PlayStation Network 6/7: Nothing But Trailers
Each Monday, Wii owners get a few games added to the Virtual Console. Sure, they’re not always the greatest games, but occasionally you’ll find a gem in there and maybe something that holds some nostalgic value. Each Wednesday, Xbox 360 owners typically get at least one Live Arcade game – which, as of late, have been pretty damn good. But PlayStation 3 owners aren’t quite as lucky; this week they don’t even get a demo. Instead, all they have to look forward to when connecting to the PSN are four trailers.

Comments:
It’s a lot of work to maintain an online presence. When you think about it, having an original game or two a week, or other add-on DLC requires development and planning.
Microsoft took time to ramp up their offering, and really has been working at this since the original Xbox. The 360 just brought it to another level.
Nintendo hit the ground running by offer legacy games weekly, but has released limited original content outside of that.
So I think Sony is just trying to put together a strategy and get content into their pipeline. Eventually it will come together, but I think in the short term we’ll see sporadic content.
