In all fairness, Bioshock is basically a slightly dumbed down System Shock 2 with awesome graphics, and all the cyberpunk stuff changed into steampunk. Calling it unproven is like saying the same about Mass Effect; they're both games by extremely competent developers that just happen to do new games rather than incredibly long franchises with the ordinal numbers in the double digits, wether due to preference, or lacking the rights to their previous game's name. 

bingo, but usually they wont accept that arguement

if we follow this then these IP should be fantastic

Halo wars-made by the makers of ages of empire so........
Alan wake- makers of max payne, i have alot of faith it will be good

the rest are made by very good developers, but we dont know if they will be "great" because they are not developers quite on par with people like bioware etc

for ps3 to pass 360 ps3's exlusive should be big sellers

 You're right, don't forget Gears of War though.

What are the 360's proven IP's that are coming out next year...that will be system sellers? Not being cheeky, just interested.

There are probably more that I don't know about.

PS3 will never beat Xbox 360.
First and foremost it is a blu ray player, then a games console, maybe. If and when sony win the HD format war, then they might take the PS3 seriously and focus on games.
Until then, it is just a trojan horse to get BR players into peoples homes, sony is relying on games console suckers buying the PS3, getting bored cause there are no games and using it for movies instead. They are making bucket loads of $ out of PSP and PS2, they dont need a 3rd games console. sony has invested tens of millions of $ into blu ray, that is their #1 focus with PS3 and until they win that HD war, PS3 is just a beautifully engineered doorstop.

Now X360-PS3=6.72m,
If PS3 pass X360 in the end of year 2009, then

6720k/(52*2+12)=57.9k

PS3 should win X360 57.9k every week from now.

Is it possible?

There you go and many more but thats a quick glance of titles that are going to be out next year for the 360. Many of which are multi-platform, but knowing that the 360 versions are going to be out first except Unreal Tournament 3 and GTA 4. All the rest are going to make some impact on the 360. Unreal Tournament in general, since the 360 is a FPS console. So Unreal Tournament 3 is going to sell better than the PS3 version.

PS3 and Nintendo users make its seem like no 360 games are going to be released this year since Microsoft isn't talkng about it. Oh the hell well. We 360 owners will pinpoint the games that are going to be going gold in 2008 and they are some listed above.

No its not possible. The 360 will just have to stop selling in 2008 and 2009 for the PS3 to catch up. And thats not going to happen. Microsoft in general is not going to let Sony come back. You would see Microsoft make price cuts before stuff happens like that.
