It is more than evident that Sony may be having some problematic issues this generation with the Playstation 3. With two very eager competitors fighting to take Sony’s crown and the lack of third party exclusives, Sony may be in a position that they have yet to encounter in the gaming industry: Trouble. PCN takes a step back to look at the PS3’s advantages and disadvantages, but most importantly, what it will need to do to overcome the competition.

    Hmm...They seem pretty confident indeed. At the moment I think Xbox 360 is leading, but that's my opinion. For Sony to get more sellings, there going to have to lower the price down.

      lol its not your opinion, its a fact; the 360 is leading. I don't think anyone can make any real predictions about the PS3's fate until later this year. I has only been out for months and a bucket load of highly anticipated games will be out this fall. I think Sony will have a big year in the second half. If they don't make a move this year, then they have big problems. However, if MGS4 and FFXIII don't come out until next year, then they still have many games coming out, that will have to hold them over until then.

    I for one am staying loyal to Sony and getting a PS3. They may have a slight disadvantage so far, but they are much more experienced in the games industry than Microsoft, so I'm sure they can pull off a few stunts.

    Well Sony must have been boosted by FF and MGS staying loyal, they're surely console war winner, FF Vs Halo? FF will easily sell the same if not more games that Halo. Then, assuming they both sell the same MGS kicks in, sells more Xbox have no reply to that.

    Basically on similar lines to waht Catfire said, have the PS1, PS2, now have a PS3, people can doubt the console and the games not stayin exclusive all they want, thats up to them, i think they will pull it off, they would of went through this before they released the console, and as stated they have been around the games industry for a much longer time, bring on MGS an Ressie 5

    You know i think sony will win with surprise titles rather than exclusives. But, exclusives will help.

    The problem with third party exclusives is that they will change to which ever console has the best market penetration. Sony needs to get sells up or Konami and SquareE will pull out.

    All the industries can win. They just need to focus in a "special point". In this case, the price should be lowered before doing something else.
    That's my opinion.

    Never say never for Sony. They could pull a quick one on all of us. But I think maybe in a year we will see things change with the PS3 but that's not to say Nintendo and Microsoft will change as well.

    The nintendo current state is all luck. They said its very very surprising that its selling this good. But remember, something that gets sales and such at rapid speeds quickly finds themselves destroyed later. Its like the story with tortoise and the hair, the hair was winning with speed and cockyness kinds like nintendo and xbox thinking they will win. However ps3 being a sleeping giant waiting to be fully awakened, is the tortoise step by step and taking there time and bam they win and the turtle. You see its all luck. And something thats a fad and gets awesome fanbase way to quickly gets burned out. Here is another example: ppl who love racing and such kinda like fast and the furious. They race and they think hey lets use full out speed with NOS and bam they starting pwning everyone. However the wise person knows you need to wait b4 using it and then they use it and goes by you while you being stunned and shocked on how it happened. The wise person in this case is sony.
