But here's the big question. Out of 380 games, how many will actually be worth playing?

    Sony's PlayStation 3 has been on the market for a little over seven months now, but it has not been the roaring success that company executives had once promised. Development of the PS3 resulted in budget overruns, internal turmoil between key executives and a lengthy delay for the console. For his part in the rocky development of the PS3, “Father of PlayStation” Ken Kutaragi was forced out of the company and replaced by Kazuo Hirai.

    When it comes to the sales of current generation hardware, the PS3 is at the rear of the pack. For the month of March, Sony sold just 130,000 of its PS3s compared to 199,000 and 259,000 respectively for the Xbox 360 and Wii. For the month of April, sales totals were at 82,000, 174,000 and 360,000 units respectively. In May, the numbers were 82,000, 155,000 and 338,000 respectively.

    Sony hopes to reverse the fortunes for its $599 console (the $499 20GB model was dropped earlier this year) by opening the flood gates with new games. There are currently roughly 150 games available for the PS3 platform, but Sony plans for at least 380 new games to hit store shelves during the current fiscal year.
