When the Xbox came out, the PS2 had a tremendous lead. The Xbox was the most powerful of the three consoles then, but was slightly pricier, had virtually no foothold in the Asian markets and correspondingly, had a very action style of library, more suited to the North American and European markets.

Yet the Xbox came out slugging, swallowed down initial losses on the cost of each system, and earned a place in the market.

Now PS3 is in a position of catch up, but they don't seem to be playing to their strengths.

MGS4? Final Fantasy? GT5? To me, a library is like a hockey team. Tampa Bay had the powerful Richards-Lecavalier-St. Louis line.. yet even two years after winning the Cup and they don't even make the playoffs. Why? Star Power does not make up for depth.

Show me a Suikoden. Show me an Armored Core. Show me a MegaTen grindfest and a ShinMegamiTensei resetfest.

Then we can start talking about the future.

Note: I really don't follow gaming news, so if these titles are already in the works, substitute them with some of the dozens of other, perhaps not so lackluster or appreciated, PS2 exclusives.
