Wow, you are going to choke on that one in the near future. That's
funny. I just hope Xbots like you and the Doug Jacobs troll are still
around to answer for your stupidity. The RMZ troll already has
disappeared several months before his Sony going out of business
deadline prediction. Amazingly, I think you've managed an even dumber
prediction.

I'm not going anywhere...but why are you lumping me in with his
predictions?

The PS3 stumbled out of the starting gate, and has yet to fully recover.

Even though the PS3 is getting UT3 for the holidays, it's losing Haze
until 2008. Personally, I'd think Haze was the more promising title.
After all, the PS3 needs more exclusives - not "me too" multi-platform
titles. Besides, UT3 is really going to be big on the PC, not the
consoles. Even getting UT3 before the 360 isn't going to do much - if
anything pushing the 360 release of UT3 out was a smart thing to do
especially when holiday shoppers and gamers for the 360 are faced with
Orange Box, Halo3, Mass Effect, not to mention non-exclusives like Guitar
Hero 3 and Rock Band.

In all seriousness, there's nothing in the PS3's library that makes buying
a PS3 a solid slam-dunk when compared to what the 360 and even the Wii are
fielding at this time. Sony has already lost the battle of Christmas
2008. Their strategy now is just do the best they can to minimize the
growing gap between themselves and their competitors. They need the PS3 to be
in the best position possible once the big hits start landing spring 2008.

If they fall TOO far behind the others, then it may not matter how
kick-ass Sony's lineup will be in 2008. It very well could be too little
too late as developers, unable to wait for the PS3 to "take off", will have
to take their games elsewhere, maybe even abandoning the PS3 altogether.

Black Friday should provide an interesting preview of the holiday season.
