Actually I was thinking this the other day.

The PS3 had a dominating line-up for 2007 until it was all delayed to 2008.

The PS3 had a dominating line-up for 2008 until the Xbox 360 got more stuff and the PS3's was delayed till 2009.

Now the PS3 has a dominating line-up for 2009, until it gets delayed till 2010.

Well many of the games just can't get delayed any longer, lol.

FFXIII, GT5, Killzone 2, Infamous, etc.

 

yes and let's not pretend that PS3 games were the only ones that got delayed .

 

alan wake

Splintercell

halo wars

 

 

Indeed.

The question reamins whether games like God of War III, Uncharted 2, and Team ICO's next game will be out next year or not.  Team ICO's next title should be 2.5 years into development already, and I think a 2.5 year total dev time for God of War III is feasible, given that they made GoWII in 2 years, and the fact that SCEWWS has been working together to improve ps3 tech across the board, so Sony Santa Monica shouldn't have any engine problems (hell, GG mentioned that SSM assisted them with Killzone 2's engine development, so they must have a good grasp of the machine by this point).

Sony recently mentioned that they are now only going to announce titles that are well under way in development (to prevent things like massive delays, and - even worse - cancellations like the Getaway 3 and Eight Days), so given the fact that they are no longer in the horrible position they were in last year, and thus no longer need to announce titles so damn long before release just to make it look the system has ANYTHING to play, I think that any titles they announce now should stay roughly on schedule, aside from those devs that are known for delays (Polyphony Digital, for example).

I have a feeling if God of War III and Uncharted 2 are announced at E3, with a holiday '09 release date (or any '09 release date), that they will hit that release date.  Naughty Dog and Sony Santa Monica, much like Insomniac, are not known for delays.  Team ICO I'm not so sure about.
