You'll see an increase in support for PS3. Most however are PSN games that Sony is publishing. I still think that Sony had a great first year in first party. It's their third party support that dropped off the map. PS2's first year had Metal Gear Solid 2, Tekken Tag Tournament, Silent Hill 2, Grand Theft Auto 3, Final Fantasy X, amongst others. Among first party, it's look a bit equal:
PS2-Gran Turismo 3, ICO, Twisted Metal Black and Dark Cloud with Jak & Daxter on the way
PS3-Resistance: Fall of Man, Motorstorm, Warhawk, Uncharted, Ratchet & Clank Future, Heavenly Sword
Actually it seems Sony itself did a better job on the PS3. Now ain't that a shocker.
Tag: Became a freaking mod and a complete douche, coincidentally, at the same time.
