As someone else posted earlier...it will be well into next year before we see decent 3rd party titles, and it's like to be nearer the end of 2008 before we see truely good 3rd party titles. This effectively gives the PS3 some breathing space to rack up some sales. Now don't forget, they already have a whole host of titles in development and most are not due until next year. And because the developers have dedicated so much time and money on them already, then will not quit. They may and probably have, tried to pressurise Sony into a PS3 price reduction...we will see. I expect the Wii and 360 to have approximately the same lifespan...but the 360 has 12 months of an advantage. The PS3, will slowly, but IMHO surely come from behind (ahem) and build up some solid sales. Although it needs to do this over the next 12 months, so Sony have their work cut out. The Wii IMHO will begin winding down from 2009 onwards, this is when the PS3 will be picking up momentum IMHO. The 360 has slowed already, and although there will be bursts (Halo, GT4)...it will slowly wind down from the end of 2008 onwards. Yes, power isn't everything...but in the case of this generation; the power difference between the 360, PS3 and Wii is so different, that I reckon, this will the the eventual downfall of the Wii. It's just too similar to last generation and that and long with the Wiimote etc have seen people flock to buy it. It's easy, cheap and cheerful....but how long will this last? |
Funny you should say that, because from what I've seen so far, games on the 360 and PS3, while looking far better than last generation, play too similar to last generation, while the Wii, while looking too similar to last generation, have games that play very differently from last generation!
