Lets just cut right to the chase. MGS and FF games have not been the primary reasons the PS systems did so well. They were nothing more then added bonuses. Look at FF and MGS sales they were not like god almighty system sellers.
The real dilemma and i mean DILEMMA for PS3 now is just it's entire game library. This is what made PS1 and PS2 so successful. This has all changed. The 360 has the big game library now and it's just not games it's AAA games and the public knows this now. This is why PS3 struggles and will continue to struggle. MGS4 and FF13 will be nothing more then a sales blip of an increase and then after a week or so will go back to the struggling PS3 that is has been and will continue to be.
Meanwhile why PS3 awaits these titles and delays. 360 just keep gathering and enormous plethora of AAA games. And the public has clearly seen the light on this.
How much you want to bet MS will release Banjo Threeie and Gears Of War 2 next holiday. And Game Over once again for Sony next holiday season.
Is a matter of FACT GEars is so poperlur now If MS releases Gears 2 next Holiday MGS4 and FF13 would be overshadowed by the general consumer. And Gears would be the big hot game to have for the Holidays.
Why you ask becuase GEARS RULESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS and everyone knows it. And when MS releases that it will be BY BY MGS4 and FF13 4rth holiday in a row MS has owned you.

Here is the problem with your post. You make the irrational mistake of thinking that just because the 360's library is the best right now, it always will be the best. You compound that mistake by thinking that because the 360 has the best library right now, it must be equal to the PS1 and PS2.
I'm not denying the 360 has an incredible library right now. You'd have to be insane to question that. However, compared to the PS1 or the PS2's libraries, the 360 is still extremely lacking. Having a couple of great RPGs on the 360 does NOT trump the literally dozens of RPGs that come out every single month for the PS2. I could say the same about practically every single genre...many of which neither the XBox OR the 360 had. Where is the tactics style rpgs? Where is the Xbox's answer to games like Ico or Shadow of Colossus? Or even Mario,Zelda, Sly Cooper, Ratchet and Clank (etc.) for that matter?
What I as a gamer want to know, is where are all these titles and genres and styles going togo? If they just disappear then ALL gamerssuffer.However, at the rate things are going on the 360, I can't see themgoing there. And although many of these games may not be AAA or "hardcore"enough for some people...it does matter.
