It will do right up until Bill Gates releases the new console within the new 2-3 years. He will also do the same with the software in development (get them to port it to the new console instead of giving the old one the send off it deserves).
Most of the games that are being ported are looking it as they are being emulated, not rewritten from scratch. You have to program the PS3 very differently to any console that has been released before. That is why most of the ports are so bad.
You look at the games for the PS3 only or being programmed for PS3 first, they look awesome as they are being programmed for the machine and not just being ported over using the same bog standard programming method.
The PS3 will shine once people start to realise that the XBox 360 is being pushed to 70%-80% processing power. Motorstorm only used around 16% & Resistance around 20%. We all know that new programming methods are being developed all the time, but there is not alot between them and the PS3 is not even breaking a sweat to do it.
If companies keep on sitting on the fence, then that will hurt Sony in the long run. However with Final Fantasy looking like a sure thing on the PS3 (Wii not powerful enough / XBox not selling enough in Japan), Metal Gear Solid creator saying that the storage capacity of disks on the 360 is not enough for the next generation of games and Konami saying that if the PS3 sells enough then they will only develope for Sony.
The future is not a forgone conclusion, but Sony needs games. If you look at the E3 list on the IGN Sony is getting almost everything the 360 is getting and Sony are developing a whole lot of new games themselves.
