Every week I hear something about these supposed game wars. The Microsoft fans. And the PlayStation fans. Everyone believes the system they support is the best one. I own both systems. Though I do tend to lean ore to my PlayStation. The Xbox is just as awesome for different reasons. Anyway this is about one of the reasons why Sony is trailing behind Microsoft.
After playing Resistance 2 online for months, I noticed one big problem. More than half of the people online don’t have mics. And that just sucks. Sony has yet to package together the system, a game and the head set all together. When I got my Xbox 360, (The Elite) it came with two games and a head set and an HDMI wire. You had to love it. Now all I had to do is get my live subscription and I was good to go. Sony has free online service but does little to make players believe that they need it. The bundles the produce for PS3 and even the PSP have become a joke. Sony needs a incredible combo that just can’t be ignored. With an awesome marketing campaign behind it. Give people a reason to spend the money. Yes we all know about the blu-ray, 80GB hard drive, wi-fi, and free online service. BUT! What can I do with all that. Really, today it seems as gamers only want the system their friends have. Why do I want a PlayStation? This is the question on the consumers minds. First lets take a look at some of the previous bundles Sony has released.
I believe this was the first bundle they had. it should have come with a game. Resistance perhaps.

A great way to put playstations in homes. Nice size hard drive and a PS3 exclusive. The MGS 4 blue tooth came out the same day. Why not package it all together. And add a MGS 4 skin to make the PlayStation look more custom.

Why?!?!? We all know that this title is not strong enough to push systems.

Uncharted is one of my favorite PS3 exclusives. Again just a bigger hard drive may not be enough to sell it. This came out last year around holiday time, I believe. Resistance 2 came out during that time. Put the system with that game. Add a blue tooth and a skin. And make sure it’s Resistance 2 special edition.

Another great PS3 exclusive. I’m playing it now. But again no head set, skin or extra goodies inside. A t-shirt, anything.

This is a good bundle. A movie and a game. It would be nice to add the skin option. Decoration is always cool.  But I may have waited until Terminator Salvation hit blu-ray. Late for the game. Although people may have thought they were getting more with the new movie and game of the same title. Showmanship is what it’s about.

WOW!!! We didn’t even see this in America. Let’s say the system is the 80GB. Throw in the RE5 head set. Yes they sold those on the same day of release. The two dual shock controllers and the special edition version of the game. And a skin. Can you say sold out. I bet you could.

This year will see all types of games hitting the stores. Especially holiday time. What will PlayStation do? They have a few exclusives. And there are games that will just grab all gamers attention. Can someone say Assassins Creed 2. With Sony releasing Uncharted 2 Among Thieves with co-op and competitive play. And MAG the massive multiplayer FPS. There should be a system bundles with either game. Along with a PS3 headset, a skin, and some type of DLC (Down Loadable Content) extra. And market it to death. Billboards and commercials in time square. Commercials connected to different TV shows. The works. “If you build it. They will come.” But you have to built it right.

Next year if Sony has any sense. They have an opportunity to us certain games to there advantage. God of War 3, and Final Fantasy XIII and maybe Resistance 3. It will most likely come out holiday 2010. Insomniac has a good record for releasing sequels every other year. And if these titles are bundles (which they should be) all those extra tidbits will definitely make the PS3 so much more appealing.
And I haven’t forgotten the PSP. I’ll be bearing down on that little guy closer to the PSP Go release. Until then, if you don’t own a PS3. Get one. And don’t forget the head set.

Sony seems to be on fire of late. And to tell you the truth I’m very happy. This is what has been on so many minds for the last few months or so. I have no idea of the authenticity of this this video. But this is just too sick not to share it. I this is real. WOW!!!!!!!!!!! SONY TRULY ROCKS
