Hey Guys, there are much "Sony is going to die" threads, but if you look forward : is PS3´s situation and future really that bad?
No, it simply isnt.
in 2009...
- Killzone II Will come, and it will be awesome. (Awesome Graphics, stunning effects.... a nice shooter, no one can say something else about it.)
- Final Fantasy versus XIII (one of the most loved Square Enix franchise´s : Final Fantasy. and vXIII will be only for PS3...dont worry about Infinite Undiscovery and Last Remnant... :P)
- WHOAA! ...look at the Teaser of God of War III, and watch the leaked Pics of Uncharted 2 - they both are looking awesome - and they are still in development.
- Patented Motion Control: Sony is able to create new Kinds of Games with Wii-like Controls : and Microsoft cant copy it ;) (so there is a new Partythingy - Singstar, Eyetoy and Buzz are getting reinforcements :P)
- RPGS! - Final Fantasy Versus XIII, White Knight Stories/Chronicles, Demons Souls - and the Multiplat´s : Sacred 2 / The Witcher : Rise of the White Wolf -- every game looks promising.
- Bigger, Better, and more Badass: God of War III, Uncharted : Among Thieves, Killzone 2, Yakuza 3, Gran Turismo 5, InFamous, MAG, Quantum Theory and more will rock !
- Pricedrop: Produce a Bluray drive will be cheaper after time, and Sony will be able to sell PS3 a little bit cheaper.
----------------
and if you look into the future:
- Sony has a new Format: Blu ray. until the next generation arrives: it will be much faster, and there will be Discs, that can store hundreds of Gigabyte´s. And Games WILL be bigger, so Microsoft must: a.) buy the Blu ray license´s from Sony / b.) create a new kind of disc. both options are expensive, so sony will be able to sell PS4 earlier to a lower Price then Microsoft its 720 ;) (so it will be vice versa to the present sitation.)
The Sun will shine for Sony - later, but it will.

So much dirt to comment on... here I go - from top to bottom........
1. TIP: Any topic title with the word "fact" in it can almost imediately be discounted as opinion.
2. I can say truthfully that I am not interested AT ALL in Killzone 2, and I am far from the only one. Plus, "the play's the thing" - Shakespeare.
3. Agreed. The question will be how far behind MS will Sony be when these titles release? Uncharted 2 looks much better to my eyes than GoW3, but that's another thread.
4. Yeah patented, because, you know, there is only one way to skin a cat. As for patents in the field of motion tech, Microsofts Freestyle Pro (released in the last century) says "hola".
5. Only one of those you listed, Witcher, is an actual RPG. If you mean "fantasy game" then yes, those will be good - looking forward to Versus a lot. Sacred 2 will most likely be a slow and frustrating bugfest like the first one. "Titan Quest" was much more fun, and D3 will be the finest iteration yet.
6. Agreed, but as someone who ALREADY owns a PS3 (60 GIG FTW), I would rather Sony keep the price up and get actually profit this generation.
7. Contrary to the people that think MS will use a different format of optical (HD-DVD seems to be the soup of the day here) MS will most likely use Blu-Ray so that it has maximum convergence. However, you are fooling yourself if you think that this will be a HUGE cost. Most likely 10 to 20 dollars for the license, and far less than half of that goes to Sony.
8. The BD license will NOT enable Sony to sell their next console cheaper than MS. Only intelligent engineering and foresight will.
For the record, SONY ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE. The PS3 will be just fine. I would not have bought one if I had any doubt, and I do not (and will not ever) own a 360. The haters and doomsayers are sadly mistaken, but to combat illogic with gross illogic does nothing for camp Sony.
