Though analysts are still predicting the Sony PlayStation3 to perform very well again the next-generation incumbent, Microsoft’s Xbox 360, and the alternative gaming style and much cheaper Nintendo Wii, the web seems to keep buzzing about Sony’s PlayStation woes. Sony is attempting to squash these naysayers by guaranteeing that they will offer 27 playable games for the PlayStation 3 at the Tokyo Game Show next month. That is a larger number to already have as almost final versions two months before launch. Typically what kills a late entry into the market is the lack of game titles, 27 two months prior plus a few more may not be so bad for the November launch.

Sony offered 13 playable PS3 software titles at E3 in Los Angeles in May. Playable games at the Tokyo Game Show, which will run from Sept. 22 to Sept. 24, will include such titles as “Ridge Racer 7” from Namco Bandai Holdings and Capcom’s “Devil May Cry 4.“
