PS3 Overstretched By Slippage

We wondered what you guys think about all of the slippage that seems to be plaguing the PS3. With so many titles slipping, some for a short while, others for a long while, is this just the beginning of the end for the ps3, or can it make the leap and get back some pride?

Sure there are some cool titles out for the PS3, but as far as cross-platform titles go, a lot of the time they're out after they've appeared on some other platforms. A few examples of what we mean: The Orange Box - Xbox 360 (OUT NOW) - PS3 version Dec 13, Stranglehold - Xbox 360 (OUT NOW) - PS3 version Nov 29, Blazing Angels 2 - Xbox 360 (OUT NOW) - ps3 version Nov 22 and the list goes on. Add to this the PS3 exclusive titles that have also slipped (SingStar being one of the latest) and things look bleak.

As if all this wasn't bad enough, there's been rumblings quite a few developers aren't happy with the difficulty level of working with the ps3 architecture and that Sony had to 'beg' third-party developers not to abandon the console. Guess that sort of tells us what we've known all along, despite the ps3 being in front with power and size, it ain't those things that matter, but what you do with them that counts. Thoughts?

So many games are being stalled for the ps3 I'm amazed people are still buying It must be annoying fo ps3 owners that don't own an xbox as well.

Well let's see where Sony is after Christmas. I think that's going to be the deciding point over the PS3, and it's future.
