Thanks to the massive success of the Wii and DS game consoles, Nintendo was able to turn the tide and once again become the number one game company in the world. As with any honeymoon, however, it must come to an end at some point. Nintendo reported its financial results for the first half of 2009 yesterday, and it didn't look good.

Just looking at the growth over the past 12 months it's clear the PS3 is finally taking charge.

I wouldn't necessarily go that far. The PS3's future has a lot to do with the answers to these questions...

1. How much of the growth was/is motivated by a desire to buy a game console -- or a [now] competitively priced Blu-Ray player? Or, put another way, will people buy games?

2. How many hit exclusive titles will there be for the PS3 over the next year?

3. What impact will further price cuts for competing game consoles have on the market (as they're certainly sure to do)?

I might buy Final Fantasy for my PS3 bluray player - that's about it though. To me all the hype over games like Uncharted 2 can't hid the fact that it's like every other shooter on the system (based on the demo). I don't think I'll be playing too many games like that.

Plus I tend to do all my real gaming on the PC anyway. ;-P

I don't know man, I just finished Uncharted 2 and I'd say it was one of the best games I've ever played. I wouldn't exactly call it a shooter though, I'd say it's more of an adventure game that involves shooting for some of it. For me, this game made up for the new Indiana Jones movie being horrible.
