Quote:Sony is gonna hit with Home, but even then they still have to get people interested in the system and in Bluiray which is already getting the boot by retailers like the UMD format. What's really horrible is that with PSX and PS2 I could find 5 games atleast that I would enjoy playing, going all the way back to Warhawk and Jumping Flash to FFT, the Castlevania games, Silent Hill series, etc. But I actually dont have any interest for any game on the PS3.
The PS1 did have a pretty good lineup in its first few months... Warhawk, Jumping Flash, Ridge Racer, Toshinden, etc... PS2 didn't, but the hype was enough that that didn't matter, and it had some huge exclusives by its second holiday season (late '01) -- MGS2, DMC, FFX... but the PS3? Not only does it have a weak early lineup, almost all of the best games out so far or coming this year are multiplatform. The recent DMC4 to X360 announcement (Sony fans are so, so unhappy this week... :D) is just one of many signs of this... the PS3 is not a total failure, but it clearly is not heading in the direction of the PS1 or PS2, and there aren't any games coming anytime soon that could change that. MGS4 is the only major exclusive this year I can think of... there's no way FFXIII/FFversusXIII will be out in '07. If they end up PS3 exclusive...
Quote:There's that upcoming Small World or whatever it's called that looked like fun, it had sort of a Pikmin without the pikmin look and feel to it (playing as tiny explorers). But I dont see that super charging interest in PS3.
What was that game's name... Little Big World, I think. Yeah, it did look good. Not the greatest thing ever, but solid fun... but yes, not a system seller. Home might be... we'll see.
