Playstation 3: Doomed to fail?


The PS3 has copped a lot of criticism regarding it's launch price, and most probably the games will be extremely expensive as well. With the Wii earning thumbs up all around for it's innovative control interface, the Wiimote as some have dubbed it, can Sony top the next gen wars? As gaming becomes a more mainstream, seriously-taken medium every year, can it be possible that people are willing to spend THAT much on a gaming console? Or are Nintendo and Microsoft going to be top dogs of the next round of consoles? Being a PC gamer, I don't care that much; personally, I'd like to see the Wii be extremely successful. If the Wiimote is as accurate as Nintendo claims, then the possibilities are limitless for what intelligent developers can create. Sword fighting? Hell YES! Baseball? Why not?!
I personally feel that when Assasin's Creed became a not-just-for-PS3 game, the Playstation 3 lost it's killer title. Sure, they have MGS4, but even Solid Snake is appearing in the next Smash Brothers game.
