do we get all games next year then except halo and cod? this is crazy but expected for last of us. i would love to get it now i can't wait anymore damn...but better later and a perfect game than rushing it and having bugs or so.

sony release plenty of value bundle during holiday season

Sucks, but then again it doesn't.

It'll give me something to play in 2013 along with Gears: J, Gow: A, followed by The Last Guardian in 2113.

Relatively weak line-up this year for Sony though (IMO!)

Thats why I said a great value bundle.

There's also Sports Champions 2 lol
I really don't know how this will fare.

But in my opinion all 3 consoles have a bad first-party line-up for this Holiday. But it really doesn't matter considering the massive third-party line-up.

I want to believe you with that, I really do, because it makes sense and they've gone so long without a price-cut, but I'm at this point just not sure if Microsoft is going to do it, they're comparably not doing so abysmal that they can't go on without a price-cut, they're making good profit of everything they're selling, and they've got to deal with increased R&D costs...

I'd like to see a price-cut, but I'm just not sure if Microsoft will opt to go that way instead of just realising great value packs, Halo 4 console and all that to get those necesarry sales.

I am sure PS3 will do fine, just like it has been.

meh, exclusives don't really matter this late in the gen. Like others have said, bundles, pricing, and other value-increasing strategies are more important.

Sly, LBP Karting and All Stars arent enough to compete with Halo 4.

And Last of Us was...? Really...?
