This is true so far, and with Halo out now , that leaves Mass Effect- that is all

But if we use a little thing called foresight, we can find that Sony is securing the future of gaming on their system.

I feel like I am taking crazy pills here people -
Killzone, MGS, GranTurismo5, FF, LBP, Ratchet & Clank, Uncharted, Haze, UT3, the Getaway, Playstation Home, (which has file sharing) all Sony exclusive.
What I am looking forward to is Rockstars future exclusive title with Sony, so if you think about it- Microsoft paid Rockstar 50 million to have exclusive episodic content for GTA, then rockstar takes that money and develops a game for the PS3.

Sony has exclusive deals with many devs making them 2nd party developers.

And the argument of there being less devs interested in Sony because of a smaller user base is a moot point because Devs understand that Sony has been around half as long as Microsoft in this gen, and understand that the Wii is not in the same field. (At first devs were weary, but almost all are developing for both Microsoft and Sony now, instead of porting the 360 garbage)
But when it comes to 3rd party exclusives, Microsoft has Bioshock, and Mass Effect.
If the world ended soon, then Microsoft would have the edge here- so it all comes back to foresight.

There were many times in the past 2 generations I felt that I was on 'crazy pills' because amazing games were released on the N64 and Gamecube and didn't sway the general public's buying habits.

The games you listed will sell well on the PS3 but do not ensure much in the way of sales for the PS3 ...

Why even care if they are on the throne not.

 As a gamer its actually better they dont win this gen,  they will try that much harder if they arent wining.

@Darkdays

They will get less developer support if they dont win. I dont care, I love my psp and its being destroyed by the ds.

 Yessir. I think that Sony knows they can't fight against Halo at the moment...they must be waiting for 2008 to start advertising and hitting Xbox 360 hard while Xbox is in the drought (Atleast i hope that's what they have planned). 

We have to keep in mind thought that Sony has to do decent this year, and get atleast 8m userbase worldwide, because some developers might really get worried...what good are games with no one to sell them to? 


I dont see 360 going into a drought though, early next year we have alot of games (too human, Lost Odyssey, Alan wake), and other big games later that year, id very suprised if not a few of those turned out to be good games.

Your right, i dont think they should just give up this year, if they have a very low userbase, alot of people could go multi on them, or stop making games altogether



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

BTW stop listing FF, it will be very lucky if it comes out 08, and thats japan release only!
