The mood is changing over the PS3
If you have been following the gaming scene you must have noticed it. The mood is changing over the PS3. Just one year after it was introduced, Sony’s latest console is getting better press and less hate from bloggers. As a results sales are rocketing and Sony looks again like a strong contender.
Many credit the PS3 revival on the US$100 price cut recently announced by Sony. My personal opinion is that gamers are finally starting to understand the true potential of the PS3. Since last year, HDTVs have continued to gain popularity and are now becoming mainstream. HDTV owners want high-def content and the PS3 delivers both high definition games and movies right out of the box. Suddenly, the Nintendo Wii doesn’t look as cool as last year and buyers are left with only two viable options and the PS3 is the cheapest. The timely release of some great exclusive titles such as Ratchet and Clank and Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune is also helping. These games are finally showing what this console is capable of.
Last year Sony got a lot of bad press for releasing the PS3 too late. It turns out that they may have launched it one year too soon.
