Well, there's also not very many good games out for the PS3 yet (at least, what I see from EB games).
When GoW 3 and GTA 4 come out, I'm getting a PS3, come hell or high water.
Cheapo.

Why don't you just give it some frikkin concrete words, solid guestimates, instead of some nonsense about sales and predictions. ... I could go on, but, I am not gonna..
It's nonsense to guestimate that the companies are not going to be making for the ps3. That rumor is done and over with.
no one with a brain is going to say fuck you ps3, 360 i love you and will defend you
GTA 4 come out also for the 360. (I think)
What is GoW.
Either way, the ps3 will have the games you expect from sony, just as most all of the games are cross platform, anyway.
I wouldn't take chances with the ring of death personally (360), unless you want to, it also has some high quality games though.
Blue Ray player kicks ass.
Meh. Sony rocks! Go sony.
I'm just calling it like it is, and I'm not the only one. Developers and other people in the biz can speak for themselves. I'll just stay quiet from now on and post only their words. That better?

Uh, I already have given my opinion on the matter. Any charts and sales predictions I've given have been from Sony's side, so you're the one doubting their success, even though you seem to be cheering for it.
No it's not considering I've posted a couple articles about companies moving away from the PS3, whole franchises even. Just the names Take-Two Rockstar, Ubisoft, Koei, and Capcom are a huge ouch. Games off the top of my head: Grand Theft Auto IV, Assassin's Creed, Devil May Cry IV, Virtua Fighter 5, Virtua Tennis 3, Beautiful Katamari, Fatal Inertia, rumors of Metal Gear, Monster Hunter 3, Bladestorm, Ace Combat, Armored Core, Smackdown Vs Raw, Ridge Racer, Enchanted Arms, Saints Row, Kingdom Hearts 3. Who knows what else in the future.

Sony's Lost Exclusives: A Timeline
By Chris Kohler EmailJuly 02, 2007 | 5:00:03 PMCategories: Console Games
Having spent a lot of time this afternoon thinking about all the exclusives that PlayStation 3 has lost over the last tumultuous year, we here at Game|Life decided to catalog them in the runup to E3.
I'm not listing franchises that had been exclusive to Sony systems but now have Xbox versions, because that's not the point and because I don't want to be here all day. The exception to this rule is when a publisher was pursuing an exclusive, but Sony didn't sign on. As in the case of...
Grand Theft Auto IV -- Peter Moore shocked the world at E3 last May when he announced that GTAIV would appear day-and-date on Xbox 360 and PS3. Months later, Newsweek reported that Take Two had wanted to continue its long-standing practice of giving Sony a lengthy timed exclusivity on the game, but they didn't want it.
Newsweek says that former Sony Computer Entertainment president Ken Kutaragi's "radio silence" on the issue left Sony's American execs without the authority to make deals, and nothing happened. Same with...
Assassin's Creed -- Again, Newsweek revealed that Ubisoft had actually gone to Sony with an offer to make the game a PlayStation 3 exclusive. Although Sony did go through the trouble of asking Ubisoft to make it seem as if their multiplatform action game Assassin's Creed was indeed PS3 exclusive , it came out shortly after E3 that it would ship simultaneously on both platforms.
The brief flirtation with pretend exclusivity at E3 that year did get Assassin's Creed noticed, winning it several "PlayStation 3 Game of the Year" awards that it wouldn't have won otherwise. Very similar to what happened with...
Devil May Cry IV -- Another game that was said to be one of the biggest reasons to buy PlayStation 3, and easily the best PS3 title playable at Tokyo Game Show in 2006. A few months later, it was multiplatform, with a simultaneous release date.
Virtua Fighter 5 -- PlayStation 3 fans, count your blessings: at least you're enjoying Virtua Fighter 5 now, instead of later this year when Xbox 360 owners will get their version. Still, though, it's one more exclusive gone.
Beautiful Katamari -- Now, we're getting into the realm of games that PlayStation 3 might have lost entirely. Beautiful Katamari was originally announced for a multiplatform release, but according to Newsweek (helped along by Namco Bandai's curious reticence on the subject), the PS3 version has been junked and it's now Xbox 360-only.
Fatal Inertia -- Originally announced in 2005 as a PlayStation 3 launch title, Koei's racing game first was delayed into this year, then went multiplatform. This morning, it was announced that the PlayStation 3 version is "delayed indefinitely" due to issues with Unreal Engine 3. Where this leaves Koei's BladeStorm -- also announced as a PS3 title, also delayed, also made multiplatform -- is unclear. Koei says its status is not affected as it doesn't use UE3.
What's remarkable about many of these high-profile titles is that they are all from Japanese publishers, who historically have been resistant to the idea of multiplatform games in the first place. Market realities have had a profound effect, and very quickly, on their business practices. Sony is lucky that Xbox 360 was such a non-starter in Japan, because otherwise it would be ever more doubtful that game makers would bother putting together PS3 versions of their games at all.
What's Next? -- The two major remaining third-party exclusives for PlayStation 3 are Metal Gear Solid 4 and Final Fantasy XIII. Konami has certainly never been resistant to putting Metal Gear titles on different hardware; witness Twin Snakes on GameCube and Substance on Xbox. And Microsoft is likely gunning hard for the game. Also, Konami probably prefers making money to losing truckloads of it. All things considered, I'm pretty sure it's already a done deal, given the fact that we hear very credible rumors about it once a week or so.
So that really only leaves Final Fantasy XIII. We know that Square Enix is not blind to the changes in the market. Last Remnant, their latest RPG franchise, will be released simultaneously on both platforms.
Also, Final Fantasy XIII's release is a long, long way off. The EGM crew says that they will miss their stated goal of having a playable demo ready for E3. And Square Enix says the game won't hit until after March 2008.
So does that mean it'll end up on 360? Ehhhhh no. Maybe. Possibly. No. It could remain PlayStation 3 exclusive, although Square Enix would make way more money if it wasn't. But it's not one of those no-brainers like Metal Gear. We'll see where E3 takes us. Maybe the FFXIII logo will be tattooed on Peter Moore's chest.

High PS3 costs prompt Capcom to move to Wii
Matt Martin 15:53 (BST) 10/10/2007
Monster Hunter 3 now a Nintendo exclusive
Capcom has said that the high development costs of working on the PlayStation 3 are the reason the publisher is moving its latest Monster Hunter title to the Nintendo Wii.
Previous Monster Hunter games were Sony exclusives for the PS2 and PSP, and the company has enjoyed considerable success with the franchise clocking up sales of over 4.5 million units.
"Due to high development cost of titles for PS3, we have decided to switch the platform to which we release our Monster Hunter 3 title," said Katsuhiko Ichii, Capcom's managing corporate officer, according to Thompson Financial.
Capcom revealed Monster Hunter 3 for the Wii at a recent Nintendo press briefing, although it had originally said the game would appear on the PlayStation 3.
The publisher said earlier this month that it was now shifting its development strategy for Sony products to the PlayStation 3, where previously it had dedicated the majority of its efforts on the PlayStation 2.
I'm doubting as much as I can. I have just read in my magizine for example, that the Ps3 has outsold the Xbox 360s first three months in launch. By a grand total of 50,000 units. Not bad! The only thing that I really do not get, about your sales totals ... well, I guess I'll shut my mouth. There's a lot, and it's hard for me to find the proper words.Uh, I already have given my opinion on the matter. Any charts and sales predictions I've given have been from Sony's side, so you're the one doubting their success, even though you seem to be cheering for it.
No it's not considering I've posted a couple articles about companies moving away from the PS3, whole franchises even. Just the names Take-Two Rockstar, Ubisoft, Koei, and Capcom are a huge ouch.

Yeah, Lol
GoW 3 will likly be a Ps3 exclusive...
Just as any other Playstation exclusive should be.
What the heck X BOX EXCLUSIVES are we looking forward to?
lol
Fable?
Come on...
No my friend.
Rockstar is making GTA for the Ps3 and the 360. This is well known.
These are not moving away from the ps3, it wouldn't hurt to have them be multi-platform.
If they are nothing but multi-platform, I see the same games being multi-platform for the ps3.
fable will likely be a timed exclusive and bladestorm i think is a ps3 only at least i have yet to hear about it being on the 360
Oh, haha, my bad, I just noticed my typo. I was wondering what Pjdude was talking about when he said Kingdom Hearts was gonna be on the PS3. Sorry, when I said "No it's not considering I've posted a couple articles about companies moving away from the PS3, whole franchises even.", I coulda swore I typed in something about losing exclusives to crossplatforming, etc. I didn't mean to say that list of games aren't gonna be on the PS3 anymore as most of em are, only a couple aren't, most of em are crossplatform. I was merely trying to show some games that were previously PS3 exclusives, but lost em either completely or to crossplatform.
Yeah, but multiplatform games cuts into the sales of one another especially when a game would normally be considered a system mover. And when someone has to choose between two systems, they tend to go with the one that has the larger library of established games. Games being multiplatform only helps the dominate console which the PS3 has yet to become.
