Professionals Cite High Profile Releases Such As God Of War III Will Push PS3 Past Its Competition In 2010.

It sounds like a bold claim, but a poll conducted by industry professionals on GamesIndustry.biz saw 34 per cent of boffins backing Sony's powerhouse, citing major releases such as Gran Turismo 5, Heavy Rain, God Of War III, and of course, Sony Playstation Motion Controller as a reason to be excited.

Interestingly, the professionals have predicted that Nintendo's Wii is likely to be less successful than the Apple iPhone this year, a prediction we can't quite get behind.

Still, with Sony expectations seemingly sky-high (double to what they were last year when GI conducted this poll), there's definitely some positive buzz around camp-Playstation right now which makes for a tasty change. Here's hoping Sony can capitalise right through the year with some shrewd releases and announcements.
