In my opinion,I belive the the PS3 is going to win this gen in the end. I think only two of the 360's big games for the rest of this year are going to live up to the hype: Fallout 3 (due to exclusive dlc but prettier graphics on the PS3) and Gears of War 2 (and I don't mean that it will live up to the hype by being the greatest game of all time like its fans want to proclaim it will but that it will get a AAA review score from IGN probably at least a 9.4 but no higher than a 9.7). Halo Wars might or might not be able to get as high as a 9.0 at IGN; however, since it is an rts rather than a shooter the question pops up will it be as popular as the Bungie games? How have other rts games faired on 360? Most 360 fans don't seem as into more complex games as they are shooters. Look at how the jrpgs have fared saleswise. Also, I think Fable 2 like NG II and Too Human will be a disappointment to most fans review wise. Left 4 Dead will be better on PC.
In the meantime, the PS3 will continue to improve its sales with games like Little Big Planet, Resistance 2 (I believe it will get a review score almost as high as Gears of War 2 at IGN), Mirror's Edge (with exclusive dlc on the PS3), a superior version of the new Prince of Persia, and more. The PS3's sales are up almost 80% percent from this time last year while both 360 and the Wii's ( to a lesser extent at this time) are down, and the PS3 is just starting to take off.
"The 360 will most likely be around 25 million at the end of 2008, and you expect it to only sell 5 million more units over the next two years? Have you even considered that prediction at all: Microsoft is virtually assured to crush the PS3 this holiday season due to a better lineup (again) and much, much better prices.
Expect the 360 to be at 30 million units around this time next year and expect it to reach about 45 million units total. The PS3 might reach that many units as well if Sony makes some good pricing moves."
My most anticipated games: Whatever Hideo Kojima is going to do next, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Gran Turismo 5, Alan Wake, Wii Sports Resort. Cave Story Wiiware.
