First of all, I do not idolize Microsoft, if I could I would change many things about 360, but I am just giving you the list that you have asked for, second of all. I was just saying that there would be no reason for PS3 to have such high sales(16m), because my opinion differs to yours and I have provide the facts as to why I think PS3 won't have as much sales considering the fact that unless there is another price cut planned for this year, more customers will purchase a cheaper alternative - 360.
As I was saying, the main reasons for the PS3 MAJOR success last year were:
*Price cuts, large price cut in UK
*Release of Slimmer model which caused discontinuation of older models, therefore affected the prices of the old models as stock was cleared.
*Lineup has somewhat affected the not yet decided people.
And PS has a MUCH larger fanbase, after all, PS1 and PS2 did shift around 250-300M consoles in their lifetime.

Your right and your list support my claim in saying you are exagerating. With the list you posted I dont see how it support your statement of: "On the 360 front however, there is unrest as several exclusive titles have been announced,".

Why not, the exclusives that I think will sell well, and I guarantee 3-4M lifetime at LEAST
Alan Wake, Halo Reach, Mass Effect 2(Might be doubtful a bit here, but is a highly critics acclaimed game), SC:C, Crackdown 2, Fable III and probably more that will be announced at E3, as I have mentioned it would be a good idea to wait until E3 but the list is considerably better in comparison with the 2009. More exclusives would mean that the consoles can suck away the customer base from the other one. As I said it is possible that Sony will pull off another 13M year, but 16m is being a tad bit too optimistic!

Yes the list is better from 2009, 360 have great games released and coming. The thing is, why are you specifying its on 360 front only, you even said, in a previous post that the PS3 library would stale at some point. But PS3 have as much exclusives released and coming. What I know is both have great lineup. I know that because im interested and get informations on both libraries. Some (not all dont worry) of your statements make abstraction of the reality. In doing so it make you seem like what we call a "fanboy" at some point. Would be great if you can work a bit more on your post in the future. Instead of basing your judgment only on a part of the reality your better suspending it or getting information on the subject ;).

Ah I guess I should have provided a list of the exclusives that I have read of on PS3 as well, well excluding the JRPGS(Which sell poorly in the West and mediocre in Japan - same for 360);
GoW3, GT5(Not yet decided, doubt it'll be 2010), Heavy Rain - The sales have staled dramatically already, Twisted Metal - that got a few people excited and I have played those games on PS1 - not bad racing games, MAG, FFIV(But it's also for PC), FFXII Versus, The Last Guardian, White Knight Chronicles
To conclude the list, the "juggernauts" or the ones that have made an appearance in the past and were found wanting are:
GoW3
GT5(not yet announced)
FFXIII Versus
Newcomers -
Heavy Rain
The Last Guardian
White Knight Chronicles
Imo Heavy Rain had a fun concept I have no clue why the sales are so poor on PS3.
Now if you think about the juggernauts, they are great and will guarantee up to 1-2M sales on FW and a lot more LT, except ofcourse there are fewer of them than last year - KZ2, Uncharted 2, Ratchet and Clank, inFamous, Remake of GOW I and II and many more
What did 360 have in 2009? Halo 3 ODST, Forza 3 and.. and that's it really.
The point that I am trying to make is that it is not 100% certain that the lineup for PS3 will be poor this year until we see the E3 but it is highly likely that it will be worse than that in 2009 whilst the 360 would have better lineup than in 2009(Like that's hard to top, poorest year to date imo).
