The PS3 is NOT Dead

The PS3 is NOT dead! Sony is NOT dead! Despite all the hearsay about the PS3 going under and not being able to survive, I want to point out some facts that a lot of people have missed.

1.
Sony has two consoles selling right now. People have to remember that the PS3 is not the only Sony system selling right now. The PS2 is still out on the market, and is still getting good games. If Sony was really going under w/ PS3 sales, don’t you think they would abandon the PS2 and put extra effort in the PS3? Sony isn’t dead, yet.
2.
2009 will bring more AAA exclusives to the PS3 than to the 360. Games like White Knight Chronicles, Heavy Rain, God of War III, and Kill Zone are only some of the titles that will be released for Sony. Then there’re online games such as Fat Princess and Flower 2 that have to potential to be big hits as well.
3.
Final Fantasy XIII will be released a year early for the PS3. Yes, I under stand that FFXIII will be released for the 360 as well, but a year may be a long enough time to convince some people to buy a PS3 just to play FFXIII when it first comes out. It is FFXIII and does have quite a cult following, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it did.
4.
The hardware is already more powerful than the other two systems. It’s been reported that the maximum capability of a 360 is only 70-80% of a PS3. Can you imagine how much better 360 games would look like on a PS3?


Now, I realize that Sony is not going to trump Nintendo or Microsoft in the coming year, but it definitely will not die out. The 360 will survive off of the multi platform games like Street Fighter IV and such simply because there are more people who own a 360 then there are people who own a PS3.

So, yes, Sony is in a tight spot, and could quite possibly sink, but they could start to swim and make a come back in the coming year.
