"Microsoft has probably the two biggest shooter franchises at the moment being, Gears of War and Halo. Both have carried Microsoft as their flagship titles and sell well every time Marcus Fenix or Master Chief are called up for duty. You will struggle to find a Sony series that claims to be bigger than those two juggernauts. But after those big hitters, you struggle to find a first party title or game published by Microsoft that is among the "great" gaming franchises out there. Then when you look at some of the games Sony is bringing to the party this year along with some of their other big franchises, you begin to see that some of the games that Sony offers, Microsoft has nothing that can stand up to what they have, and in an age of where Sony seems to be after a "Halo Killer", does Microsoft need some Sony Killers of their own."

Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
LucasArts gave Jango Fett his own game in 2002, and it pulled Star Wars into a much dirtier, rougher, and more interesting corner of the galaxy.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

xbox 360 will do well with 199$
all these hot games(gears2,crackdown,halo,al an wake atc..),multiplat games(fallout3,gta 4,dead rising,resi 5 are better on 360),best online experience out there,awesome arcade titles,amazing hd graphics
as a gamer,you can't go wrong with the 360
I know I'll get disagrees,agree or disagree respectfully :)
sony need to cut the price of the ps3,I know overall ps3 to me is better but take a look at WHOLE COMMUNITY,look deeply,xbox 360 will contenue to sell unless sony cut the price
that's my view
PS3 has something that needs killing?
"Microsoft has probably the two biggest shooter franchises at the moment being, Gears of War and Halo."
The only problem with having only two major franchises, is that those storys are going to eventually run out.
There are very few franchises that last several decades like Mario or Zelda or Metal Gear, and the Halo and Gears franchise wont last even close to as long as those have.
Look at the God of War Franchise, and how it is coming to an end. I think the God of War titles top Halo and Gears combined, but like those games God of War has an end.
What Sony has been doing is constantly making sure that when certain franchises end, that they have 2 more to take its spot.
Microsoft does not need to worry about what Sony is doing, but they need to make Sure that when Halo and Gears finally fizzle out, that they have something that can match or exceed what Halo & Gears has been able to do. (and getting rid of 1st & 2nd party studios is the worst thing they could do)
Microsoft are doing pretty well so I don't think they need a Sony killer.
What I do think is that they want a Sony killer, we all know how MS like nothing more than market dominance.
no they dont. they just need to let out some good games. keep the good times rolling. these fanboys are out to ruin gaming. its like they want a one console monopoly
