Analysts think that Sony's plan for that might include eventually lowering prices for the PS3." The 'Gamers Day' event featured a great deal of new information about Sony products and services, including the new PSP Store.

    "Despite record losses for the game group, their stock shot to a five-year high and they promised to eliminate 80% of their operating loss within one year.

Is this one of those crazy "make it up in volume" schemes?

    So, considering Lair (3rd person dragon riding), Warhawk (3rd person shooter), Heavenly Sword (3rd person brawler) and Ninja Gaiden (3rd person brawler) are exclusives (tough 360 owners can get the Xbox version of that last one), all those other games are also available on the 360 right now or will be at the same time as the PS3 version.

    And those are 360 exclusives coming soon, Blue Dragon (RPG), Forza 2 (racing), Halo 3(FPS) (sigh... I must be one of the rare 360 user who doesn't care about this one) and Bioshock (FPS, on the PC too).

    It's really going to be a battle of the exclusives. And in this case, the 360 actually seems to have the better hand.
