PS3 to Come Third?

Many of us have been saying it all along but it took an analyst to say it before it became news. It’s coming a year after the 360 for an extortionate price with games that don’t look any prettier, the sole exception being the new MGS. There’s no doubting the PlayStation brand strength but it’s already feeling like the 360 is seen as the hot new thing that costs less, just like the PlayStation was next to the Saturn. If nothing else, despite being one of their flagship titles Warhawk looks dreadful, a horribly derivitive futuristic shooter that’s surely up there with Fantavision when it comes to appealing launch titles.

Maybe this is wishful thinking from a guy who has never been a big Sony fan, but for all their cockeyness it seems about time they were taken down a notch by a failure. Sega thought they had an automatic win on their hands with the expensive Saturn and look how that turned out.
