380 PS3 Games by March 2008

Gary15 | June 21, 2007 | News | Playstation 3 
The new president of Sony has claimed that by March of 2008 there will be 380 games available to purchase for the PS3 as well as 180 Playstation network titles. Most of these games are planned within the current business year. Considering that there are only 60 PS3 titles currently available, they really have a lot of work to do.
Kazuo Hirai, the new president of Sony Computer Entertainment, has promised there will be 380 games released for PlayStation 3 by March 2008 - consisting of 200 retail titles and 180 PlayStation Network games.

Speaking to Japanese newspaper Nikkei Business Daily, Hirai explained that Sony plans to release this glut of games within the company's current business year, starting back in March 2007. That, fact fans, equates to seven PS3 released each week to meet Hirai's promise. Worldwide, there are currently 60 titles available for PS3 along with 50 PSN games, meaning Sony certainly has its work cut out.

Hirai also stated that Sony will work closely with videogame publishers to ensure better marketing, including events and in-store promotions, to bolster the PS3's sales.

    That's quite a feat, but I'm not surprised. i mean, hardly any decent games came out with it's release which is why they haven't had the success they'd hoped for.

    Sounds good in theory. I just hope that companies don't rush their games due to Sony pressuring them to get it out so that Sony fulfills their promise. At least with that many games there are bound to be at least 10 that I will actually want.

    That's great, but come on, most of them are gonna be multi-platformed games, so what's the big deal?
