It's too soon to tell how the PS3's highly anticipated Metal Gear Solid 4 will impact June sales.

The year may not even be at the halfway mark, but Sony's luck will have to change if 2008 will end up the year of the PS3. It will now have to rely on its cast of anticipated holiday hits, such as Resistance 2 and LittleBigPlanet, and the launch of Home, its oft-delayed virtual online community, to drive sales.

There's always 2009.

PS domination moved to '09 confirmed? (XD I kid I kid)

Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Gosh Forbes is turning into a Pachter - these loose canon predictions are well, enjoyable - they should give me warnings so I can warm up my laugh box and pop corn.

I'm Unamerica and you can too.

215? You mean somebody under the Roman Emperor Caracalla invented the 4320p TV? Or maybe it was those barbarians to the north?

"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
