200 packaged.. 100 psn.

they said they would ship a million ps3s by spring. and they did.

380 games would be nice

I hate to say it but I don't think Sony will meet the qoal here.I don't see very many titles at the moment,and they don't have a game selection.How are they going to make this goal when they haven't even released anything that is worth investing in yet.The statement must be directed to gamers in the far east,because I don't see 380 new games coming anytime soon to North America or Europe.Sony needs to focus on a game that will sell first before making a bunch of duds.Sony messed up by building a system that is too advanced for game developers.By making the system too advanced it makes the game developers push the game release dates back.If you think about it a year will not be enough time to produce anything that will catch the consumers eye.I believe we are going to see a bunch of old titles such as PS1 games brought into the picture,but instead of saying old titles they will count them as being new.If the statement is refering to actual PS3 games then we all might as well say it is impossible.

Who wants to make a bet?

Im gonna say that at least 60% of those 380 will be garbage.

I don't even think they can release 380 new games,because like I mentioned the game developers spend more than a year to make a game(a decent game that is).It will definately be a bunch of garbage games if they do release that many in the short period of time stated.The PS3 must not be a next gen game system if we are expecting to see garbage in return.I just don't see Sony making any profit by forcing developers to release BS games in the short period of time given.It will make Sony take an even bigger loss,because I don't intend to spend money on a game that doesn't interest me.I'm sure a bunch of people feel the same way.

61% Bob. *ding*
Contestant 3, what is your bet?

what do you mean they'll be shit.compare ps2 and xbox.the ps2 dominated in game selection because it came out first but it still did even when xbox sales were strong.xbox 360 has had a major head start and if you look at its launch it wasnt as good as playstation3.system were defective,disc scratching,mic not working.sony hasnt had any major problems yet except its sales which are based on its price.a 50 dollars cut and all of these games will raise sales guaranteed.380 is possible.especially for sony,they have the experience factor and that will come into play.

How many times do we have to tell them that the only way sales will improve is by bringing the prices of the console down to a reasonable price tag.

But they wont lower it because they are supposedly already losing money on the console itself because of production costs. And I don't see a big drop in the price for awhile because on the G.A.P. (invitation only playstation gamer advisory panel forum) users will justify the cost.

ok first off, don't know about you but the last two years i've been in college not once have i or anyone else played a ps2 for anything as a group, but guitar hero. Secondly, the article says there are already one hundred and fifty games out. Out of all of them, how many of them are actually relevant other than resistance, none. If you look at any top ten list, there are no ps3 games to be found. Now if we take that ratio of 1:150 and apply this to the expected 380 they're exoected, you get what like two and half games worth even mentioning. Now subtract from those the ones that aren't exclusives, taking into account that ps3 is no longer going to be the cheapest BD player, and you have no reason to buy a ps3.

It seems to me that Sony just talks allot, yet we keep hearing we have good games coming then we see delay after delay. The only time I'll truly get excited anything PS3 related is when I actually SEE the good stunning games for myself, besides hearing just "wait."

That your opinion if you think the games out on the PS3 isn't good but there are more than 1 game on PS3 thats good to me. Motorstorm, DoubleAgent,& Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.Thats just some & there are some good titles online they released so far like Rub a Dub & Flow.Because they don't appeal to you doesn't mean there isn't any good games out so Far.Also people need to get off Sony back i didn't see people bitching about the 360 same time last year when they did have any games & Live suck balls & still charging there customers for none thing.

im upset with sony releasing these games. they are picking quantity over quality. They must think there gamers are stupid releasing a lot of bad quality games. what they should be doing to boost there ps3 sales is get off there asses an start workin on there updates to make them better, small things like in game xmb. why cant they add that? no sony, yous got it wrong, potential of a great console but yous are making all the wrong moves

380 games = 300 PS1 & PS2 Games available to download to play on your PS3 for a small price from the playstation store. 78 already available on the 360 and two exclusives Grand Turismo (sorry Forza 2 much better and Project Gotham 4 due end of they year so wont be buying that) And Metal Gear Solid (maybe if its not all hyped up) Sony should start making games for thier games console and stop going on about Blu-ray dvd. I bought a games console to play games on. Not to watch Blu-ray dvds on a standard TV.

Well your right their PS3 owners are stupid if they are buying it for the gamign system, the only acceptabel reason to buy a ps3 is for BR player, but now its not cheapest there is no reason why ppl should buy it, unless you are an idiot. So we can see Sony have realised with, Watch i can see crappy arcade liek games being mass rpoduced quickly to make up with stupid number and costing £50 to buy! This will be funny!

Still Stupid numebr of games, i don't even think the 360 has that many games out, but wait 360 games are actually really good.

Someone mentions a load of games that are good on ps3, all i have to say is PORTS!, they have 2 ok games, and theya ren't exactly amazing, i've played them, my brother has a ps3 , they are motor storm and resistance, but frankly i think resistance is a game which is a year or two late on standards, compared to what games are out their now, and motor storm, well heck look at all the other racing games out their, if it was on 360, sales woudln't be amazing, because its just another racing game, nothign special.

Also with this PSN, i do beleive that this is where peopel can purchases old ps1 and 2 games if i am correct, please correct me if i am wrong, but why would ppl buy these? they woudl already have the games they want on ps1 or ps2 discs surely. Since they woudl obviosuly be Sony FB and bought all the other consols!

The WII has the dragon by the tail and its getting 80 something games this year, the PS3 has been a disaster I don't think they can do half of that,the PSN games will be a cross between cheap flash games and ports so I see lil movement there.

200 game by the 2nd quarter of next year.....I don't see it I can see maybe 100 by the the END of next year.

I think sony would be better off dropping the PS3 price and pushing game sales that way these PR stunts are starting to be insulting.

Sony clarifies Hirai's PS3 release estimates
by GamePro Staff | 06/22/2007 | 8:36:26 AM PST






While not exactly promising as much as Kaz Hirai, SCEA confirms that the PS3 will see many more games in North America this fiscal year.

By Brent Kampe

Following SCEI CEO Kazuo Hirai's remarks earlier this week that the PlayStation 3 may be seeing upwards of 380 new games over the next year, Sony Computer Entertainment of America has clarified that these numbers are, in fact, international figures.

A Sony spokesperson confirmed to GamesIndustry.biz earlier that North America can expect to see at least 145 new titles over the current fiscal year ending in March 2008. Of these titles, at least 105 will be boxed games, while about 40 will be distributed over the PlayStation Network.

At least 15 of these games will be first-party releases, including such heavily-awaited titles as Heavenly Sword, Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction, LAIR, Little Big Planet, Eye of Judgment, and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.

However, in order to meet this forecasted flourish of new titles and alleviate the PS3's current release dearth, Sony has said that it will rely heavily on third-party publishers, continuing a trend the company established in the last two console generations that helped drive the PlayStation brand as the dominant force in the industry. Increased game availability in addition to a possible price cut may help spur the PS3's lackluster sales, bringing it closer to the sales models of its predecessors
