Resident Evil 5 is on Xbox 360 as well. I would say that the games most likely to give the PS3 a sales boost are Resistance 2 and Killzone 2 and possibly LittleBigPlanet.

Exclusives aren't the only thing PS3 owners are looking for. They want the best experience out of their console and that's the reason why they bought a PS3.

People who buy consoles based on exclusives either really enjoy exclusives or are simply stupid. Want to play a game badly? Don't spend out all your cash then regret it later.

I'm looking forward to Home. It's be delayed endlessly but it's because Sony is trying to get it as perfect as can be expected from such a ambitous project. Home will be a big reason to own a PS3 if it works out and it will be something that cannot be easily duplicated this generation like the Mii's.

What I mean by that is that Microsoft's Avatars are more or less a ripoff of Nintendo's Mii's. If Home is successful you can bet Microsoft will want to cash in on that sucess and will make their own little version of Home. However if that is to happen there is no way Microsoft would be able to get that out this generation. So if Home is successful it will only be on PS3 there will be no other experience like it on any other platform.

The great thing about Home is that it holds alot of possibility's. Sony can endlessly adapt and expand the service to be capable of what they need it to do. That can only benefit the user. The great thing is that if Home ends up as something Sony plans of keeping around even after the PS3 is over and the PS4 comes around it will be very exciting to see what they do with the service becasue as I mentioned it may end up being a endlessly adaptable program.

If you look at the release of the PS2, we can probably guess that this won't be so - It took the Ps2 a while to get it's thing going, for similar reasons to the PS3 - too expensive, not enough exclusive games, etc. But now, it's pretty much undoubtedly the best system ever, in terms of games... It took a few years to reach that peak. Just give the PS3 some time! Sony's always been a lil' slow. :)

I love my PS3, I think sony is too big a business for the ps3 to die

I guess I'll just agree with everyone else with how the Ps3 won't be dying anytime soon. Personally, I want a PS3 myself, so that I can play Ps2 games on it. I played some on my friend's Ps3 the other day, and the graphics were a lot clearer than they were on my console...though maybe that's because of her huge TV. I have a huge TV too though...Huh...anyhow, the new games coming out for Ps3 also look uber awesome! Like that one Little Big Planet game...cute. I'm sure that in a couple years, thousands of RPGs will plague the PS3.

I have been a sony fan but i think i am going to switch now because all the good games are coming for xbox 360

I don't have a ps3, I have an xbox360. I have no idea if it will die, but it might is it doesn't get more games and more people playing it.I think the ps3 is influencing the way xbox360 is doing things. Since ps3 can be live and it's free for people I think the xbox360 will make their live free too.

Well I own all 3 systems. Everyone should know that the 360 is king this generation , and that the Wii is pretty much purposely kept out of stock so it will continue selling. The PS3 is a decent system, however it is simply too highly priced for most consumers. And of course it doesn't help that even after almost 3yrs its game library is seriously lacking. The PS2 continues to do so well due to its cheap price and abundance of games , which this generation the 360 has. So towards the end of this generation will the PS3 be as big as the PS2 is now (and has been for the past couple years) I think not.

I have said this one before but I think that Sony is going to be going under in the console market. Other than Nintendo no one has lasted more than 4 consoles (that I can think of anyway), so we'll have to see what Sony does for its PS4.

PS3 won't die, but it'll be in last place.

X360 is outselling Wii and PS3 right now in Japan. Especially X360, outselling a Japanese-made console!

Also two popular JRPGs will be coming to the X360 which are Final Fantasy Xi (not a port) and Star Ocean 4 (exclusive). Squaresoft left Nintendo and joined up with Sony because of the PS1 technology at the time, PERHAPS they're slowly doing the same?

Although XBL costs money, it's way better than PSN. At a time I tried both before deciding which console to get so I wasn't biased towards either of them.

Sorry for sounding like a fanboy, it's just like the X360 and PS3 are rivaling consoles and the Wii has its own category.

Honestly though, I would get a PS3 only for MGS4, R2, and maybe KZ2.

Well it "can" die, ill be very impressed if somehow they win this round of the console wars, theyll be the first company to held the crown 3 generations in a row, nintendo had NES, SNES, and then lost to PS1, Sony has PS1, PS2, and they are losing to 360 and Nintendo is once again whupping everybody (but thats after two failures in a row the n64 and the gamecube), Atari far before that was taken down by nintendo, so you see theres no such thing as absolute sureness in console wars all kings are overthrown, and no one rules forever, just buy all consoles and be happy (i know i am), as to the matter of the console "dying", i dont see it happening they may be number 3 and they certainly have the chops to pull of a miracle and beat out the 360, just as the 360 can certainly beat donw the wii from number one (altough whit all that casual crapware the wii is churning i dont consider the wii a game console anymore, is just a toy for little children)

Final Fantasy Xi is going to release on both consels the same day....
But, that doesn't mean its going to die. The PS3 is most likely going
to have a longer life-span due to blue-ray and the processor

XBox is probably going to be the first to release another consle in the
next few years to come. But that's just my guessing about the life-span
thing. But, I can't see any system taking a hard hit like Sega.

Sony isn't leaving the console business anytime soon. It will take ALOT more then the PS3 doing less then expected for them to give up. If anyone is gonna leave the business it will be Microsoft as the Xbox and Xbox 360 have cost them plenty. Just the Red Ring issue with the 360 alone has cost them millions upon millions. Any money they make over the rest of this console generation will merely be recouping that loss.

The other side of that is Sony who knew that they would lose money as they were gambling on getting Blu-ray into the house of millions and that gamble paid off as Blu-ray won the format war and will go on to make quite a bit of money for Sony.

Sony could lose several console generations and they would not leave the industry. The PlayStation and Playstation 2 are 2 of the most successful consoles in history and those successes alone will keep Sony coming back time and again.

It's a fact that the PS3 has far more staying power power then the 360 does. It is almost a given that the PS3 will go up against the next Xbox before the PS4 even shows its face. With that being the case it is extreamly likely that the PS3 will indeed repeat the PS2's success as people will not being as willing to buy yet another new console and by that time the PS3 will be far cheaper. Therefore having the same effect the PS2 is having now. The PS2 is selling so well because it is very cheap and has great games and the same will most likely happen with the PS3.

Crippled but not dead/(oOo)#

I have to say PS3 must cost a lot in developing games for then cuz Square Enix had to jump ship and make A very popular game such as Final Fantasy 13 for Xbox 360. I have to say I am now glad that I have a Xbox 360 now. It just suck that games like this and others are going to be in other platforms (good 4 us bad 4 them) I used to be proud to have a PS2 about 5 years ago but now It lost it’s value but I think they can stay alive due to the Japanese people and hardcore RPG players.

In America you might as well use it a paper weight you know. /(oOo)#

No, not really. there is a lot of great games coming to the PS3 such as LittleBigPlanet which i heard was exclusive for the PS3...
