PS3,PS2 and the PSP are three great pieces of hardware which all offer their own unique control inputs and superior user interfaces that are more userfriendly than what other systems offer. PS3,PS2 and PSP provide better gaming experiences. I expect continued great hardware and software sales of all Sony platforms. The industry has seen unexperienced growth for over a decade which can mainly be attributed to Sony's foresight. Playstation is universally associated with video games. Playstation success isn't solely based on the input devices of the PS3,PS2 and the PSP, it's the unmatched brilliance of their 1st party games which also plays a big role. By now everyone knows that it is hardware working together with the software that is creating an experience a lot of people have been seeking. The Playstation brand has sold with PSX,PS2,PS3,PSP a combined total of almost 300 million hardware. An impressive number indeed. Three to four billion games have be sold on the Playstation systems.
The quality of Sony's 1st party games rake in lots of money through well established franchises and upcoming new IP's. The PS2 and PSP has already shown that good games sell accordingly and rewarded 3rd parties with huge returns of investments for their efforts. The PS3 is picking up strongly and 3rd parties from the PS2 era will jump on board the new PS3 which has the best technology within a gaming console. Sony systems are much better options to make games for, 3rd parties should start to bring their major franchises over to the PS3. The PS3 and the PSP should get tons of games in the next years and with a large number of software comes lots of additional appeal to gamers previously not interested. And with such a huge amount of games, there naturally will be a lot of good and great ones among them. PSP and PS3 are the best consoles with the best hardware/3rd party support.
