PS3's 2011 Exclusive Games Line-up One of Best in Video Game History, says Analyst

Posted January 5, 2011 by James Brightman

With PlayStation Move being a key focus for Sony during the last quarter of 2010, there weren't that many traditional titles for the hardcore to snatch up, except for Gran Turismo 5. In 2011, however, Sony is gearing up for a number of 'AAA' exclusives for its platform, which should make PS3 owners quite happy. 

"With Killzone 3, Resistance 3, Uncharted 3, and Infamous 2 all set to release in 2011, Sony is on track to deliver one of the most impressive line-ups of exclusive titles in the history of video games," noted EEDAR analyst Jesse Divnich in a recent IndustryGamers feature.

The PS3 is now only a few million units behind the Xbox 360 in global installed base, and some analysts do think the console has a legitimate chance of overtaking the 360 in 2011. Certainly, having exciting exclusive titles for a platform like Uncharted 3 and Killzone 3 can go a long way towards further enticing consumers. What would help even more, however, would be another hardware price cut on PS3, as Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia has suggested.

When I saw his prognostication, I immediately thought "He left off the best one in The Last Guardian!" Hands down, this is my most anticipated new release in 2011 for me.
