Good fucking God. As much shit as Nintendo has gone through this past generation, lack of third party titles just plain seems like nit-picking compared to Sony's internal ass rape.
I am very curious as to what Sony has planned when they launch PS3. MGS4 will be the talk of the town but what do they have at launch to get things flowing? I mean this is just sad.
Business wise, this leaves a huge window open for MS and Nintendo. MS needs to release a bundle or a price drop or a stream of 3 to 4 AAA games and seriously grab the european market before sony has a chance. All Nintendo has to do is release their system. Europe isn't as far along with HD as we are, so no one really cares about the HD aspect anyway, and all the buzz around Wii and Zelda will be enough to grab europe's market away from any hope of Sony finding a place to niche out.
Couple all this with companies offering more support towards HD-DVD and HD-DVD players with a price between 3 and 5 hundred (as compared to a 600 PS3 or 1000 BRP) AND HD-DVD disks being cheaper to manufacture, you have a serious reason to make alot of popcorn and get comfy for a falling out that hasn't happened in this industry since Sega's death in the hardware world.
Sony's stock on Nasdaq can be found under the title - "KABOOM"
