They will potentially lose another fan tomorrow unless they have an AWESOME E3 press conference lined up. Something along the lines of SOCOM: Confrontation is actually going to be released tomorrow, and Team ICO's project will be released by the end of the year (solid release date).

I'm not angry about FF13 going multiplatform. I really don't care about the game. What I am angry about is how lazy it seems like Sony is. There are ZERO traditional JRPGs that will be released any time soon. Again, I don't care too much about those, but I feel like Sony isn't paying attention to what gamers PS3 gamers want. The XBox360 has gotten the much better deal on the JRPG side of things. Even if Tales of Vesperia and SO4 do make their way to the PS3, what's to say it won't be a Japan only deal like Eternal Sonata is ATM? Why don't SCEA/E work on getting those to the western world? Hell, why not work on getting simultaneous release dates? FF13 is getting a SIMULTANEOUS release date for the XBox360 and PS3 in the west. It's not some timed exclusive, and I don't give a shit about when games release in Japan. SCEA can't even get timed exclusives.

First-party wise, what is taking SOCOM: Confrontation so long to make? What is Zipper Interactive doing? What is SCEJ doing? Why cancel Eight Days and The Getaway (which IIRC were still in preproduction)? What have they been doing the past 1.5 years since the PS3 has been released? Day-dreaming about making an AAA game? Working on porting PSP games to the PS2? Sony needs to work on getting some games out. I can count the number of worthy PS3 exclusive games on one hand. It's getting ridiculous how long they are making us wait for their games.

I love my PS3. I think it's the best console bar none. I can use any 2.5" HDD. I can use any blutooth headset. I can use just about any storage medium to transfer savegames/backup the system. It includes wifi and offers online play free of charge. But none of that matters when you have so few worthy exclusive games.

Come on Sony, show me that you can do something. Anything. Get Home out. Seriously, what the hell is taking Home so long? While you announce Home at E3 '07 and still haven't released a year later, MS has announced their avatar/party thing at E3 '08 and will probably get it out before you. Get cracking Sony, because it looks like you've been lazy asses for the past year.
