In a press release issued today, Sony has announced that a few key games will be hitting the PlayStation 3 "throughout the year," most notably God of War III and the massive multiplayer shooter MAG.
Although there were no specific release dates given, it is the first confirmation that GOW III will actually make it to gamers' hands in 2009, quelling any rumors that production delays would ... [ read the full article ]

Quote:1) Sony just started making some profit. Price drop will not help. Lots of people are still amazed by the 360 exclusives.
2)I've played Xbox Live and I don't see what the fuss is all about. I play COD4 on it and it's basically playing COD4 on my PS3.
Just my opinion.
3)Exclusives doesn't boost sales up apart from the overrated Halo 3.
Again, my opinion.
4)True.. But I don't think that advertisements would do anything, apart from parents - the ones who know nothing about hardware- who will criticize it because of it's price compared to the 360.
I know the price drop would hurt sony but it would help them move more consols off the shelves. The biggest gripe i hear about PS3 for those that dont have one is the price.
Come on now their are other exclusives that boost sales besides Halo3. Neither console is running away with the majority release of exclusives at the current time as each seems to have a few exclusives to counter the other companies. Ex. Xbox360 releases Gears of War2 and around same time PS3 releases Resistance2. Back in the day PS2 just completely dominated the great exclusives and i do remeber all the URNOTE commercials they had. Those were the days..eeh? But like you said right now advertising willnot help them much at all. Not while one console is so much more expensive than the other.
Quote:Last week, exciting news broke for PlayStation fans when it appeared both God of War 3 and M.A.G. were confirmed for release before the end of the year. Sadly, we now have some unexciting news to temper those hopes, as it turns out God of War 3 and M.A.G. could potentially sneak into 2010 after all.
The confusion comes in the way Sony worded a press release for Killzone 2 last week. The release boldly stated that Killzone 2 would "usher in an unprecedented year" for the PlayStation 3, and went on to mention God of War 3 and M.A.G. But now Sony says that both games are schedule for release in this fiscal year, which runs into March 2010 (via Shacknews). That's not to say neither game will make it out in 09, but it does open the door to the possibility that we'll have to wait a few months into next year before we see them on store shelves.
Sure, it's potentially a little disappointing, but would that really be the worst situation in the world? If history is any guide, there will probably be too damn many games to play in the holiday season anyway.

Ridiculous but I'm sure that everyone had a little feeling that this was going to happen.
