Depends on how it will sell at 299$/€.

And i hope you meant in terms of SALES?
Because in terms of GAMES it was already N1 in 2008, and will be continue being N1 in next 5-7 years atleast. =)

 

 This I disagree with. Personally I am also a JRPG lover and 360 easily has the better pick of 2008. VC for instance I would never like, because SRPG I dont really like. Also Considering Gears 2 is in my top 3 games of all time. I have to disagree entirely. As do probably at least 20 mill 360 owners out of the 27 mill.

 

     Out of the big $60.00 exclusives from 2008, the 360 only had two games that managed anything approaching respectable review scores while the PS3 had two 9+ exclusives compared to the 360's 1 at Game Rankings and at IGN the PS3 had four 9+ exclusives from these games while the 360 had 1 9+ exclusive 1 high 8 game, and the rest were B-'s and Cs.  Game Trailers said the PS3 had the best game lineup in 208.  In 2009, I predict Alan Wake will be a C or B-, ODST will be a B+, and Halo Wars will be a B to B+.  Meanwhile the PS3 will have several A games released throughout 2009.

Thats bullshit. The 360 had more exclusives come out in 2008 than the PS3. It's just that their exclusives majority came out earlier in the year. The 360 still has more high rated games than the PS3. 2008 was the breakout year of the PS3 from obscurity. Microsoft beat Sony in 2008. 2009 is the make or break year for Sony.

 

 

      It is true that the 360 had more exclusives come out in 2008, but as far as the quality of most of those exclusives went:

Ninja Gaiden II Metacritic score = 81

Lost Odyssey Metacritic score = 78

Tales of Vesperia Metacritic score = 81

Too Human Metacritic score = 65

Infinite Undiscovery Metacritic score = 68

The Last Remnant Metacritic score = 65

I guess they did have 3 instead of 2 exclusives in stores that managed respectable review scores

Left 4 Dead Metacritic score = 89

Gears of War 2 Metacritic score = 93

Fable 2 Metacritic score = 89

Average score = 78.78

 

Meanwhile the PS3 had

Metal Gear Solid 4 Metacritic score = 94

Little Big Planet Metacritic score = 95

Resistance 2 Metacritic score = 87

Valkyria Chronicles Metacritic score = 86

Disgaea Metacritic score = 78

Siren Metacritic score = 78

Motorstorm:  Pacific Rift = 81

SOCOM Metacritic score = 63

Haze Metacritic score = 55

Average score = 79.67

 

The most notable thing about the 360's lineup in 2009 was its large number of disappointments:  Ninja Gaiden II, Tales of Vesperia, The Last Remnant, Infinite Undiscovery, and Too Human.
