Alan Wake will outsell both those titles. Alan Wake is going to be the BioShock or Mass Effect of 2008, big story, in-depth story telling and ground-breaking in many ways.
KZ2 is going to be the most expensive failure in videogame history -- the Ishtar of videogames if you will.
And, LBP has much to prove, so far, it looks like a physics toy? LBP == much to prove, and not looking like its more than Halo 3's Foundry without the fun.
gameplayer.co.uk is a playstation zealot site.
When Sony makes a MGS4 bundle, N4G thinks its a great move.
When a rumour of MS making a GTA4 bundle, we get stories calling it a "panic".
sad.
That looks really interesting, I had no idea that Braid was that kind of innovative platformer.
I was expecting a straight run & jump.

"I don't think any one of them even knows it's coming to the 360 as well."
That is untrue and you know it. Wait until the commercials start to roll out...
Finally some sense here. Price matters _so_ much to the mass market.
I've got friends and family who just dont want to pay too much for their next-gen machine. They've had machines before. Dont play all the time -- they are casual gamers.
They'll pickup a few sports games, GH, GTA... the Forza 2 Bundle is good, but its still priced for early adopters here in the USA.
A game like Scene It? And the Party Trivia games that are sure to come for the ...
I have two cousins waiting to get their Xbox 360 also.
They arent serious gamers either, they play EA NHL, GTA, Guitar Hero -- their wives may be interested in something like Brain Challenge, XBLA Puzzle games or Scene It?
They're waiting for the next price cut here, then they'll be getting an Elite or Pro to use for the Media Capabilities and for part-time gaming.

Thankfully MS changed the system in mid-2007 to get rid of the heat issues.
Problem fixed. The Xbox 360 no longer has any heat issues. That's the best news.
What is this "speed difference" you're talking about? Ive used Vista personally and professionally since beta.
You're talking out your *arse* methinks.
Great write up, thanks. That's a lot of memories for me.
You know what is terrible? You even hate naked women if it is associated with the Xbox 360.
That's terrible.
You are 10000000% dead on.
You should see how they co-ordinate the approval processes now. Any article critical of PS3 is reported until it fails (even if it is worthy enough to be approved).
And, they scrap up every nonsense article they can find all-over the internet that defames MS, Vista, Xbox 360 or any other product.
If it is Microsoft, and it is negative, the same thing happens. It gets instantly approved without issue, and the usual cabal...
What on earth are you talking about? Can you even explain that nonsense?
Well, Microsoft and this article tell you you're wrong. What the heck do you know?
Stand-alone NG2 sales will exceed MGS4 sales.
Konami probably forced the bundle to get the sales up in order to keep it exclusive... without that bundle, MGS4 probably wouldnt even make the Top 5 in its first week.
Ninja Gaiden doesnt need any help, its going to clean up.
I know a couple people who've got their PS3 for sale -- do you want their phone number?
Probably the biggest Adventure game of 2008. I'll be pre-ordering this.
" It has millions of technical issues and the graphics are terrible."
No. The Graphics are some of the best yet of the Generation (say, as good as BioShock or Gears) and was *UNIFORMELY PRAISED*.
Like, many many many awards.
If Mass Effect *did* have a PS3 version, it would have a HIGHER average review score than *ANY* PS3 exclusive.
Lemme show you something, Top 10 PS3 Games:
1 Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfar...
"Name one JRPG that is actually good and not a FF knockoff"
ALL OF THEM.
It BLOWS my MIND that you'd say something so ridiculous. You do know that the man RESPONSIBLE for FF -- Hironobu Sakaguchi LEFT Square Enisx (who still owns FF) to make games for the Xbox 360?
Lost Odyssey was MADE by Hironobu Sakaguchi, the man who created Final Fantasy and Nobuo Uematsu the composer for all the Final Fantasy games.
Blue Dragon, the ...
Blue Dragon is a 3 disc epic, it took me over 90 hours on my first play-through.
That is 90 hours of *play time*. So, I change the disc *3* times in the many weeks it took me to play it.
your reaching son.
Dont compare what Alan Wake _will be_ in September with unreleased Demos that you are seeing for games due in 2009 (and beyond).
If Alan Wake looks as good as shown, it will set the new high-water-mark for console graphics.
