PlayStation 3 Owns All The Momentum Heading Into The Holidays

As we all know, the holiday season is absolutely crucial for most industries, and that most certainly includes video games. This year, and for the very first time, I can honestly say Sony's next-gen machine has Bogarted all the momentum as we head into the always-lucrative holiday months.

Why? It's not about the smaller picture; it's about the bigger picture, which means we have to analyze 2008 and the near future; let's say, the first part of 2009. Consumers are most interested in how a product has fared recently, and whether or not they'll be happy with their purchase down the road. Of course, the consumer realizes it's impossible to predict the future, but in the game industry, they can definitely examine the next 6-12 months or so. Now, the Wii has a substantial lead, but without the software, that lead is bound to dissipate (no arguments from the Wii fanatics; that system has nothing all that significant on the horizon as far as I can see), and the Xbox 360 has been slipping. The reliability issue is still there - sadly - Too Human flopped, and Microsoft is going to pin most of their holiday hopes to Gears of War 2 and Fable II.. ...those are fine games to pin your hopes to, of course, but in my opinion, it's not enough to steal away the acquired PS3 momentum.

[JustinSaneV2]

The PS3 has an awesome holiday lineup but it wouldn't say it's "owns all the momentum"...

Just a good majority of it. :D

[CursedBubbleEater]

Meh, i'll let u slide.

((obviously the ps3 owns the holiday season little big planet will be the most bought game this year next to grand theft auto 4 and metal gear solid 4))

[Bots Of A Feather Fl]

[Martini]

This article = Insecure Sony fans wishfull thinking
Reality = 360 will mop the floor with Sony this holiday season :)

[v1c1ous]

nintendo will be laughing all the way to the bank

[Kuest]

i smell burnt flesh, and a spilled martini!

[SL1M DADDY]

Talk about going from one end of the spectrum to the other in a heart beat. Perhaps it's not about one company moppong the floor with the other and that it is more about us, the consumer getting some great games due to some great competition...

[Silogon]

I wonder if RPG development starts when they say it does too? Just saying.

[jwatt]

I think both Sony and M$ have an equal amount of momentum, Sony with LBP and Home then MS has Fable 2 and of course Gears of war 2 and we can't forget the pricecut. Honestly I don't really know how it's going to go down this holiday season but at the end of the day I really think everyone is going to do well. Sony has the most expensive console but they also have alot of great content coming to it including Blu Ray. Even if Sony comes in third this holiday they're going to pull some good numbers. Sony will be satisfied with that going in to 2009 because I also think Sony has a very strong line up in 09. Then the 360 has a great catalog of games with a good price point, who knows what's going to happen when gears launches with the 360 at that price.

[BSigel81]

You forgot R2, I have my own personal hopes on SOCOM. But, I know LBP will own the year for Sony. Mainly because it caters to many casual and hardcore gamers.

[JRaptor]

Yeah, I think with the latest info about Resistance 2 it has stepped up to compete on an even level with Gears of War 2. It may not have quite as many sales, but in the areas of hype and quality should be about the same.
I can see LBP completely overshadowing fable II with all this hype that is being built up.

If there was no price drop on the 360, Sony would have pretty much all the momentum, with only GeoW2 propping up the Xbox...but I'd put it at a bit of an edge to Sony, but being fairly even overall.

I think Sony will be able to push on further from this though, with their much stronger line-up for early 2009.

[DaTruth]

I've seen a lot of fathers buy it for their kids as a present, but really for themselves for blu ray. factor in LBP and you have a recipe for Christmas sales.

[nice_cuppa]

oh well !

[jacobie74]

curse playstation and the people that play it .........sincerley...the playstation killa...

[ProfessionalTroll]

xbox still at the repair shop ay?

[Bots Of A Feather Fl]

[Lord Shuhei Yoshida]

Have a heart.We all know xbots can't write

[chrisnick]

anyone else who says different needs to prove themselves.....and if u say "the new xbox experience" u just pwned urself.

[juuken]

Sony's lineup is incredible this year. Resistance 2 has me drooling. LBP is way too cute for words. White Knight Chronicles looks stunning.

This is a great time to own a PS3.

[Ju]

Agreed. I just got WipeoutHD. That game gave me that feeling back I had when I played it the first time on the PS1. That's when it started it for me (well, sort of). But it looks sooo incredible @ 1080p+60fps and the excellence sound experience (42"+surround sound). Wipeout feeling pimped into 21st century. I'm ready for Christmas (my wallet is not, though). Good times.

[LikAChicken]

I definitely agree. R2 actually really has me excited enough to preorder recently. That forest level looks amazing, really AMAZING. Fallout 3 is going to be good for my RPG needs and I hope my sister buys LBP to round it off. All in all, the three games have high replay ability and they seem like good investments.

Edit: And WKS is looking amazing too(I just saw the trailer, which got me pumped, and the gameplay with that large enemy). I was worried at first cause the gameplay seemed bland, but I recently saw a showing of it. The game has DEFINITELY come a long way. I really want this game BAD. It reminds me when I was younger and I played ff7,ff8, and legend of dragoon(throwback!). I hope it comes out soon; its a must have RPG to me.

[juuken]

I still have to get Wipeout HD though. I have not forgotten that game because it's a mustbuy. I'm just a little strapped right now.

But man...I'm so excited for these games.

[theEnemy]

LittleBigPlanet

Game of the Year.

[silverchode]

are going to go for 40+ comments?

[Lord Shuhei Yoshida]

@Silverchode

No he already owned the xbots masterfully.But its his choice so...maybe

[John_McCain]

I need some of that positive momentum for my otherwise abysmal presidential campaign. :(

[iceice123]

The Sony PlayStation 3 is the best next generation console available. Going into this Holiday season it has the best titles of any console With heavy hitters such as resistance 2, littlebigplanet and Motorstorm 2 it is no reason people think it will own this holiday season.

[aiphanes]

That is 5 exclusives that will sell millions...vs only 2 for microsoft Fable 2 and Gears 2...All the Wii has is wii music...it will sell millions....but little big planet will sell consoles...Gears 2 will not sell many consoles...its a hardcore game...that will sell to the people who already have Gears 1...plus Gears 2 will eventually come to the PC...

Lets not even talk about 2009...because we all know Sony has that year locked up to...the only thing microsoft has going in the price cut...but even that is not the best deal vs the PS3...the PS3 you get bluray (will be hot because of all the hot summer movies), bluetooth 2.0, wifi, and free online service and HOME. Home is way better than the Wii Mii and Microsoft Avatars.

With the Xbox 360...you have to have a harddrive, wifi and pay $49 a year for online service. You have to factor that in. Sure you get a nice 60 GB hard drive in the $299 Xbox 360...but you do not get wifi, or bluray. Some say you do not need wifi...but yes you do if you have not ethernet cable near you HDTV. Most people don't. Even the Wii has built in wifi...microsoft could have added it...but they were cheap.

In the end little big planet will mop all other games up...Gears of War 2 will be the best Xbox 360 christmas game.....Resistance 2 will be the best first person shoot game, and Wii Music will sell more than Rock Band 2...

[Beast_Master]

I am going out on a limb and gonna say Wii music will flop. I just don't see the appeal for even non-gamers.

[iceice123]

PS3 crushing you all year and it is going to continue through this holiday season, even with your last ditch price drop effort.

[TheColbertinator]

Mwahahahahahahahaha

[Sevir04]

They are coming, and i'll just sit here and watch the flames rise... LMAO while i agree that Sony's momentum will be huge this holiday season. i dont need to make put that out there this fall all i really care about is my gaming needs satisfying me, and sony and it's third party partners are providing that with exclusive first, second, and third party titles that will make sure i have a happy play season in what will be the best holiday season in what has been a long while.

For those that have a PS3 it's the games that matter not this console war..

like v1c1ous said a few posts up ninty will be laughing to the bank this fall, but so will MS and Sony as all three are set to have the best holidays they've ever had in a while..

and that just means more and better games for us

[SRuN4]

Neither console has a murder's row of exclusives to drop this holiday season, but I'd give a slight edge to Sony because they have more high profile first party titles (SOCOM, LBP, Motorstorm, R2) compared to Microsoft's high profile exclusives (Gears & Fable 2). But I'd still say Gears of War 2 is gonna sell the most units of everything coming out this holiday season unless LBP catches with the main stream audience.

But I definitely wouldn't say Sony has the momentum because they're still going to have to struggle with the price point of the PS3 compared to the other systems on the market. Unless they shock us with a small price drop of like $50 towards the end of October, which I don't see happening at all.

[PimpHandStrong]

with the huge catalog of great games and great games coming over the next 6 months!

[Man_of_the_year]

sorry dbl post

[Resistance--------Ge]

Which has a greater chance of destroying earth;the Xbox 360,or the Large Hadron Collider?

[Freezingduck]

[fafoon]

What a Great Headline

[Man_of_the_year]

I dont think the PS3 has any more momentum then it did 6 months ago - nothing has changed and we all knew what games will be releasing and Home again was pushed back. To be honest the 360 seems to have been the only console that has made any changes since MS has dropped the price, has taken the once exclusive FF XIII away from Sony and has a new dash board coming out soon. The 360 has also gained some momentum as we have seen now for the past 2 weeks it has outsold the PS3 in its home country Japan...Its hard to say the PS3 has momentum when it is outsold 2 weeks in a row in Japan.

I am sorry but i think the only console as of right now that is creating more momentum is the 360. So i guess i disagree with the article - Sony needs to do something then just rely on a sequel where the first one wasnt really recognized as a contender for any awards, an online experience that is constantly delayed and features that are constantly being taken out, an RPG that has yet to prove itself and a game that is clearly targeted to the casual audience (as cute as it may be Juuken). We also know that MS doesnt really like to mention new games that are in the next year other than the obvious ones.

Now maybe i am just upset that Ironman may be delayed on blu-ray but IMHO i really think Sony needs MORE to create momentum rather than just riding the momentum it already had 6 months ago.

[aiphanes]

That delayed news is now old. It will be out on the 30th...Bluray has momentum too....LBP will be hotter than Gears 2.....heck Socom might be hotter than Gears 2.

What beta are people killing to get into right now? Little Big Planet.
What game will be game of the year for 2008? Little Big Planet.

Is there even a Gears 2 beta?

[Man_of_the_year]

14.1 - @ aiphanes
Well i have not seen any articles where they have fixed it but i did say MAY BE DELAYED so relax there bro,if they did thats awesome cant wait to get it, blu-ray doesnt have momentum as the sales for blu-ray just dropped like 30%, LBP may or may not be hotter than gears2 that is just your opinion which is a valid one as LBP is getting a lot of positive reviews but you are also forgetting that MGS4 came out this year...so dont put all your assumtions in 1 basket just yet that LBP will be GOTY - and i dont think gears 1 had a beta and it ended up being GOTY so an open beta really is a NULL point of yours. Also SOCOM has a specific following i really dont think SOCOM is going to do as great as you think - i am sure it will be great but not to the extent that you seem to perceive.

[BlackTar187]

But GeOW got GOY becasue it had no competiton in next gen games it was released when the 360 was the only thing out. I may be off a month and ps3 may have been out a month or wii but yeah. GeOW launcehed with no real competion so lets pleas enot forget that.

Im looking forward to gears 2 coop and cant wait for that actually Im in a bit rush to get that game I want Coop bad.

Gears of Wars 1 was tight but it got Game of the year with no singleplayer(It had it but forgettable)

[Man_of_the_year]

actually the PS3 was out and a game called resistance FOM was its launch title...now if i am not mistaken HALO on the original xbox was a launch title too and got GOTY so dont be so quick to assume that just because a console is new on the scene that all launch titles cant be a contender for the GOTY spot...Gears did have compitition, its just all the games were on the 360.

[PimpHandStrong]

soon

the Sony pimphand is ready to slap some tramps

tramps=XBUTTS

[PimpHandStrong]

you do know your talking about a game in FF that wont be out till 2010!

good try thou

[Man_of_the_year]

Point being that it is no longer exclusive which means choice for the customer whether to get it for the 360. Since both versions will be released at the same time in the US ppl may decide to just get a 360 now with the price drop since they are not constrained to the more expensive console for the same expierence - its amazing when choice is presented to the customer what can happen.

So ya it was a pretty good try and a valid point as well.

But thanks for your typically blinded fanboy respons as you plainly couldnt even see past the obvious.

[Skyreno]

PS3>>>>>>> ;>>>Xboxcrapy360

[mondsiu]

one word - agreed

[Raptors]

PSX EXTREME....not much else to say...

[Raoh]

truth is the strategy is different.

sony = lots and lots of great first party titles this year (mgs4, disgeae 3, socom, lbp, r2, motorstorm 2, valkyria chronicles et). very little issues when compared to multi console games compared to last year. trophies, online and xmb features, HOME looming in the background

microsoft = ninja gaiden 2 did ok (mind you its bugs would have been slammed if it were a ps3 exclusive), too human.. lol sold well on hype, again if it were a ps3 exclusive it would have been slammed. you cant take away its great title in gears of war 2.. halo wars pushed into 2009 hurt them i think this holiday. and fable isnt a must have title yet, fable 1 was ok and not very widely received.. so in comes price cut which is its real strategy. oh and its on again off again gta4 dlc

tales of vesperia and infinite undiscovery helped too but got higher reviews than they deserved it seems. from what i've read (check for yourselves) its pretty graphics, bad audio sync, choppy at times, good battle systems... its a winner they claim lol just like too humans bad game over all but hey... its bad ass right LOL

we will leave the wii out of this contest for now...

______

and no one, especially "i love 360, we hate ps3" websites are talking about how microsoft lost or never really had many exclusives. if the ps3 originally had eternal sonata and bioshock the internet would be lit up with "sony looses another exclusive.. microsoft looses one and its... ehhh

tales of vesperia? coming to ps3

last remnant? ms locked in a "timed" exclusive there

sacred 2: fallen angel? was a pc/360 exclusive and the dev not only added the ps3 but its an original build not a port.

champions online for next year? cryptic already said they want to make a ps3 version once the 360 and pc versions are done.

what does this prove? that sony isnt the only one loosing exclusives.

___

we can congratulate MS in making some sales in japan.. but lets not forget that the ps3 has been outselling the 360 all year.. at a higher price. disgaea 3 and valkyria chronicles are already released in japan earlier this year so it doesnt help ps3 in japan this holiday but it does in the U.S.

but japan does get white knight story for for the ps3 in december and expect the masses to go crazy when the final fantasy: advent children movie releases on blu ray with a final fantasy xiii demo for the ps3.. expect ps3 sales to spike from people that just want to play the demo

microsoft cant get any lower for a while.. and ps3 has 45nm chips on the way in 2009.. with killzone 2, dc universe, agency, heavy rain

i would say the ps3 momentum is strong.. and only growing stronger..

i'm not going to say the 360 is dead in the water,... but xbox 360 fans are crazy if they think the 360 has defeated the ps3 with a price cut and some timed exclusives...

[plain rice]

All Sony needs this holiday is a price drop. A $299 PS3 will put the $199 360 to shame.

[The Milkman]

Honestly people who brag about their PS3 must not own a 360. I own a PS3 and Im so dissapointed right now its not funny.. I put that on everything that I rarely use my PS3. If your looking to buy a console you can trust my advice and my friends have thanked me for it.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I'm very honest with this also...and I love my PS3. My roommate has a 360.

Personally, I enjoy the PS3 much more. The PSN seems more open and accessible than Live. Plus, there's an internet browser, and upgradable HDD, hundreds of features the 360 may never have, and a little something I like to call "Metal Gear Solid 4".

It's better. There's no question in my mind that if you gave a PS3 with its current lineup/features and a 360 with its current lineup and features to a kid who has only played NES games...that kid would choose the PS3.

With HOME coming...the 360 doesn't have a prayer.

Microsoft is moving on at this point. They will support it for a couple more years, but spend most of their money on developing a new system...getting it out as quickly as possible.

[aftrdark21]

I have a Wii, PS3, and 360 and i must say i rarely (if ever) cut on my 360. I've experienced the RROD once and it wasn't fun. I do plan on getting Gears 2 and then i will cut my ps3 back on. Also I've convinced friends to get PS3s b/c of the reliable hardware. However to each his own. In the end we (the gamers) win.

Game On!

[baodeus]

I don't think this is a good holiday season for either consoles in general. The economy is in crisis (CNN and Bush recent talks on television). Gas price is still pretty high. One of the largest Bank just went out of business and got bought out. People are loosing thousand of dollars on 401K (if you have a job, you would know). Homes are on for closure (bank selling houses for cheap since home owners can't pay the mortgage) So in time like this, people tend not to buy things or buy expensive things, or "luxury" things .....like the PS3. It is just my opinion but "cheaper" or "affordable" seem to be a better slogan for this holiday season.

[DaTruth]

360's home base and only chance is that place. PS3 sells well everywhere else. Looks like 360 is in trouble.

[Raoh]

thats why its all opinion at the end of the day "The Milkman"

i had a 360 first. it was ok, had some fun with it.. after some hardware failure (three 360's from march 2007 to november 2007) , i got the ps3 (main goal was to own all three consoles) after a month with the ps3 i traded in my ps3 and got a second ps3. one in the bedroom and one in the living room. planning on a third for the other bedroom.

i enjoy my ps3 more than i ever did my 360. and find it more reliable and multipurpose. and as far as exclusives go, i like the sony line up better.

but again its all opinion.

i always hear about people online who say they dont use their ps3 or dont like it. but i have yet to meet someone in real life that makes that claim.

i say if you dont like your ps3, do like i did my my 360, get rid of it.

[baodeus]

Why do you need so many PS3 for? And you trade in your PS3 to get a PS3, but you end up with 2 PS3s.......something wrong with your calculation there...

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

He meant PS2, I'm pretty sure.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I totally agree.

It's just that all I've heard from EVERYONE is how fun Little Big Planet is! People don't buy into something labeled as "fun" because the "fun" games have been letting us down so much lately. I'd say, with the exception of Wario Ware, very little "fun" has been available this generation.

I think anyone denying that Little Big Planet, HOME, and Resistance 2 are mouth-wateringly tempting are denying themselves enjoyment...

[timmyrulz]

I cant believe that people actually believe that Sony has all the momentum, its beyond funny. If that was posted a month or so ago you could be inclined to agree but since the price drop the pendulum has firmly swung MS way.

The x360 is outselling in USA, the sales are on level pegging in Europe (i looked on VG Chartz and although they arent all that reliable they seem to be when they show ps3 in the lead, its funny that, i havent seen it posted on here for a while mmmmmmm.....)and the x360 has even outsold the ps3 in Japan (yes i know its only for the past 2 weeks but you would have never though you would have even heard that sentance)

Disagree all you want, thats what the button is there for but it will be interesting to see who is right come christmas time

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

The 360 has outsold the PS3 for only a couple of weeks...and only because they're cheaper than crack!

Nobody wants old hardware this Christmas. They want fun! Little Big Planet is FUN!

HOME is a connection to the world...which is another thing people want.

Intricate online play with a leveling system to make Blizzard quake with fear...Resistance 2.

Nobody wants old-school, dude. People want new experiences...not Gears of War 2 or Fable 2.

Also, Dark Knight on Blu-ray...

Nuff' sed.

[Beast_Master]

But I think MS underestimates PS3's Blu-ray. Every where I go that sells TVs has a Blu-ray display showing consumers how much crisp the picture and sound is on those HD Tv's they are salivating over. heck even My Blockbuster plays Blue-ray on a PS3. Point being it is great that 360 has a great library and a lower price but I don't think that lower price will translate to a butt kicking from either company. I expect that MS will outsell PS3 in Sept. and sell around 50,000 more than PS3 in October. Then in Nov Sony will package PS3's with the purchase of a Bravia TV along and add a 100 price cut on Black Friday which will generate sales numbers close to 360 in Nov. But then by the next year when more people have HDTV's Sony will continue it's sales pace because the total list of games will be comparible to 360, Gears will be old news and Killzone 2 and RE5 will be great companion games that will generate a lot of hype.

So I am predicting 360 to sell more in the US than PS3 overall this holiday but it will only put the sales lead back to before MGS4 was released which if you remember sony soled 250,000 more than 360 in that month. Which means if 360 gets 50,000 more in Sept, Oct and Nov. even December they will only make up for what they lost in June. And with no big hits hitting the console till March Sony could reclose the gap again by the time RE5 rolls out.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I completely agree.

However, Nintendo will come out on top this holiday. Their gimmicks have worked so far. Why wouldn't they continue to work?

I do see the PS3 OWNING the 360 though. With Iron Man and The Dark Knight on Blu-ray, everyone will want a blu-ray player.

I can already guarantee you that Little Big Planet, Resistance 2, and HOME will drive the PS3 far past the 360 this holiday season. Gears can do whatever it wants. It doesn't stand a chance.

thats just what i was gonna say!

[LittleBigSackBoy]

If you think THAT'S funny wait until you get a RROD you'll piss yourself

[Sena Kobayashi]

whats the name of this site again? News for gamers??? I swear i saw N4H ... news for haters.

im of to another thread with my MAX SPEED!!

[dragunrising]

I find the article a little biased frankly. Why does only one console have to dominate over the holiday? If I remember correctly, each console sold millions of units last Christmas. Why would this year be any different? All three consoles should sell in access of a million. I sense bias when the author uses examples of Too Human and hardware failure to negate the success the Xbox platform will have this holiday. The game came out in August and (most) everyone is over it, whether they loved it or hated it. Hardware failure may still exist, but definitely not within the same frequency.

Xbox 360 and PS3 have at least 5 games a piece that should sell at least a million. The hardware for both is cheaper than a year ago and the demand is there to buy an HD-console. Granted the Wii continues to sell extremely well, there aren't many games for hardcore users like us on n4g. On the software side of things, the Wii doesn't appear to have anything of interest...Animal Crossing anyone? The point I'm trying to make is that its naive to think that one console will dominate when all three should have extremely good sales for the holiday.

[bneals]

I have never played LBP, but it looks both awesome and interesting. That people that have previewed it have given it a ton of praise. That said, is the core audience of PS3 owners really looking forward to this kind of game? This seems like a Wii-type game to me. I am not trying to put it down. This might be the greatest game ever - who knows? I am just having a hard time seeing how this type of game fits in with that demographic. I can see Resistance 2 doing much better than LBP in terms of sales. I think it is smart for Sony to have a diverse group of games for their buyers to purchase. As such, LBP is a great addition. I just don't see that audience saying to themselves - "wow, I can't wait to play Resistance 2 and LBP".

Also, is it just me or is Home stupid? Before you call me a fanboy I think the new XBox Experience -- or whatever they call it -- is also stupid. Any "gamer" who would be swayed by either isn't a gamer at all. Let me get this straight. You paid somewhere between $400 and $600 for your console so you can live in an avatar based world. Wow...that sounds like fun. I would much rather do that than say, play games. If Home is the PS3's "ace in the hole" then this is going to be a bad holiday season. I don't know a single adult aged 18-35 (the core audience) who would by a console for a feature like home. Maybe it is me, but the people that spend all day on second life need a first life. That is friggin' pathetic.

I would say that Gears 2 will sell the most this season. I don't necessarily mean that it will be the best game out there. Right now, Resistance 2 looks better and seems to have more depth. Still, there is a bigger 360 base in the US and shooters do very well with our audience.

[Shane Kim]

Please bots, please...this is not me trying to advertise for Sony, but please get yourselves a PS3. I can't stand how miserable you are as Sony is crushing anything Microballs have come up with. I fell sorry for you bots, I really do.

[baodeus]

@Leon
Why don't they just buy a stand alone blue ray for the movie?

[sephy 9 2 5]

Word of mouth is the reason why they don't. PS3 is the popular choice.

[baodeus]

Sephy:

What about the Sony stand alone blue ray player or Samsung or any other company that make BlueRay player? There would be no need for them since PS3 is obviously a better choice.

[DaTruth]

A PS3 is both a present for you and your kids. Sounds good in these tough economic times.

[eagle21]

NO doubt about it.

[CaitSith]

I'll be buying myself Resistance 2 (love the first one!), Motorstorm 2 (orgasmic, much?), LittleBigPlanet (Day one buy for me), WipeOut HD (One of the first games I've played in PS1 right beside Crash Bandicoot), Valkyria Chronicles and a Pink Nintendo DS for my girlfriend. *SHH* lol.. Yup..Good times, indeed. =] I'll be spreading the love this christmas ^^

EDIT: I know my girlfriend loves the DS, but I have no idea what game to get her! I don't want to ask her what game she'd know I'll be getting her a DS if I did.. Any recommendation for good games that a girl would like?...Maybe Mario Kart..XD

[PSWe60]

period

[chfthnder26]

what the sony fans seem to be forgetting is that xbox360 has a bigger library and when ur christmas shopping for people who dont have a 360 or ps3 the price and game library plays a bigger role than just the new games coming out and also u guys talk like all these potential ps3 sales r gonna be made because of R2 and LBP. Resistance was garbage im sorry to say i can say this because i have a ps3 and i played the game so i know what im talking about and secondly casual gamers arent gonna go out and buy a ps3 for LBP true it may sale alot of copies but i seriously doubt if it will move a ton of systems when u can get a wii or the 360 which has a ton of old school and casual for a cheaper price than both of the other systems
