Personally I don't understand one #%$% about Sony's strategy.
I'm not saying one line-up is better than the other, however the biggest Ps3 exclusive in 2008 is MGS which won't have any impact during the holliday season anymore.
Fans of Motorstorm and Resistance already have a PS3, so probably won't be a system seller.
Home is more like a service, I very much doubt how a social environment can sell a system. everyone has Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn etc.
Although I really like the idea of LBP, I can't escape the idea that it's too soft for the current PS3 userbase and that not a lot of people will buy a $400,- console for it. Especially since the audience it's meant for will buy a Wii.
Why are the big games not there? Sony needs them. Of course they can't force 3rd parties, but where are the Sony games? PS3 doesn't exactly need to be beaten by 360 this holliday, but if Microsoft lowers the price, while PS3 will probably not, combined with some very good 360 games like Fable 2 and GTA expansion I can see Microsoft laughing really hard this holliday.
