Since Sony now has:
-Good price (was its main disadvantage)
-Profit = guaranteed future+support
-won the HD battle (all the players will choose a blue ray player instead of a dead format)
-Sony now has full access to all multi platform games developers and they have access to all the tech details they hadnt so far.
Sony entered the next gen war with a handicap, starting a year later, but they ensured this time they would have superior hardware, just like the xbox had over psone. Some of the gaming devs had no time to prepare their, multi-platform games for every console and Sony had to pay that price for being late and even when they did, some of the games werent optimized. Despite having slightly better hardware Sony ended up of having slightly worse editions of the same game, or having them not at all.
But now Sony is a part of the market, the devs have all the time necessary to create proper ports for the PS3 and furthermore to optimize them in a way that might stress PS3's hardware superiority. From now Sony turned their drawbacks to their advantage! And this year, mark my words, they will turn tables:vinny:
PS3 is now starting to be the most reasonable choice to invest, the only thing that sony lacks atm is great exclusive titles, MGS 4 is a part of great exclusive titles the PS3 will have this year, 1 year from now you will see the impact this will have to the market.
Exclusive games is a great console weapon, microsoft's choice for a quick cash, creating ports of the halo and Gears of War series might doom her.
But every console player knows that if you ever wonna enjoy God of War or MGS, you ve got to own a Sony console.
