VG Arabia Xbox360 looks strong in 2010, how will Sony fight back?

2010 is shaping up to be one of the biggest years in the history of videogames. The HD war is at its peak now, and I think that 2010 will be a very critical year for both of Microsoft and Sony. Sony did a great job in 2009 by releasing some of the best exclusives of this generation and the PS3 slim. But 2009 is gone forever, and we are now looking forward to what Sony have to offer in 2010. On the other hand, Xbox360 lineup in 2009 was lacking, but in 2010, it seems that Microsoft is pushing the Xbox360 as hard as they could.

Gamasutra - News - Analysis: Why Sony Is Becoming A One-Platform Game Company

In the coming year we expect the winding down of the PlayStation 2, including the end of the iconic Madden NFL series on the system. We think it's likely that Sony will announce a true successor to the PSP, perhaps not due until 2011.

Then Sony will effectively be a one-platform company, at least for 2010. To that end, Sony will spend most of the year touting the out-of-the-box value of the PS3 while declining to respond to any price drops by competitors. After all that, it seems likely that Sony's share of the market (in dollars) will finally end up around the same as that of its most direct competitor, Microsoft.
