the other systems, and the gap is widening.
