Two Factors Which Could Save PS3 In The Console War

Sony is having a tough time competing with Nintendo's Wii and Microsoft's Xbox 360 in the console war, but there are two factors which could possibly save PS3. First thing is that PS3 is the cheapest Blu Ray player and PS3 has made Blu Ray quite famous, so people have started buying PS3 for the Blu Ray player and as they are buying it they probably don't mind waiting for some good games to hit PS3. Ya i agree that there are hardly any games in PS3 right now, but someday or the other the games are bound to come.

It’s amazing that a game like Resistance Fall of Man is only using 20-25% of the PS3’s full potential, this is the second factor which could make PS3 the next generation gaming console. Imagine what games in future will be like. I guess such games will hit PS3 in late 2007 or early 2008, but that would prove to be boom time for PS3. I observed that such a thing had happened with Sony's earlier console PS2, Initially the quality of the games which hit PS2 was not that good but lately the graphics and other stuff was just amazing. Here is a quote that Sony's CEO Howard Stringer stated in a CNET interview.

Lost in the shuffle is the fact that the current games that are out there are only using about 20 percent to 25 percent of the [PS3’s] bandwidth. Once the publishers’ excitement reaches a level of intensity that they start using more of the bandwidth, that will create additional excitement.
