Can anyone deny that 2012 is PS3/Sony's worst year this gen?

    I honestly feel that this year has been a complete letdown for PS3 owners. Lets compare this years offerings to previous years this gen

    - 2006/2007 (2006 was not a full year for PS3 so I combined it with 2007)

    • Resistance: Fall of Man- 8.8
    • Warhawk- 8.5
    • Uncharted: Drake's Fortune- 8.0
    • Ridge Racer 7- 8.0
    • Heavenly Sword- 8.0
    • Motorstorm- 7.9
    • The Eye of Judgement- 7.5
    • Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction- 7.5
    • Folklore- 7.0

    - 2008

    • Metal Gear Solid 4 - Perfect 10 (GOTY)
    • Resistance 2- 9.0
    • Little Big Planet- 9.0
    • Valkyrie Chronicles - 8.5
    • Motorstorm: Pacific Rift- 8.0
    • Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm- 7.5
    • Buzz! Quiz TV- 7.5
    • Singstar- 7.5
    • GT5 Prologue- 7.5
    • Hot Shots Golf- 7.5
    • SIREN: BLood Curse- 7.0

    - 2009

    • Uncharted 2: Among Thieves- 9.5
    • Killzone 2- 9.0
    • Demon's Souls- 9.0 (GOTY)
    • Infamous- 9.0
    • Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time- 8.5
    • Katamari Forever -7.0

    - 2010

    • God of War 3 - 9.0
    • Heavy Rain- 8.5
    • Gran Turismo 5- 8.0
    • Modnation Racers- 8.0
    • Yakuza 3- 8.0
    • MLB 10: The Show- 8.0
    • MAG - 8.0
    • 3D Dot Game Heroes - 7.5
    • Sports Champions - 7.5
    • Trinity Universe- 7.0

    -2011

    • Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception - 9.0
    • Little Big Planet 2- 9.0
    • Killzone 3 - 8.5
    • Resistance 3 - 8.5
    • Motorstorm Apocalypse - 8.5
    • Yakuza 4 - 8.0
    • MLB 11:The Show - 8.0
    • Disgaea 4- 7.5
    • Infamous 2 - 7.5
    • Socom 4 - 7.5
    • Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One - 7.0

    And here we have 2012

    • Twisted Metal - 8.0
    • Starhawk - 7.5
    • Tales of Graces F - 7.0
    • Wonderbook - 8.0 (lol)
    • LBP Karting - 7.0

    What the hell happened here? It's like Sony just completely took a year off from making games. Previous years we were showered in quality exclusives, but this year has been underwhelming to say the least. I have played my PS3 for a grand total of 3 hours this entire year. This is the time it took me to play through Journey two separate times.

    I was going to say that their first year was the worst, but...huh, is that really all they've had this year?

    I'm honestly surprised by that. Are they just ramping down production in preparation for the PS4, or...?

    I honestly don't know. Sony has a bunch of games slated for 2012 like The Last of Us, God of War Ascension, Ni No Kuni, Sly 4, and possibly (althought it's a stretch) The Last Guardian and FFVs13

    PS All Stars is on Vita so it's not exclusive. They can moo all they want about it but I'm not changing it.

    They can b!tch all they want. Adding a mediocre Smash Bros. ripoff makes little difference.

    Hey, that was my thread.

    And not gonna happen. It may score okay (I thinking AE), but I'd be shocked at anything beyond that. The gameplay just isn't that great.

    I don't think there's any denying that TC. This year is bad for the failstation 3. It's the worst console of all time honestly. Give me 32X or Virtual Boy any day of the week. The only thing saving the ps3 for me is the blu ray player. Otherwise, I think I would've taken that piece of dog crap, wrapped it up real nice, and given it to a local coke wh0re so she can buy some blow.

    Unfortunately, I agree but its really late into the gen (probably only one or two years left until next gen consoles launch) and the PS3 seems like its going to go out with a bang in 2013.
