It's a do-or-die year for Sony, and judging from the lineup, it can be done. With many of its heavy-hitting exclusives finally finding their way to release, the PlayStation 3 is looking more and more attractive as a platform.
I'm not too sure it's as drastic as 'do or die'. Next year is definitely looking to be an exciting year in terms of games and I for one am worried at how I'm going to be able to afford all of them!!
So what is so different between 2008 and 2007??? Lair, Genji, Untold Legends, NBA 08, Folklore, Heavenly Sword, Eye of Judgement, etc... were all crap. So what makes you think the exclusives in 2008 will be any better???
Software sales is what makes the real money in the gaming biz and the ps3 isn't cutting it. Uncharted has completely failed. UT3 sold 70,000 it its first week. That's called a sales flop kiddies. So why is 2008 all of a sudden going to magically fix everything??? MGS and GT will definitely help but all the other games you always like to mention in your ps3 lists are probably going to be another failure.
Come on man, don`t go all green here ;) Uncharted is a great game, as is Ratchet and Heavenly Sword, even though the last one was a bit too short as most people will agree on. Let`s wait and see until after christmas before we conclude how they and UT3 sold.
MGS4 and GT5 will help ? Yeah i would think so. LBP is going to be massive. Killzone 2 could be great, as could Home, The Getaway, Infamous, Echochrome. Resistance 2 and Motorstorm 2, i would suspect would do "alright" in the sales department. Wipeout should be first class fun. And i havn`t even mentioned any third party stuff, let alone the games Sony hasn`t announced yet themselves, (will GoW3 make it in 2008 by the way ?) and third party exclusives (like Rockstar`s secret project)
Trust me, 2008 won`t be a bad year for the PS3. Stop saying games suck because of the platform they`re on, and judge the games for themselves. Or if that`s troubling, pretend they`re on "your" console. Seems to work for Mart ;)
Pathetic, first it was too expensive, then it's no games, then it's not selling enough.. what's next? it's not an xbox? you're running out of excuses, and don't reply with an even more pathetic excuse or insult.
im looking foward to 2008 it gamers year. Am i allowd to say gamers or do i have to but ps3 or xbox instead?
I Cant wait for Brothers in arms HH Halo wars Killzone 2 niga gaiden Mgs4 gt5 fable 2 gtaIV saint row 2 hopefully God of war 3 and gears 2 and many more from the related content list.
I don't think FFXIII can make it to 2008. As for the rest of the year, PS3 only needs 3 games and hopefully will be getting them in time: Little Big Planet Killzone 2 MGS4
there are some huge differences between the games you named and the games comming in 2008:
-when the games release the ps3 install base will be much higher than at the time when the games you named released.
-the marketing of these games will not be on low-key like these games that you named.
-ps3 wasnt marketed on the wide-scale that 180 and wii were, sony is just now marketing like its supposed to.
-the games in 2008 are actual proven, original playstation ONLY franchises, the only original exclusive this year was ratchet and clank, and that wasnt marketed near HALO 3 level.
-HYPE, that is worth it
-there are so many of the playstation 2 fanbase awaiting metal gear 4 alone just to get a ps3, and note this game will not be availible on ps2, as well as any other platform, so no choice but to buy a ps3.
-there are millions of people from all platforms awaiting Killzone 2, this is a HUGE system seller
-there are millions of ps2 fanbase waiting for FF13 and versus, expect ps3 to traumatize the competition with these games
-the games of 2008 are cg level for ps3 that is, in realtime people that dont even play games will be wanting a ps3 just for a chance to play them.
-the games of 2008 for ps3 will have no criticism cause they will be beyond the e3 2005 presentation, no more "sony lied"
-WARDEVIL(movie game realtime)
-Eight Days
youll see, the ps3 has already made drastic sales boosts, 2008 will make ps3 sales overflow
I'm going to be so broke in 2008. I really hope one of the Final Fantasy games makes it in 2008. I don't know about you guys but right now I'm digging FF Versus 13 over FF 13.
Home Killzone 2 Little Big Planet Echochrome GTA 4 Resistance 2 Brothers In Arm Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Endwar In-game XMB
me too! thats actually my third most wanted list on the ps3!!! However I don't know if it will sale very well in NA though, so maybe thats why he didn't put it on the list. Don't care though its going to be great!
Ps3 owners please stop with the lineup . As a ps3 owner I know whats coming and it sweet . It makes no sense to keep posting the lineup for 08 since every ps3 owners in here know we got the goods coming . I am going to write this for the million time . ( If the xbot was so great everybody would have purchase one 2 years ago .) The ps2 is still strong and as you guys have been posting the lineup is good . SO DONT WORRY BE HAPPY .... SMOKE SOME WEED
Ok so i just finished smoking. For real. Was going to anyway. What i can say is this. Sony needs to stop making PS2's and games for it. I think its hurting PS3 sales. It has to be when PS2 sales dominate the charts. I also believe that when MGS4 releases that hardware sales will see a dramatic boost. Same with the others. And please remember, PS1 and PS2 had the same exact start the PS3 did. Some of you guys are too young to remember. The PS3 will do well. I cant wait for 08.
im looking forward to 2008. Sony's year.
I'm not too sure it's as drastic as 'do or die'. Next year is definitely looking to be an exciting year in terms of games and I for one am worried at how I'm going to be able to afford all of them!!
No one gives a crap what a site like shacknews.com has to say about the console market.
They should go back to crying over the dying pc game market...
