IGN - The PS4’s on the horizon, but the PS3’s still trucking.
When I was in New York City attending the PlayStation 4 reveal, I started to think a lot, ironically, about PlayStation 3. Sitting with well-known Sony executive Shuhei Yoshida and picking his brain about PS4, it became clear that the new console was a separate ecosystem. PS3 games – both digital and retail – won’t work on PS4, and it seemed like Sony may be slowly closing the book on PlayStation 3.
But that doesn’t mean that 2013 hasn’t been and won’t continue to be a great year for PlayStation 3 exclusives. Delving into the depths of IGN’s games database, I found a lot more of them than I expected. Sure, I’ve heard of all of these games and even previewed and otherwise written about others, but I didn’t quite do the math in my head until I saw it all before me: PS3 gamers have a lot to look forward to in 2013. Some of these games have already come out; most others are still on the horizon.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
gow, last of us n gta 5 will keep me busy until the realase of the Black Beast (PS4)
GT6 is on that list, it's not confirmed yet...
& there u have it folks.. In the year ending up to the PS4, PS3 still releases MANY great exclusives that are unrivaled by ANY of the competition... Sorry xbox & wii u, PS3 b*tch slapped both of u & hasnt even begun its PS4 onslaught
Fair play PSTriple! I'm keen to grab one after the next price cut, if only for Ni no Kuni...
...this is so cool. The PS3 has so much momentum so late in its cycle that I can even wait a whole year after Ps4 launches and still feel my hardware is relevant.
How many 'other console manufacturers can you say that about?
...Not many
