When Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft enter the E3 arena next week, they need to be at the top of their game. This year, there's no margin for error, and anyone who does slip up will feel the full bruntal force of an angry fanbase. Here are just a few things Sony could use to win the competition:
BRING THE NGP- The 'Next Generation Portable' was announced earlier in 2011 with the promise of exclusive Uncharted, Little Big Planet and Call of Duty titles- now it's time to show us what they are, and when we can expect them.
MOVE OUT OF DANGER- Ever since its release, the PlayStation Move has all but stood in the shadow of the Wii and Kinect. The only way to convince gamers that they should buy the peripheral is to come out with more hardcore compatible titles like Time Crisis that would work with Move. In fact, I'd wager if Sony got Activision aboard with Modern Warfare 3 supporting it, they could well win the show.
BRING IN NEW FRANCHISES- What has made the PlayStation 3 so special in its era has not been the returns of old favourites such as Ratchet & Clank or Jak & Daxter but the introduction of great new contenders (Uncharted, LBP and Motorstorm being the most notable additions). However, the PS3 seems to hinge on the success of these series and their DLC now, so if it is to survive a few more years we need some iconic new franchises.
MENTION THE NEXT STEP- Nintendo are about to showcase 'Project Cafe', the successor to the Wii that signals the next generation of console gaming, and interesting as the NGP seems it will take a mention of the PS4's development to keep Sony from losing the limelight to Shigeru Miyamoto's guaranteed showstopper.
DON'T MENTION THE PSN- This is an already futile command as I am sure Sony will mention the PlayStation Network shutdown, but so long as they keep it short and make an apology then there will be no problem here!
