Maybe not, but it certainly increases your odds. I'm trying to throw Sony a bone, here. It's my charity of the day.

yeah, sony has been getting shit on recently.

200 games? Sounds like PR lies... just doesnt seem like a reasonable number right now. I mean how many games do they have to this point, like 12?

A whole slew of crappy Cabela ports is due any day now by this assertion.

Add to that every EA sports game save MLB will be 2008 by then, throw in some 2k sports, and you're 1/4 there.

Maybe they'll release 30 SingStar DVD's and call those in that 200 total they're predicting.

Woah, loads of games!

I can totally buy them after I buy that 500$ system! WAIT NO I CANT'T

An empty promise, that sure makes me want to buy a ps3. This is Waiting.

Do they still have the middle finger included with the system, er, I mean Talladega Nights?

So basically, they have to put out 9-10 games a week for the next year straight. And 5-6 of those have to be brand new, non-downloadable titles.

Seriously, though, are there even going to be 10 brand new games released every week in general? All systems combined?

Ha, nine to ten a games a week. While I admire Kaz's PR optimism, that ain't gonna happen.

Are they going to be in 4d and all look as good as the Killzone E3 video?

does anyone know how many games Sony PRMISED at launch that the PS3 would have out RIGHT NOW???

By the time they have a decent library, The price point will have dropped reasonably enough for me to consider buying one. But I'm gonna venture a guess and say that its not gonna be by march '08. 'till then, I'll be happy with my 360, and copious amounts of cheap llallo.

This is really good news for PS3 owners. That is a lot of games, though. I'm not sure if they'll be able to deliver that. They have a tendency to delay... everything.

Could thihs be 380 titles TOTAL released by March, as in the total number of games and not 380 additional?

i meant *Plus* they could count their video trailers as software titles....to help reach the 380 mark

@raggedROBO

I don't claim that the PS3 is my console of choice. However, whether realistic or not, Hirai announcing upcoming games is a good thing. Sony needs good news.....BADLY.

If any of the major manufacturers claimed that they'd be releasing 10 games a week for the next year, we'd be making fun of them, too. Just because some of us didn't buy a PS3 doesn't mean we can't afford it.

It means we research major purchases before dropping half a grand on them.

Thats a kool Megaman shirt.

Well, ill believe its 200 titles, however, it wont be distributed all over the world. some will be only for NA (about 100), others for JP (prob the other hundred), and prob 1 or 2 for UK (lol, i kid).

@ Sue - "General All Around Bashing?"

Would you like to see bashing? Stating that Sony is making promises it can't keep (just like Nintendo or M$ would be, making the same outlandish claim) and that the PS3 is an ill-advised purchase (unless an alternate-history WWII FPS is worth $600 to you) isn't exactly bashing.

Sony engineered themselves a money pit that's too expensive to develop for and has too few users. Note the evidence of the sinking ship; rats jumping overboard, leaving Kaz at the helm. Now they're making crazy-talk about 9-10 games a week, 5-6 of those disc-based retail titles.

THAT'S closer to bashing. I say closer, because it's still all true. And thanks for being holier-than-thou after calling all of us cheap bastards for not jumping on the overpriced folder-at-home bandwagon. I'm sorry you're disillusioned, but don't accuse the rest of us of the same sort of shortsightedness and bias that you displayed when you bought Sony's new console on the merit of their last console, not the current one.

TheStripe:

Thank you for some common sense.

@ SuMizzle
I've never been shot in the head, but I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that it would suck.

Sure, all the other companies have their flaws too, but the point is, The PS3 doesn't look like an attractive purchase to alot of people right now. And this promiss of 10 games a week is spurilous(SP). You have to conceede that. Now I see why Sterling feels the need to hit as many sides of an argument as he can when he posts an article. People like you saying, "well if you gonna say something bad about company A, then you have to mention everything that company B has done too! even though its in no way contextual."

In a way, the both of the arguers, Su and Stripe alike are pretty much correct. I don't know about the most, but I do believe it's my own opinion that should dictate when to buy something and when not to. If a person so wishes to buy a PS3 right now, then more power to them and I hope it all works out in the end. If another person wants to wait until more titles are released, who am I to tell them they made a bad decision, if they wanted or enjoy it? Perspective is one thing. Forced perspective is another. That's not pointed at anyone *nod*

As for this claim.. It doesn't necissarily say GAMES so I am going to take it that it could mean anything... Software titles could mean anything software. From Movies to Games.. If they take both into consideration, then yes - they will meet their goal more than likely.

Mega Man is blue (usually) and he beats other robots and gets powers and in the original Mega Man video game on the Nintendo Entertainment System shot lemons at bad guys and was all like PEW PEW PEW!

PEW, PEW, PEW! I say!
