Kaz Hirai, President and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America describes the launch as “unprecedented in terms of volume, variety and innovation, surpassing any previous competitive launch catalog and even our own original offerings for other PlayStation(R) platforms”
I don’t know if I would agree with all of that – after all, there are only three first party games followed by a list of (mostly) repackaged older titles. Still, with PS3 pre-orders going for over $1500 on Ebay, I would imagine that there are plenty of people out there who could care less about launch titles ( and the value of a dollar for that matter ).
