The first info about the PS3 launch in Japan is starting to hit. Looking at the launch line up games I can’t easily see any A class titles. Though until I get my hands on an import console in the next couple of weeks it is quite hard to pass judgment on the PS3.
I think in the long term the PS3 will still be a success even with all the bad press moves of late, being taken by Sony. The Xbox 360 just keeping getting better games. Waiting for Gears of War, out later this week, and looks like it will ship 360s. The XBox Live service is going to be very hard to beat. Microsoft know how to architect server oriented large scale infrastruce, and the software know how as well. So they have a massive head start over Sony. Lets see how the US PS3 release goes, next week already being hyped. Also the Wii launch is next sunday. I think if the rumors of the PS3 shipment shortages to the US turn out to be true. Then I think Microsoft are going to ship loads of 360s. Likewise if Wii are openly available in stores people will just buy those for Christmas. Sony’s launch lineup always is bad, lets hope that the European release has better titles at least.
