Sony has had a rough time with their consoles. Both the PS3 and the PSP have had hard starts. 2007 brought some good games to both of these systems like Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank and Final Fantasy tactics to name a few. Still they were over shadowed by the Wii and DS craze. This year however will be such a different story. Welcome to the Sony express, it's picking up speed and doesn't show any signs of slowing.
First off the PS3 has price drop which already has brought more people to it (cheap bastergs!!). The PSP has a new model out which has been selling considerably well. Then you got the new games on both systems that have people very excited.

Looks to me like a great lineup of games not to mention all the PS1 games they release on the PSstore and the games.
Now, there are two games I havent talked about and I think it's obvious which ones. Thats because I wanted to talk a little bit about bundles. The PSP and PS3 are getting amazing bundles this year.
First off the PS3 is getting a Metal Gear Solid 4 bundle. It will come with an 80GB system, the game and a DUALSHOCK 3 Controller. It's a pretty amazing deal actually and I plan on getting it come June of this year.
The PSP has a really exciting bundle for God of War:Chains of Olympus. It will come with the game, a UMD version of Superbad and a newly designed PSP 2000. This is a great deal for the more mature gamers and the new PSP looks freaking sweet.
Let's not forget Home, it looks like it will be a pretty cool experiance for the PS3 users. I have a feeling the PSP will be getting in on it in some way also. Also Blu-Ray is the HD format (I don't know who actually thought HD would win) and already sales for the PS3 is jumping up. By the end of this year expect the PS3 to pull ahead of the 360 and it to be very close to the Wii. The Wii fever will die down by 2009 I believe and then the PS3 might actually jump to first place. All in all it will be an amazing year for Sony and Sony users.
