Sony's PS3 poised to grab limelight this year

26
Reuters writes: "If 2006 was the year of the Xbox 360 and 2007 was the year of the Wii, 2008 is shaping up to be PlayStation 3's turn in the spotlight, as it stokes demand in the $19 billion computer gaming industry with some hotly awaited game titles.

Exclusive PS3 titles like puzzle-solving, community-based game "LittleBigPlanet", production improvements that will give Sony room to cut prices, and the recent victory of its Blu-ray technology in the high-definition DVD format war, should drive demand for the games console."

2 months into 2008 and still all quiet on the Sony front. I'm not too sure it'll be such a big bang for PS3 in 2008 as everyone is saying.

4.3 - What?!
Blu-ray winning the HD format war was a huge bang for the PS3.

It will sell consoles and it is giving the PS3 some positive press.

Thats a good jump start if you ask me.

Ken Kutaragi's vision is aligning into place for the PS3.

As a gamer and an owner of PS3, Blu-ray winning has done nothing to fill my appetite for games I'm afraid. Maybe I'm wrong to say its quiet on the Sony front since Sony has a direct interest in the HD format war. I should have said quiet on the PS3 front thus far, and I think that's a fair statement from my visits to the gaming shop.

People need to just get used to theidea of the PS3 winning from here on out.

I still dont understand how people wrote them off, look at their track record, this is Sonys turf and they dont like to share.

if we all think 2008 is the PS3's year right now from all the info.. just imagine what sony will reveal at E3. I'm pretty sure they'll add a few secret weapons to the momentum

7 - ps3's year
i think it will be the PS3's year this year. They still dont have anything that makes me want to buy one yet but its getting close. For me, they still have no awesome games out for it.

Im a Sony Fan, i owned the PSone and PS2 before going for a 360. I was tired of waiting for the PS3 and when i bought one i sold it after two weeks because i wasnt playing on it, all the games werent as good as my 360 games. There is still no game out yet that makes me want to buy back my PS3.

Sony has many things in the works for beyond 2008. I'm sure they do....but I just don't want the PS3 to have this year be Sony's only BIG year.
