Seriously, looks like Ratchet did not help and I do not think Uncharted will help that much either.

Forget multi-plats, X360 versions of Madden, Call of Duty, Guitar Herohave outsold the PS3 versions 3 or 4 to 1.

MGS 3 sold 3.6 million copies worldwide on 100 million PS2 user base. How many will MGS 4 sell on a user base that will be less than 10 million?

Killzone was a "Halo killer", so Killzone 2 should be a monster hit.

FF? In Japan? I don't think it will be too big of a commercial success here in the US.

GT5 should help, but will it be enough?

I wish I could direct you to the dozens of threads that have already covered this, but that's for you to find out.

nothing because Xbox 360 and Wii will conitnue to outsell for all of 2008... The playstation 3 has NO games worth buying that i want....I use to be a Sony FAN loved the ps1 and ps2 so...go back like a year or2 i wanted thhe PS3(what was i thinnking)... but then when it come out the price was tooexpensive and the games were s***.... But the xbox 360 was cheaper andhad games that i wanted to play...XBOX 360 FAN FOREVER...F***SONY youll never get money from me again LOL

Yeahmaybe PS3 should give up or makegoodgames....like the 360

and dontflame me about how thre ps3 is better and will win the console war..because we all know that it wont EVER

its the lowest selling console of this generation and will stay in 3rd till hell freezes over...

Current Sales figures from VG Chartz

Wii 13.87 million (16 million by end of year) my guess

360 13.19 million (15 million be end of year) my guess

PS3 5.75 million (7 million by end of year) my guess

BUT i still think metal gear solid 4 might help the ps3 unless it FLOPS lol

1. MGS4 - way more people know about the mgs franchise now, the ps2 franchise was mainly a cult fanbase...just a lot of them, but now its all over the place and this game WILL get a lot of advertisement.

2. Killzone 2 - Just because the first is bad doesnt mean the 2nd cant be better, it has a way higher budget, more people working on it, a lot more advertisement, and everyone is looking forward to it just to see if it can live up the standards that everyone has built up on it, Killzone 1 isnt even a factor at all, everyone saw that CG trailer and was like omg, and Killzone 2 dev's actually made it REALLY close to the video, and nobody thought that was possible, so that instilled a lot in people that this game might be better then everyone thinks it'll be.

3. LittleBigPlanet - everyone loves classic 2D games unless you're like 13 or something, and this game has that layout but with everything else you could want, imagine Mario in 2D but being able to create your own levels in seemingly infinite ways? thats awesome, this game most likely wont be a system seller, but it will get a cult fanbase, which is what the Playstation brand is about imo, they make cult games and over time those games turn into bigger franchises that are bound to succeed.

4. LA Noire - I love noir-films, detective-style in the 40s Los Angeles is THE perfect setting imo, it reminds me of L.A. Confidential in game form, Rockstar always delivers when it comes to open ended games like this.

5. Gran Turismo will sell a lot as usual

6. Final Fantasy will sell more in Japan, but you cant act like it wont sell at ALL in the US, theres millions and millions of US people that like japanese culture/games and just flat out love final fantasy, I just got into Final Fantasy like a few months ago and started playing FF7 and FF10 and im looking forward to 13.

7. Resistance 2 - Even though I didnt really like Resistance 1, I thought it was a halo copycat with a different setting, part 2 will definately be better, its gonna have the same formula as killzone, higher budget, more expectations, and the developers have something to prove that they can make a really great game.

8. God of War 3 - I cant stand games like this, but it will sell a lot because a lot of other people like it.

9. Tekken - Pretty much the most known console-fighter

10. Socom: Confrontation and Socom 4 - This is basically THE Sony/Playstation online game, I can confidently say socom is one of, if not the best online experience on Playstation so far, and has a huge fanbase by now.

11. The Getaway - I hated part 1, but im sure it'll get its name heard around like Saints Row

12. A new Twisted Metal ? - even though it hasnt been announced you never know
