The Xbox 360 has had a great time at the top of next-gen games choice, having started many months before the Sony Playstation 3, the 360 had time to build up a massive collection of video games and also release budget titles as well. When the Sony PS3 was first released it had a very small collection of games all at full price, while the 360 had much cheaper games in its collection, so its not surprising that the Xbox 360 looked so much better. Other than Blu-ray and RROD problems, the PS3 did not have much going for it in the short-term. Now that we are in 2008, the games lineup for the PS3 looks really good for the rest of this year and 2009, it has now been proven that being first out the door with their next generation games console, has not helped Microsoft in the long-term and only benefited it in the short-term.
The Sony PS3 looks to be the better positioned console now and not only the more stable hardware, but also a machine that games developers will be able to produce video games with a lot more thanks to the Blu-ray discs and the Cell processor. Sony have just announced the line up of its highly-anticipated exclusive software, the games line-up will include more than 15 games across all PlayStation platforms. The PS3 will be getting big games like SOCOM: US Navy SEALs Confrontation on September 16, 2008, LittleBigPlanet in October 2008, and Fall 2008 will see NBA 09, About BUZZ! Quiz TV, MotorStorm Pacific Rift, Resistance 2 and finally Killzone 2 in February 2009.
Many Xbox 360 gamers are coming over to the PS3 for different reasons and one that I have heard from several people was about paying for Xbox Live when the PS3 gives PSN for free. It’s not a large sum of money for Xbox Live and you do get a lot for your money, but some gamers still like the idea of getting it for free on the PS3. The PLAYSTATION Network community has seen massive growth and has 8 million accounts registered world wide, its members have made more than 140 million downloads to date. PLAYSTATION®Home will only increase the popularity of the Playstation 3 as it will be integrated into many other services and games.
