[bbc20000]

I am wondering if 2010 will be ps3 tsunami year. i think it will be. if you do not agree what can microsoft or nintendo do to slow down ps3 sales.

[Onslaught X]

Uh. No?

there will never be a "tsunami", it was a dumb PR statement in the first place.

i voted yes.

2006 was the tsunami year with the PS3 extremely hard to find.

So sony doesn't want to repeat that. So no 2010 will not be a 2nd tsunami year.(and since no SDF here has ever used that statmentin any form of seriousness it should be dropped, it has gotten old)

[BBM128]

i voted yes.

Rather curious... Care to explain?


And frankly, I think 2010 is going to be a bang-up year for the PS3. I'm not sure it needs a "tsunami" or other absurd PR metaphor.

[Badger3920]

Voted no, due to entirely too much time being spent focused on the term "tsunami."

Will it be a fantastic year? Gameswise, absolutely. And that's really all that matters.

Sales? Quite likely, yes.

lol....how was the PS3 hard to find?

It was well-documented that there was plenty of PS3 stock on store shelves.

What games are you most anticipating?

[Badger3920]

GT5 in a huge way, heavy rain, The Last Guardian, possibly MAG

And then several multiplats, especially Bioshock 2 -- also bad company 2

I'm also somewhat interested in that mario kart, lbp hybrid type game - the name of which is currently eluding me

God of War 3 is my most anticipated and then GT5. I don't know much about Heavy Rain, but I'm sure it will be good. It will be interesting to see what Sony has planned for the Fall line-up because right now Spring is pretty stacked.

EDIT: I did a little checking, can someone explain what the hype about Heavy Rain is all about? It doesn't look like that development house (Quantic Dream) has done much.

[Badger3920]

Perhaps the more interesting question is, what does sony have planned for the spring - because I agree with you, and think it's pretty doubtful that they wouldn't strategically delay some of those titles.

God of War 3 is also somewhat interesting to me, but I'm not a huge fan of those types of games

Depends on what you mean by tsunami. If you measure it by Sony releasing several high quality exclusives in a short period of time then it already happened when we got R2, KZ2, Infamous, LBP, Valkyria Chronicles and a few others within a year. If you measure it by game sales then it came with MGS4, GT: Prologue, Motorstorm selling over 3 million each. If you measure the tsunami as I do which means grabbing the #1 spot from the Wii then no, that won't ever happen.....which reminds me, time to update my sig.

[Master X]

Heavy Rain is hyped for graphics and they made indigo prophecy.

IMO the 360 has a better line up sure GT5 and Gow3 are nice but I want Alan Wake, Splinter Cell, and Mass Effect 2 and maybe Halo Reach.

Bad. the game Modracers I think.

[holsty101]

ModNation Racers is that karting game Badger.

As for fall, I think they may have unannounced games by some of their 1st parties, I don't know that there's anything confirmed next from Evolution, Cambridge & Liverpool, hell I think xmas '10 could have been long enough for Guerrilla to crank out another FPS now they've got the engine down.
