Should i say more?

Ridiculous... WTF is this Bullshit propaganda doing in the 360 section?.

Sony owns 2008-XXXX
There are too many Awesome games.

all i know is that their are some highly anticipated PS3 games next year.. Any "real" gamer who loves games in general ( that doesnt already own a ps3 )will be buying themselves a shiny new PS3 very soon..

EDITED for Daishi ... now do you get the point?

2008 the year of the PS3 and Blu Ray

POG,it also has titles listed for XBOX 360 and Wii. Don't just read the title and assume it was meant just for the Playstation.

2008 will definitly be the year of the ps3, with its killer lineup.

Possibly. It does have the best line-up, or at least, the best line-up we, the general public, know of now. One thing Sony must do to ensure "owning" next year is improve the PlayStation Network. The PlayStation Store is pretty poor, particularly in the PAL regions.

the Gamers' year.

PSWii60 FTW!!!

Edit: The cowardly disagrees just add fuel to the fire that will burn all fanboys up.

Most of us just can not justify buying a PS3, when we have to save up now to buy Splinter Cell 5, Gears of War 2, and other big $60 games like Too Human and Warhound plus GTA4 and Lost Odyssey!!!!!!

It will be a far more competitive year all around IMO, but not only a Sony year!!!

cant stop thinking (and playing) about it, now that i have it :P

But man, im so dead broke next year, its not even funny. I want to buy myself a big @ss beamer with a 100" screen to play my games on, but i think im gonna run a little low on cash...

100 million PS3= 100 million Blue ray players.
Universal jumps ship to blueray.
Star wars becomes Blueray only.
Jerrisic Park hits blueray with remastered PCM uncompressed sound!

The sky turns blue in 2008!
or the ocean turns blue in 2008
or the world turns blue in 2008.
umm I guess everything is already blue.

08 will go to Wii and 360 again, Sony and it's Droids are banking to much on the success of MGS4 and FF but they don't have anything else thats proven AAA. MS has to many games comming out in 08, they will just drown the PS3 with them. Get used to saying "wait" somemore Droids, it's what you're good at anyway "wait wait wait" while the Wii and 360 are "now now now". It's like the DMV, do you want to wait in line for 4hrs or do you want to go right up to the window skipping everyone else in line.

Who's year it is'nt?

^^^^^
If MGS4,GT5,FFXIII only sold (1)one copy a piece,those games will still be better than %98 of the 360 & Wii's library in 2008.

(gameplay & storywise)
Sales mean nothing to me when gaming.

- True Gamer

Many things do indicate that PS3 will be very successful in 08, but who knows?

Thats a stupid question, especially when you know the answer ;)

Casual gamers make the industry go 'round? Not exclusively. Sure, there's more casual gamers in the world than hardcore, so you'll get more system sales, but don't count on them to carry through in game sales all the time. Casual gamers are just that. Casual. They don't buy every new, core game that comes out on the market. You can't count on casual game sales alone to carry a system through it's lifespan. Take my wife for example. She's a casual gamer who bought a Wii. Lord knows I had to drive around with her all over the place trying to find the damned thing. So she FINALLY got her system online, and how many games does she possess one year after owning Nintendo's little white box? Six. 6 whole games including the ones you'd expect of a Nintendo fan. Super Mario Galaxy, Zelda: TP, Elebits, Super Paper Mario, Trauma Centre, and Rayman: RR. After all that running around and clamouring for the system she owns 6 bloody games. The casual gamer doesn't have the drive to consistently play games so they generally buy games sporadically at best. Of course, where you have console sales, you'll undoubtedly have game sales to follow, but by ignoring the hardcore crowd, the crowd who eats up most titles and buys just about every major title on the market for a system, you're leaving a large audience at the side of the road, which is what Nintendo has done. Sure the Wii has a hardcore fan base, and Nintendo haphazardly gives them service in the guise of Metroid, Mario, and Zelda. But by and by, the old card company (Nintendo) has basically said "shove it" to hardcores and is concentrating on mainstream casual sales. System sales might be huge, but how about game sales?

I, myself, am a hardcore gamer. Have been for over 20 years. I've owned them all: NES, SNES, Genesis, Sega CD, 32X, Saturn, original PS and so on...I own hundreds of games between all of my consoles. In the past year alone, I've acquired 23 games for my 2 systems, PS3 and Xbox 360. That doesn't include my PSP. You simply can't count on casual gamers for huge amounts of game sales. Casual gamers certainly help contribute to making the world go 'round, but don't count on them, alone to make the globe spin.

Sony has had a rough year. They had to compete with the Wii witch is cheaper. The 360 that was already out a year so the games were there. PS3 will kick it up a few gears next year. You can be a fanboy all you want and say no. But that just would show that you lack any gaming skills at all. Even die hard 360 owners are giving there props to the PS3 line-up next year.

I will leave Blu-Ray out of this because I have a stand alone player so I don't use it for movies. The 360 games don't look to bad next year eather. The Wii will have there biggest title out in the first few months of 2008.

But as far as exclusive Sony has that covered. The only thing we have to worry about is if they are as great as they can be. Multi-plat is also very important. If the PS3 get the same old crappy ports it could be another bad year for them. But the same thing can happen to the 360 next year. We won't know till 2008 is over.

In terms of the lineup of games that is coming, there is little dispute that the PlayStation 3's list looks more attractive and is highly more anticipated than that of any other rival platform. So in terms of actual games, it will most likely be Sony's year.

Wii will have Smash Bro's Mario Kart and a price drop $199 if sales slow.

360 will have more RROD and no games.
2008 the year 360 fails yet again.

Why are people gonna argue about this? It will be a good year for all three systems. I just hope the "good" games coming out next year out are actually good.

I've been hearing that for the past few years, but looking at releases like Rise of the Argonauts and Sacred 2........360 already looks more attractive by far again.

Lots of great games coming out on both systems, its going to be an interesting spin for adopters.

WHAT DID GEARS DO THAT MADE IT BIG? it perfected the cover system(so many games have did that now)

it was the best looking next gen game out(games have surpassed it)

its story was weak and its online was weak.

gears 2 will be good and its not a system seller either since whoever brought a 360 for gears 1 will just get gears 2

The author did forget few exclusive games for the 360:

Fable 2
Lost Odyssey
Gears of War 2?
Left 4 Dead
Banjoo 3?

Do you have any clue at all? Do you know how to read? It's stating games right in the article, but your XBOX biased BS gets in the way of your brain. When your eyes and your brain start to work with your hands and spew out some real common sense sh!t let me know. Retard!

It's just that it couldn't fit on the 360. You can see the whole shabang on the PC version. Which the new levels are great BTW.

Shall we wait untill they've done it?

I've heard this before.

2007 would also become Sony's year. With so called 'killer apps' called by Sony:

Lair
Heavenly Sword
Warhawk

Games that at highest got around an 8, and Lair even around a 5 out of 10. The PS3 dropped so hard on the cold floor, I think PS3 fanboys should now wait with announcing 2008 as PS3's year after we've seen the both consoles get its games and how there are.

still trying to get a 60GB Ps3, the 40gb is my only option and its a no no, but i don't mind, to me Sony's year will be when Shadow of the colossus 2 comes out.

although cant wait for LBP

PS3 will OWN Japan next year, that's for sure.

With the PS3 previously outselling the Wii for a whole month in Japan recently, just because of, what was it?, Dynasy Warriors 6?, then you can bet on them in 08 in Japan. Look at the Japaneese "Most Anticipated Games" list. It's dominated with PS3 exclusives and a couple cross-platforms (but you know they would buy PS3 before 360)

So Japan next year- Most likely dominated by PS3

As for Europe, PS3 is doing fairly well, I thik managing to outsell 360 a bit, which means next year it will do so by a much larger margin, however, it will have to work hard to keep up to Wii sales there. Wii Fit will be huge (allthough I think it looks retarded)

Europe next year- Struggle between PS3 and Wii

America is the tough one. We always give into trends, so it depends on which is the "hot thing" next year. PS3 has a shot, but I think it'll be close all around next year, or Wii continues domination.

America next year- Close race between all 3.

So, while I do believe Sony will have the best year for gamers next year, don't count out the competition yet, they've got an uphill battle to fight.

Haven't we been waiting forever for it to be the PS3's year. What are they gonna say in 08; Wait till 2009?

2008 will be more of the same with both the 360 and Wii outselling the PS3. Why? Simply because they are better values. How many people really want to spend $400 on a gaming machine? Not the casual gamer...no matter what exclusive you throw at them. The Wii and 360 will always cost less and have a bigger game library at lower costs. That is afterall why the PS2 succeeded, isn't it?!

"Will developers somehow harness the mythical full potential of the Cell and significantly edge out the 360’s visual capabilities? Let’s say that does happen and you happen to own both consoles. Do you go with the superior looking version or the one with achievement points built in? But wait, Home has promised the use of “Trophies” (Sony’s visual achievement points) and game-themed locales in early 2008. Do those top the addictive, gotta-catch-‘em-all phenomenon that are Xbox Achievement points. So what else would make you pick up a 360 port except that you might have more friends who own an Xbox rather than a PS3?"

PS3 multiplats like Burnout Paradise and Devil May Cry perform and look noticeably better than their 360 counterparts, and the exclusives on Sony's platform are really showing what the Cell Processor is made of. Right now Microsoft has achievements and better online features, but those are software features that Sony's working on as we speak. Not saying that they'll necessarily be better, but the potential is there.

For example, there was a lot skepticism about the fidelity of PSN's online multiplayer since it is a free service, but over the past year those fears have been put to rest.

On paper, Sony has a better lineup for 2008.

That list doesn't have half the 360 exclusives on it. Anything not complete yet makes one party look good at the expense of the other party is propaganda.

EDIT: Below

GoW is the only game worth looking at because you can't ignor the popularity of it, thats seems to be the only thing you Sony fanboys care about. GoW2 is the only game worth looking at because you are a Sony fanboy fanatic.

The way the Sony fanboy mind works won't allow you to except any game I list as a value to MSFT's 2008 lineup anyways due to fanboyism or ignorance of the title... passing it off as nothing big so whats the point of posting lists?.

From current looks of things, it appears Sony has a fighting chance which they can either be good or bad for them. MGS and FF, both have to be one heck of a product for PS3 to own 08.

Please, people stop calling each other Droids or Xbots. Debate in a mature fashion. ;)

too many heavy hitters coming out next year including some top SELLING titles. The ps3's price will probably be reduced again and there is more of a variety of games which grab casual gamers. There are also enough of the hardcore games, some multi, some exclusive to keep hardcore gamers happy. Some big developers making new IP,s, some of those most westerners including myself know little about. Im sure the 360 can say they have new IP's on the way its just there MAY not be enough. I would not say that the problems that nintendo are having with manufacturing and distribution or the unresolved hardware problems with the 360 wont help sonys cause because they will.

The multiplatform developers now know that there is no real place to hide in regards to teething problems in terms of development for ps3 games as there have been titles, some exclusive some not, that have show that yes it may be a new learning curve to develop for the ps3 but its not impossible to yield on par if not better results that the other platforms.

One thing I know for sure. None of these companies are going down without a fight and as a gamer it is the best environment to be a punter as each company does its best to better the others.

To all the guys with all the consoles. You guys are in the win, win or (win win win) situation and good on ya. It must be your best life being a multi-console owner right about now.

Sony sure has an impressive lineup for 2008. The PS2 is still selling well. There is no reason why the PS3 should not do well in 2008. But until holiday season 2008 is done we are all just guessing and letting our favoritism shine through.

BTW - hope Naughty Dog and Insomniac release another set of games like R&C and Uncharted to add to this lineup. And of course - The GetAway - one of my favorite games. Hopefully we will get Ace Combat as well. A few Eye titles will not hurt either. We are getting spoiled with all this games. Maybe another title from Heavenly Sword team.

Yes:)

What will you say in 08 when things don't go Sony's way again? "wait untill 09"

"07 the PS3 will destroy the 360" didn't happen
"LAIR, HS, Warhawk and Uncharted will destroy Halo 3 and Mass Effect" Didn't happen

Now on to 08, 09, 10 and B3YOND.

Everyone said the PS3 didnt have a chance and was hated on for almost a year. Dont listen to these clowns, the ps3 has dug itself out of a grave and WE (the intellegent ps3 fans who can see a good investment) all knew all along the PS3 would be the ish. Its funny how half the people who hate on the ps3 dont give it a chance probably have never played uncharted. Ive played all the wii games and the 360 games... can u xbots and wii kids say the same thing?

PS3 will own just like the ps2 and yea everyone owns a ps2, but eventually everyone will own a ps3 when it drops in price (cuz it will have all the games) so u can say most ppl who own a ps2 will own a ps3

trophys will compete with achievements
and online is free.
in game xmb and messaging and a internet browser.
ALL FOR FREE.
and multiplats are starting to look better on the ps3.

and not to mention, all the multiplats.

SCENERIO: kid walks in store and see's mgs4,killzone 2,socom,grandturismo and GRANDTHEFTAUTO 4 ON THE PS3.

kid knows gta4 has downloadable content on 360 but says, IM NOT GONNA BUY A 360 JUST FOR THAT WHEN ALL THE GAMES ARE ON PS3.

grandtheft auto will be a system seller for ps3(BUT WILL SELL MORE SOFTWARE ON 360)

POG, your pretty much the king of propaganda around here, to go along with your buddies The Mart and Zhuk. You three have more biased and propaganda sh!t on this site than anyone. You speak more of BS and favortism are so one sided than anybody on this site. It's no wonder that nobody really cares for your opinions and what you really have to say. You only create biased people with your stupid remarks. So you should only expect the same in return. J@ck@ss.

that can't be a serious question can it?

AAA titles:
MGS4
FF13
FF versus 13
GOW3
GT5
Resistance 2
Possible AAA titles:
Killzone 2
infamous
jak and daxter
8 days
Motorstorm2
L.A. Noire.

360's AAA titles:
GOW2
WarHound
that halo project
Fable2
Alan Wake

Possible AA titles:
Halo wars
Too Human
Huxley

two notes I must make:Lost Odyessy in j@pan was'nt the AA title everyone expected and did'nt look next gen.

Just like MS has more titles up their sleeves sony does aswell.

Also, PS fans never said anything about lair or warhawk or HS being killer apps.
WE SAID THAT THEY WOULD END THE DROUGHT OF GAMES ON THE PS3, BUT NOT BE KILLER APPS , WE ALWAYS EMNTIONED 2008 AS THE YEAR PS3 WOULD OVERTAKE THE 360, NEVER 2007.

ANOTHER NOTE.

AS U ALL HAVE SEEN THE PS3 CAN DOMINATE THE 360 WITHOUT THE UNITED STATES, THEY JUST HAVE TO KEEP THE GAP IN TEH SATES SMALLER AND KEEP DOMINATING THE ERST OF THE WORLD.

WELL ACTUALLY THEY DO NEED THE STATES, BUT THEY HAVE PLENTY OF TIME FOR THAT, 2 YEARS TO BE EXACT.

The entire reason anyone SONY related said 07 would be the biggest year for the playstation was due to:

Metal Gear Solid
Final Fantasy
Gran Turismo
Killzone 2
Warhawk
Tekken 6.

Which were all delayed until 08. Or due to be released in 08.

No one ever said Lair was going to dominate the world, Nor Heavenly sword, nor Warhawk. Those were all fine games, but they were Niche titles. Warhawk was a MULTIPLAYER ONLY game for christs sake.

Thats like saying "HAHAHA SONY, EYE OF JUDGEMENT FLOPPED! YOUR SYSTEM IS GARBAGE." Only 5 people in the world were interested in a console CARD game, and only 2 people bought it.

You zealots have had plenty to celebrate in 07 with absolutely NO competition. Which is fine. Its like you walked up to a baby, and slapped it. Babies cant fight back.

The PS3 had no lineup until the end of 07. Uncharted is one of the best games out right now. Technically, Graphically, and just gameplay wise. The 360 has absolutely no answer to how that game doesn't load at all. Mass Effect tried, but.. 30 seconds later textures are still popping in.

All reviewers have noded to the ps3 that they have finally got their act together with Ratchet/Uncharted/Ut3/Cod4/Ass Creed for the holidays. (You know, the reviewers you worship).

Clearly you only own the 360, and thats why you feel like you have to boost your ego with every post. Kids, gamers have never just owned one system. One system is NEVER good enough, there are too many good games out there to shove yourself into one corner and claim all the other systems are garbage. Its sad to see, I'm just confused on how people like you even got into gaming, and so soured on Sony.

If anything I should be "sour" on sony. Buying a PS3 at launch, with none of the heavy hitting games was a kick in the balls. But I had a home theater room I was building, and Bluray was the best fit for my 1080p setup. I figured it would keep me busy until the games really showed up. It didn't so I bought a 360. Which had a better online community, and I was used to XBL from my first xbox. the PS2 had nothing when it came to online features. However, I understand its a game system. Not a RIGHT. And believe me, Uncharted has made up for all that time in full. This entire holiday has.

If anything, I should be sour at MS for letting a product go out on the market with such high failure rate. My 360 died on me, I just took care of it. They replaced it, end of the story. Their was no real good games until Oblivion, which I didnt care for. And Gears. Which I did care for. However I bought a 360 this year, so I didn't live through the boring ass first year of it. I understand these things are electronics, and they dont govern the way I feel or act. They are entertainment.

Both consoles are going to have one hell of a time trying to outshine one another from here out. Microsoft cant keep touting how many more units it sells, as the gap gets smaller, and as it had a head start.

Lets also keep in mind that as of today, the 360 has 3 "AAA" exclusives.

Halo3
Forza2
Mass Effect

Edit @ The Angry Typist

No offense, but games that I can play on my PC, at higher resolutions than the console counterpart, by definition. Aren't Exclusive. There is no misconception about it. Here is a simple questionnaire:

Can you currently buy the game on another competing platform?
Yes
No

and COD2 = 89% on metacritic.

Sony has the most to gain that's for sure. I don't think Sony will dominate like the 360 did this year, even if it "wins" in 2008. I also don't think they will sell more software than Microsoft. They will close the gap though, I believe in terms of hardware sales. Sony's '08 lineup is much better than 2007's.

Well, it's pretty obvious to me that the Ps3 has the biggest and best games next year. Alan Wake, Ninja Gaiden 2 and Fable 2 aren't enough to counter them. But does that mean the Ps3 will win 08, sales wise? We'll just have to wait and see.

lol you xbots are funny. Of course its sony's year next year. What will the 360 counter with? a price drop? the ps3 will lower its price too.... so.... yeah. Denial is a b*tch and a lot of you are doing exactly that.

What is "that halo project"? Is that the movie?

Considering the 360,, i was actually attracted to its lineup this year but the rrods scared the sh"t out of me then microsoft did actually a good job(what should have been done by any company) announcing the 3 years guarentee but still i didn't like the situation i don't know about you but if i were in the middle of a game i don't like to wait 3 weeks to get my hands back to where they were, so i stayed out of the 360 way and hoped for a full solution but that never came,, in the meanwhile i am a hardcore gamer(i played 500 ps2 games and about 100 pc game, and i am not that old) the ps2 became in the middle of this outdated(with odin sphere the last game on it all other games are bullshit no real new games for the ps2) i had to satisfy my needs as a gamer so i decided to buy a new pc and finally throw away my 4 years old one so i bought a new one core 2 duo extreme with geforce 8800 gt 4 gigs of ram(cost me alot 1000 euros) so it was a great thing i were able to play most of the great games (importantly all(99%) of 360 exclusives aren't exclusive as you think they are) so i enjoyed from bioshock to crysis , but the real problem with pcs is that they become outdated very fast(1 year two years max compared to my 299$ ps2 that lasted 4.5 years!!!!) and i don't like to throw every now and then some cash to upgrade (that's why the 360 is a better purchase(relatively money-wise) than a pc) so as you can see i haven't bought any next-gen console yet(i might have bought a wii but it's too fad for me(not critizing others that bought it is great innovation but doesn't serve me right) so i am really attracted to the ps3 next year at a low price point and alot of features(more comin that should have been out earlier) purchasing a ps3 would be ideallic so you can't deny it
next year the programmers should have already learned how to write to a ps3 so multi-plat''s should be also great

CONCLUDING THE PS3 IS THE MOST ATTRACTIVE CONSOLE NEXT YEAR IT HAS THE MOST POTENTIEL WITH SONY BEING MASTERMINDS IN THIS FIELD THEY WERE IN CONFUSION BUT NOW THEY ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK

ps it is my first comment on this site so i wanted to unload all of the sh"t here so i won't repeat myself in the future,, and i edited my comment there were those lines in first but i preferred to same some arguments before saying something that may seem biased sorry for any unconsistencies this may have caused;; the lines were(("anyone denying that 2008 will be a great year for sony is a galoot
with an impressive lineup of new revolutionnary new ips like littlebigplanet, infamous(and many others) and proven franchises ps3 will simply rock no doubt about it... ")) i don't deny what i uttered just to seem unbiased because actually now i am convince me otherwise;;

360 owners say this list is incomplete.
Well,so is the PS3 & Wii list(s).

Games we have'nt heard of do exist ya know.

Thats what you pic for 360 games as a Sony fanboy lol.

360's possible AAA and AA titles plus possible flops:

GOW2
WarHound
Fable2
Alan Wake
Halo wars
Too Human
Huxley
Splinter Cell
Project Offset
Infernal
APB
Thessis
Elveon
Might and Magic
War Hammer
Banjo
Ninja Gaiden 2
Left 4 Dead
KUF/COD

PS3's possible AAA and AA titles plus possible flops:

MGS4
FF13
FF versus 13
GOW3
GT5
Resistance 2
Killzone 2
infamous
jak and daxter
8 days
Motorstorm2
L.A. Noire.

We'll see if MGS4 will be the game everybody wants it to be with its silly ass gameplay and a wacky concept, could be a block buster in Japan though.

The difference PS3 fanboys should be worried about is Sony has to boast and market games not yet out they hype the sh*t out of games not out (and the same dam 3 or 4 games from years ago to).

MSFT keeps all their stuff secret suprizing their fanbase only talking about games durring shows.

You people must be out of your minds with the super success MSFT has had *thinking MSFT doesn't have dozens of games being developed knowing all the while Sony's supposed heavy hitter are comming in 2008*.

Yes I know theres missing games on both lists. http://xbox360.ign.com/inde...

I remember back in 2006, when I waited in line for my PS3. Everyone said, ok we got off to a slow start, but next year, watch as Sony takes over. Heck, the line-up looked so impressive that IGN predicted that PS3 would take over 360 by the end of 2007. What happend? Broken promise after lost excusitivity after delay after delay. Sony just can't cut it in this generation and they are going to suffer. From all their games supposedly releasing this Fall like Killzone 2, LittleBigPlanet, GT5: Prolouge, HOME and even MGS4, they all got delayed to Spring 08, and even now you're seeing one by one these are getting delayed. SCEE's blog said that KZ2, and LBP are now due for an October 08 release. The Home BETA is now due for a Spring 08 release, and MGS4 got delayed to sometime in Q2-Q3. Expect more delays, except more empty promises. If Sony continues this same way, they aren't going to win the console war. And from the looks of it, they aren't changing anytime soon.

No one can stop it

haha, i couldn't help but laugh at how delusional fandroids are. If Sony comes last in 2007 they will come last in 2008.

I was over on Amazon browsing for games, and I see that they have a November 15, 2008 date for Gears of War 2 and pre-order available...of course, this can change, but it made me sit up in my seat...lol...but yeah, Sony has an incredible line-up next year...what if Sony gets their CROWN back? "Kutaragi is BAAAACK" lol...WOW...it'll shake things up and make things INTERESTING, no doubt...if Sony is #1 where would that leave the Wii? What will MS do IF they are suddenly pushed to 3rd place?! Don't answer that...LOL...What if the Wii is pushed to 3rd place?! WAR OF THE GAMING WORLDS!...This is gonna get GOOD...REAL good...

the ps3 has a great list of exclusive proven franchises that's what makes it different from the 360's list
and as we can see sometimes proven franchise may have a lot more effect than any new ip and with ones as big as mgs and ff the 360 seems weak
you can't deny this fact,,, let me give you an example,, back in september when halo3 launched 360 got a magnificent boost to its sales but if go back a little bit more to august when an even greater game launched why didn't it raise 360's sales as halo did;;;; one main reason it is a new franchise and new means doubt,, so that's why the ps3 is poised to dominate next year

Woot that PS3 line up is so nice. Right now I'm enjoying R&C, and Uncharted, along with Warhawk. Been playing Fire Pro Returns and Shadow of Colossus is being delivered this week. Superbad on Blu-Ray and still playing Tekken 5 DR:Online. Next year is just amazing. And my Wii will finally play other games besides Smash Bros, Galaxy, and Metroid Prime 3 when Brawl is out. Wow and everyone thought this year was the year of the Gamers.

2008 will be the year where most third party companies leave PS3. Looking at sales like:

- COD4 360 = 1,5 millions vs COD4 PS3 = 400,000
- Ass.Creed 360 = 900,000 vs Ass.Creed PS3 = 300,000

its clear that its a wast of time creating games for PS3. Even there "top game" aren't selling and where close to Christmas! But it still a good blue ray player.

Calm down people you will all be playing good games all year through whether its the 360 the PS3 or the Wii.

...2008 will not be any different

http://en.wikipedia.org/wik... Now tell who has 08?

Alan Wake
Huxley
Warhounds
GoW2

But you guys keep saying 360 exclusive when it's obviously not.

I love how the Xbots like to discredit PS3 owners with PC's.
Meaning,what if you don't own a 360 or PS3?You can still get those same games on PC.

NOT EXCLUSIVE!!!
PS3 owners also have Mouse and Keyboard support,remember?

And will open the floodgates to dominating London

Well, while PS3 has several heavy hitters, lets not forget that Wii has SSBB (Previous Smash Bros sold millions on the dead GameCube) and WiiFit (Which I hate from the buttom of my heart but that won't change the facts that many lost souls will go for it).

Actually open up their wallets and buy these games then yes, 2008 will be Sony's year. They don't have a very good track record though...the fact that "Uncharted" didn't crack the top 10 in November is pathetic.

360 as the ability to have a price cut therefore more people will buy it...it has a large list of library

no one really cares about playstation

360 is the next ps2

price will make a difference in the future not just games
just look at the wii

next year will actually be nintendo wii's best year.....and sony coming last as usual..nothing will change

I hope so. Sony should sustain the media blitzkrieg.

Microsoft and the XBOX360 are so smart that it's funny.

Prior to the Christmas Season, the fanboys were all screaming for Microsoft to drop the price of the XBOX360 to a lower level than the initial price drop. Instead, they released the XBOX Arcade Edition, and seemingly got on the same monetary level as the Nintendo Wii.

Microsoft is thinking...
"Why put all of our eggs in one basket? Why shoot our load now? Let's save some bullets for 2008."

Sony is primed and ready. They've been criticized for not having AAA titles that will sell hardware and have also been criticized for their price point.

Microsoft knows this.

So to offset the banner titles that Sony will release in LATE 2008, Microsoft will combat it with a staggering price drop. That drop will take place during Christmas 2008. In addition, expect Gears of War 2 to stomp onto the scene and steal thunder away from all consoles involved.

You see, the first half of 2008 will belong to Nintendo. Super Smash Brothers will be a juggernaut. And Microsoft will maintain its 2nd Place position. Grand Theft Auto will sell far more copies on the XBOX360 than the PS3. That will drive sales of the XBOX360 alone. That additional downloadable content is too much to pass up.

So in my opinion, once the AAA titles start to drop for Sony, they will have lost even more market share. The margin will widen.

The key is that FIRST supposed AAA title. Is that Killzone 2?

That title (or whichever is first) had better sell like hotcakes. If not, Sony is REALLY in for a long year.

The developers are watching Uncharted die a slow death. They can only take so much...

its amazing how deliusional these sony boys are, ive been on this site since it was 2 separate sits, an yes you sony boys were saying WAIT until the PS3 launches its gonna destroy the 360, wait until the king arrives to takes it place, all that crap!! the PS3 launched an none of that happened, then you guys were talking about how RFOM was better tahn GOW an how Lair an HS would be the game that SHOWS that the PS3 is better than the 360, those games came an none of those claim of superiority came with them. you guys bragged up R&C an uncharted as the next games to blow away the 360, what happened NOTHING!! now its KZ2,LBP an MGS4 an home, when all that come an the PS3 still dont show its superiority then what are you going to say, you guys are running out of 5hit to wait for!! I dont know why it matters if the PS3 comes out on top. I own both systems an I hardly ever turn on my PS3. if you guys think that the 360 aint got something up its sleeve for 2008 then your crazy!!

I dont think it will do any better then it is now....people are waiting for reasons and there seems too be none as we speak.....lets see how mgs4 plays...no problems like pes08...not breaking up multiplayer is a good start....ff13 is like 2009 so its a non issue..so is my reason too buy a ps3...god of war 3.

<<<<<<< <<< Class >> >>>>>>>

1 word NO!! because they didnt do it there first year like they said an sure as hell didnt do it this year so yah NO!.

Just by looking at line-up's and library's I would say MS had concentrated its heat to arrive at a time when the ps3 and wii were being introduced. Intentionally to thwart critical reception of the 360's two rivals.

The concentrated effort had a mass effect and 2007 went to 360 though in install base despite a year headstart they lost to wii. We all know 360 was going to get first strike. Its attatchment rate is what it flaunts now yet its competition has just begun to unleash its arsenal of exclusives.

2008 line-up shows that Sony's been forming up like voltron and is about to unload a can o kick as$ gaming. Ninty struggles to produce hardware to meet demand.

Wii brings No more Heroes to the states in 08 so they got something but the line up is lacking compared to its higher powered rival's.

Wii is like a gaming alternative though so it almost seperates itself from traditional console gaming and could very well continue its snowball success.

Still anyones game. If you don't discriminate its all your game. In my room system wars are different. 5 systems rival each other but are like a 5-man cell of shinobi's who battle boredom when called too.

If nothing else Sony gains ground in 08 and sets itself up to take over in 09.

Its only a matter of time with PS3 because its specs can withstand age better then any console on the market.

Both consoles have great lineups. Maybe 2008 will be as great of a year for gaming as 2007 was ! Im stoked - bring on the games !

yep, i will be first to admit sony's line-up is looking REAL sweet next year.

however will the exec's at MS top such killer games??.....hmmm...let me see.... the number one advantage MS has over sony this generation is price point. What if they take the games out of the premium and drop it to $279 and drop the arcade to the PROVEN SWEET SPOT for the MASS MARKET to $199.....and to make it sweeter, drop the prices of the 360 around the time GTA4 with exclusive 360 episodic content comes out. GTA4 being the most anticipated AAA bloackbuster game of 2008 that will sh*t on any other game next year as far as sales.

And as far as the Wii....i dont see it slowing down next year either, especially if they drop their price to $199.

PS3 will still be in a distant 3rd next year, and when this gen is over, the people at sony will have learned a valuable lesson, just because it has the name brand Sony PS doesn't mean you can force a new format like blu-ray to GAMERS and expect them to pay premium, when they can get a 360 that plays the same type of games.

Blu ray is great for games PS3 is lucky and has the advantage in later years due to blu ray.

Sony will be awarded for bringing free network to console gaming IMO.

Definitely a more exciting lineup on the 360 for me anyway, I don't know how Banjo Kazooie keeps getting overlooked in these ever-tedious reminders of what's coming in '08 that every gaming site feels the need to run. But yeah, Rare will do the business.. I believe they also have another game coming next year as well? Potential sequel for VP or PD please, either will do.

The whole keeping quiet until '08 policy is fine, but I'd expect them to get it together pretty quick next year. More Alan Wake, Splinter Cell, Fable 2, Ninja Gaiden 2 info is required for sure but something pretty bad would have to go wrong for them not to deliver. Gears of War 2 seems reasonably likely, and then there's the games like Left 4 Dead, All Points Bulletin, Infinite Undiscovery and "project offset" that we know even less about but are intriguing nonetheless.

That's not to say Sony's lineup is anything but awesome - Metal Gear Solid looks absolutely fantastic.

hahaha! dream on

Is 2008 Sony's Year?
NO. Sony cheerleaders this rise in sales is only due to the price drop, Christmas holidays and a cheap Blu Ray player.

both lineups are looking great but the next thing you guys have to take into consideration is whats games are people most interested in. for me im more hyped for gears 2 than MGS4 but thats just me. im more excited for GOW 3 than NG2, again thats just me. what if multiplat games like madden an AC an many other continue to be better on the 360 than the PS3, whats gonna raise sony to the top!! you guys cant forget that games like madden ALWAYS sell more than games like MGS4 an if the 360 continues to have the better version who do you think that will benefit the most. as huge as GTA4 is gonna be, what if the 360 version is just a tad bit better wether its frame rate or what ever, added with the downloadable content who is that gonna help the most!!you guys are just assuming that the PS3 is gonna have a better year than the 360 based on 3 games. FF,MGS4,KZ2. you not taking into account that ALL other PS3 games are selling POORLY, but your just gonna say that the PS3 will sell better!!

2008 PS3 will definitely close the gap between it and it's competitors. I don't think it'll take the lead but with the great games coming out and the fantastic exclusives it's going to be a damn good year for Sony, the Nintendorks and X-BOts will see their lead shrink to nothing come 2008.

Just more hopes and dreams for the sony fanboys. They were destroyed in 2007 so the only excuse they have is "wait for 2008." They only have MGS and GT. Everything else might just be another Lair, Heavenly Sword, Folklore, etc... Games that average 7's and under.

the economy system of the brokebox was a fad. It was a way for ppl to game next gen while waiting for the PS3. Now theye are stuck with an inferior machine. The beast is loose and the PS3 might sell 13 million next year

Heres something for you all to chew on. Instead of picking games which look rather hardcore on paper judjing from some of the lists in this thread, put together lists of games that would appeal to the mass market as surely this is the audience the big 3 need to concentrate on.....The masses are still out there.

and with all those PS3 commercials taking over all the channels and the Soccer games, Sony is doing almost "beyond" great.

I've been watching those Soccer games on sports net and this morning it was Arsenal vs Chelsea and I've noticed those cool digital billboards
showing the PLAYSTATION 3 on it.

Sony is here to stay, Europe is where its at.

08 "IS" Sony's year!

Its a good match up its like this:

PS3 is Bruc3 L33 vs Chuck N0rris as 360 VS wii as Jet Lii.

All bets are off no holds bars Sunday Sunday Sunday....every Sunday in 2008.

It will go back and forth. Yet Bruce takes them down in the end.

Yes Yes Yes. End of Discussion!

Majority of people here act like Micro$oft and Nintendo are going to just sit and watch PS3 takeover. Don't you people think that X360 (and Wii) will also have great AAA games and/or lower price? No one can give you an answer to "is 2008. Sony's year". Only time will tell.

A lot of people say "there's no way to counter FFXIII, MGS4...", but, if I remember correctly, those people also said that "their is no way to counter Lair, Heavenly Sword, Uncharted...". I mean, those are really good games, but they've commercially failed (or so it seems)...

The best thing anyone can do is to just shut up, and play a system of his choice. There's really no point in trying to predict the future...

My, oh my. This comments section is HUGE! I read through a little, but I thought I would write a comment myself before 12 O'Clock the next morning. :) I can see a lot of people are excited for 2008, and why not? Sony may have the Colossus of line-ups, but Microsoft and Nintendo are just as determined in providing gamers with a bontiful amount of quality games. As gamers, it is our job to reap the rewards. So when 2008 comes, let's purchase the $hi+ out of those games.

Sony fans, are we in luck or what? After providing us with quite the offering in 2007 with Uncharted, Heavenly Sword, Ratchet and Clank Future, Folklore, WarHawk, and Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Sony wants to pamper us even more with dozens of more possibilities. So when does 2008 start, PS3 fans? I say, it starts with Haze in January, and possibly SingStar too. Lucky for us, we don't have to wait a month for another quality game. We can start enjoying the year right from the get-go. Now I know how extremely annoying list wars can be, but try not to think of it like that. Bear with me. There are many out there who still wonder what is in store for next year, or maybe have simply forgotten because of the surplus in entertainment. So here for you now, I provide a tentative list of what may come.

- Afrika
- The Agency
- Angel Rings (Don't get mad, its quiet for a reason! :) )
- Disgaea 3
- Eight Days
- EchoChrome
- Eyedentify
- Final Fantasy XIII (If we are incredibly lucky.)
- flOwer
- Getaway 3
- Gran Turismo 5: Prologue
- Haze
- Heavy Rain
- Heavenly Sword 2
- HOME
- Hot Shots Gulf 5
- inFAMOUS
- KillZone 2
- LittleBigPlanet
- Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
- MotorStorm 2
- Naruto PS3 Project (Believe it!)
- Ni-Oh
- Resistance: Fall of Man 2
- SingStar
- SOCOM: Confrontation
- Tekken 6
- Valkyrie of the Battlefield
- WarDevil
- Way of the Samurai 3
- White Knight Story
- Yakuza 3

How's that for you? Think you can find a game you like? With as much variety as there is, I would think it impossible not to find one game out of that list not to get excited about. And this is a list of only confirmed PS3 exclusives coming out in '08. I would have put Star Ocean 4 in there, but I don't know if it will make it this year. Plus, I'm betting Twisted Metal PS3 will make its debut sometime in 2008, but that's beside the point. :)

You hang in there Xbox fans? Now it's your time: time for your list. With 2008 right around the corner, what do you have to look forward to? Well, quite a bit it seems. Take it in. Take it all in.

- Alan Wake
- Fable 2
- Gears of War 2
- Halo Wars
- Huxley
- Infinite Undiscovery
- Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom
- Left 4 Dead
- Lost Odyssey
- Ninja Gaiden 2
- Too Human
- Warhound

Sure not as many, but, still, those titles could get quite a following going. On top of that, Microsoft has been very quiet about future titles. We'll see what else Microsoft has in store for us.

Now, for the Wii. I've got to be honest, though. The line up, to me, is not too impressive. A matter of fact, I think it is the least impressive of the three. Sure, there seems to be quite a few destined-for-greatness titles, but what about beyond that. I want to see more. I don't think I am a very demanding person, but the offerings just do not appeal to me right now. But, at least I can count on one or two little known titles. :)

- Animal Crossing Wii
- Disaster: Day of Crisis
- Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors
- Final Fantasy Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers
- Mario Kart Wii
- No More Heroes
- Super Smash Brothers Brawl

Hopefully, Nintendo has much to announce. While the above titles can excite many a gamer, but I want to play many more games than that on my Wii next year. I know you can do it Nintendo. You've done it before. Show me what you got!

Now those are lists to get excited for. There are so many games for each system that no one should go home wanting. 2008 is our year. So let's make the best of it. Let's support those developers who made us who we are in the first place. Enjoy, gamers. :)

The only thing i'd use the wii for is sports, or something like bowling,boxing. But thats all.

xbox360 has a few nice looking titles. Gears 2 is gonna be quite awhile i'm guessing, but hey you never know.

The ps3 has the biggest lineup and some sweet looking titles as well, personally its gonna be sonys year, and then so is 2009, 2010, etc. I can't see anyone stoping sony once it gets going.

But 360 fans remember,in 4-5 years from now when MS pulls the plug on the 360 and releases the '720'.Your 720 will have everything the PS3 has now.So it's not all bad.

The PS3 has the best exclusive line-up for 2008 as long as the games for it are released on schedule.

So with that said, if KZ2 turns out to be great and multi-plats get better, IMO Sony can easily win 2008.

Anyone who knows videogames knows that next year is sony's Year and from there on the ownage will never stop till the end of this generations life cycle. These days I've been at the stores and the PS3 is selling INSANELY good.

back in them days when PS brand was dominant, them days are over.

The 360 does have some good games coming out next year, bot no system sellers unless Gears2 comes out. And i`m not sure if Gears will be enough to ruin Sony`s line up. GT5, MGS4, FFXIII, KILLZONE2. Man i`m glad i got a ps3. But if the 360 does better i`ll still win as i have a 360 as well,

Whilst I only own a PS3 (the Wii does not appeal and I will never forgive Bill Gates for what is known as Windows, so I will not line his pockets with more of my money), I have to say that all 3 consoles have a strong line-up for the foreseeable future.

However, just as only a fool would bet against strong sales of Halo 3 or GTA 4, how can anyone bet against the PS3 line-up? Yes it is not a forgone conclusion. However, both Final Fantasy XIII and MGS4 appear to be mind blowing and a far reach from the last generation.

GT5 is looking beyond anything anyone could ever dream. Killzone 2 could be one of (if not the best) the best games of next year. LBP looks not just interesting, but also shows a lot of innovation.

This all may look rosy for Sony, but considering the sales of Uncharted. You have to wonder, what will a game have to contain before people will give a PS3 game a good score based on its own merit. IMO yes some of the PS3 games are far from perfect, however so are the games of this year that have also achieved a higher rating.

IMO all the companies will be playing leapfrog throughout 2008, however I would never bet against Sony putting in a strong showing.

Hey Sony fans, your so-called "exclusive" games ain't got nothing to a proven and successful Microsoft game franchise that will have another sequel coming up next year. The game is---

The Red Ring of Death 2: Gamer's Heartbreak Edition

Traditional exclusive features only available on the 360:
-RROD (gamers' favorite game mode)

program or in-store extended warranty with an extra cost
