That said, it's still charting fairly regularly and has apparently shifted over a million units so it's not done as badly as you might think.

I consider myself to be a pretty committed gamer, but as much as I admire the concept, I don't really feel it has much appeal to me at the moment. All this user-created content stuff is well and good and I completely understand there's a massive modding community out there, but does your average Johnny Gamer really want to spend time making stuff for the wider community or would they really be happier playing in a GTAIV-shaped sandbox instead...? Same goes for the Singstar / Buzz / Wii Sports / Brain Training crowd - those games are about quick fix, social gaming; not creativity and physics games. I worry that LBP may actually end up being more hardcore than most titles these days are, and that's not really what Sony need. LBP is an odd one.

I can see it going either way - either amazing sales or mediocre sales. No mid-ground. I'm going to gamble on the gaming public fancying something a bit different for a change. Oh shit, what a fool! Money down the drain! :-D Edit: and don't get me wrong on Resistance and Motorstorm, morriss - they do nothing for me either. But I think we already highlighted the fact that I'm 'special'.

I don't want to sound uber negative, but the reason why Resistance is still charting is because 'most' gamers like a shooter, and on the PS3 Resistance is all you've really got.

Yes, everyone is on about the 360's downloadable content, but I'm sure GTA IV will shift a few PS3s, as will Resident Evil 5. There might not be many games that are obvious system-sellers in and of themselves on the near horizon, but I think a lot of cash-strapped gamers play a bit of a waiting game and like to see a console reach a sort of critical mass before buying it. I'd predict a decent sales surge if and when Sony release the oft-rumoured 80Gb model over here too.

The first Resistance might not have set reviewers alight (now there's a nice thought) but it's sold a gazillion and it's still in the charts. Resistance 2 is likely to be a huge seller for them. Similarly, LBP is probably the most anticipated PS3 game to date. It might not have space marines doing oiled up bum se... shooting, but it'll have huge appeal outside of the hardcore gamer crowd. And it's got a look n' feel that drags people in, regardless of whether they've heard of the game or not. Monster hit, betcha. I don’t think you should underestimate either LBP or Resistance.

Last Christmas I was looking at MGS, GT, FF and Killzone for the end of 2008, and with that lot a huge hike would have been a no-brainer. None of those will be there now, and it seems they're relying instead on Resistance and LBP. Like, I'm sure they'll both be great, but I'm not convinced they're enough for that real explosion, especially if the price stays between 200-300.

I think it'll really depend on four things - how much they can reduce costs before Christmas, how well Blu-Ray sales do (and the corresponding prices of stand-alone Blu-Ray players), what the 360's Christmas line-up looks like and most importantly... how well the PS3 is selling by late summer. I should be an analyst. Give me money! This is Sony, though - they generally only reduce the price by ‘as little as they think they can get away with’.

The magic happens at 200, so it depends just how seriously they're taking the "long term" plan, imo. They’ve got to come down a bit, and I hope it’s more than that.

Even if it's just another £50 off. I’d be surprised not to see a cut in the run up to Christmas - October/November time. Even if it’s just another £50 off.

I still think the big variable is price. I guess it depends when they're thinking of making the big drop. Maybe it's too soon to approach 200 quid this year. True enough.

The analysts got burned at least once already. :-D Based on past performance it’s probably not a good idea to be too optimistic where PS3 sales are concerned.
