Sonys need help now.

ok Sonys has its ass in the fire right now.

With it slow system sells, low attachment rate, and selling ps3's at a lose.

This is extremely bad especially. The playstation is sonys main profit maker and a huge factor in their blu-ray market. When sonys in trouble that they have to take out a loan for a reason I cant remeber. This could mean that if Playstation tanks the whole company will fall.

This holiday seaon's will see a big spike in 360 and wii sales because of halo 3, Super smash brother,a dn many other titles.

The ps3 at most this season has for exclusives is rachet , uncharted, warhawk, and heavenly sword on their side to advertise. Which isnt much compared to the competion.

HOw can they even recover.

and I plan to get a ps3 this holiday so Im not bashing

The only great thing that makes me want a PS3 is the fact its good stable hardware. I think that is helping it to sell, after people get so many problems with the 360 some just get fed up and decide to get a PS3 or even a Wii.

But yeah, 360 is where the great games are. PS3 has some, but not as many.

it really doesn't matter anymore because we all know the Wii won. its like trying to learn how to swim while you are drowning.dobbywii

Nah, the PS3 needs help, not Sony. As stated before, they sell enough hardware on their own.

They were just out of touch with their fanbase when it came to the PS3 launch. Seems like they're beginning to put the pieces together and I'm sure PS3 owners (including myself) will have their share of games to play this generation.

I'm sorry butI think people tend to over look the strengh of some of PS3's first party games. Ratchet & Clank for example is huge in Japan, Europe and America. It has a gained a good amount of appeal for both young and mature gamers (from play the PS2 versions). And when the casual consumers (PS2 owner /interested in platformers or looking for something new) sees the game on store shelves, I think they'll say "hey, I remember that. The PS2 ones were awesome. I wonder what it will be like on PS3?"

And that's not all, with titles like Burnout Paradise, Uncharted, LittleBigPlanetready toshow off what the PS3 can do, there is no reason to suggest that this war has already been decided.

I think there's a very good chance Ps3 really is future proof. But that won't matter if it doesn't survive the present.

Ps3 has a decent library this years end, most are multi-plat but they are still great games like COD4, AC and UT3. And recently, they changed their marketing strategy to push Ps3 as a blu-ray player.

If it manages to survive the present, MGS4 shows the advantage of blu-ray for games and Blu-ray format really take place as the next standard, Ps3 might bounce back and ultimatly win the war(by a very small margin). Not factoring in the impact of Home, its 2nd place in japan market and Europe that is still up for grabs.

It's Sony's biggest problem, they have a lot of potential(PSP integration, Blu-ray, Home), but underdeliver more the often. It's like 1up said, 2008 is make or break for Ps3.

And by SW standards, nothing will help Ps3 from flopping. It won't have the same marketshare as ps1 and ps2 not even by a miracle.

Sony needs to do all it can to make blu-ray mainstream and start making some good old fashioned kiddy platformers that little billy will piss on his wii (no pun intended) to get.

Casual market = bigger than ever
