People are calling the Playstation 3 a failure already. But here's something these people need to keep in mind:
Zero of the exclusive games that made the Playstation 2 such a run away success have had their sequels released on the Playstation 3 as of yet. Sure, the new and successful "Resistance" franchise has had its start, but that's it.
Gran Turismo, Ratchet and Clank, Jak, Tekken, Metal Gear Solid, God of War, Dark Cloud, Monster Hunter, SOCOM, and Kingdom Hearts have yet to have their latest installments release.
Final Fantasy XIII's exclusivity is quite the hot topic right now, but remember that the only other console Final Fantasy XIII (It is confirmed that spinoffs will appear on other consoles, but I'm talking about FFXIII) could appear on would be Xbox 360. This would be a blow to the Playstation 3 in North America and Europe, but so far the Japanese aren't buying 360s. Japan will go crazy for the Playstation 3 version of Final Fantasy XIII no matter what.
Playstation 3 may be in a slump right now, while only new exclusives are rolling out this first year until late Q3, but once the old franchises start to release the new installments, sales will pick up.Â
