Sony PS3 sales will soon ramp up

Videogames Keep Olympic Shot-Putter Busy

This is what I'm talking about when I give reasons for having recently put 5% of my IRA into SNE (Sony).

Although he's a devoted gamer, Hoffa hasn't made the jump to next-gen systems yet. "Once I find four games on the next system that I really like, then I'll buy the system," he says. "The PS3 is a little bit newer system, so there's not quite as many cool games for it yet."

He may change his mind when Metal Gear Solid 4 is released, however. Hoffa says the series' blending of story with gameplay is what makes him such a huge fan.

The PS3 was way ahead the technology curve and there really wasn't a good reason to buy one. Now, some games (Grand Theft Auto 4 launching April 29 and Metal Gear Solid launching June 6) are finally catching up with the amazing PS3 platform and the BlueRay drive as an added bonus. Why buy a BlueRay Player for $399 when you can get a PS3 for $399? It is just going to add up to a lot of future PS3 sales for Sony.

Here is a fool article stating that GameStop is a better buy than a console maker because the Wii beat the PS3 in February. All I'm saying is that the playing field changed drastically in February when all the movie studios dropped HD/DVD for BlueRay and the next generation games requiring a PS3 that are finally hitting the market.
