You know what after reading the posts and looking at 2008 releases, I don't think Chrismas 07 or 08 is the most crucial. I changed my mind.

The Xbox360 fate will be decided in the next 12 weeks. Two Worlds and Eternal Sonata (a good JRPG) real soon, Halo 3, and then GTA IV and Guitar Hero III at the end. If these games don't significantly revitalize the 360 sales I don't see unknown franchises like Bioshock or Mass Effect (or $200 Rock Band) doing anything dramatic.

It really comes down to Halo 3 and if $50 makes a difference, do people own a 360 and are they waiting or are people going to buy a 360 for Halo 3 later.

hum if I recall halo was an unknown licence too :) if marketed correctly those two new licence could do the same or at least good....

 

@killzone 3

you have Fable 2, Banjo-Kazoie 3, warhound, cry on, dance dance revolution universe 2,huxley, infinite undiscovery, DOA5, halo project (hte peter jackson stuff), halo wars, Dark mesahia, too huma, alan wake, GOW 2, America's army, culdcept saga

 

all exclusive 360 and ONE MORE TIME MS didn't communicate yet on 2008 this year... so we don't know any new things than what we already knew..... where Sony already revealed a big chunk wich is still small.....

i'm not saying one is better than the other for next year.... but you can't say yet either which one is.... especially depending on the results of this year of both consoles, the devs might change their minds on exclu... on one or the other console...

 

 

 well yes but the pb with PC is the need of upgrade.... the adventage of consoles is you have it and it's fine until the next gen.....

for what you said I agree some people won't buy a PS3 this year for the reason you said..... but will they wait or buy a price cut XB or a WII and wait next year to buy a PS3 or even not buy it at all.... I have some friends who say they gonna buy PS3 with MGS 4 play it and give in back right away.... and a lot of them say that... as much in france or in USA... and most my friend in france were PS2 fanboys... a lot are thinking about shifting to XB as soon as the price cut fall and the falcon RRoD pb are fixed
