I think 2008 has to be considered a success for the platform (outsold 360 didn't it...), and if anyone fails to see the momentum that is being built in terms of sales and software they are just playing a role. Compared to 360, 2008 and beyond is likely going to be the years of PS3..whatever that is worth.
I do think Sony would be well served to somehow get God of War III , GT5 (full version) and FFvs out early 2009
HOWEVER....I don't think either MS or Sony will ever have "THE YEAR" they want to, neither is going to emulate the success of the PS2, which is what they want.
