its physically imossible for 360 or wii to have a lineup like the ps3e lineup of 2009, the 1st party titles are amazing and will continue. not to mention possible 3rd party exclusives also. 2009 another hgreat year. i want to know more about 360 and wii 2009 lineup all i can think for 360 is alan wake nd foorza 3, if gt5 makes it in 2009 which im sure it will they should launch same day as forza 3. the true exclusives on ps3 will never be timed or anything they remeain on the best console this gen.

It's not impossible. If enough of the PS3's 2009 lineup gets delayed and Microsoft announces more games during 2009 than Sony, I could realistically see the 360's lineup coming within reasonable range of the PS3's. However, it's pretty unlikely. Microsoft will be much more hard-set to snatch third-party exclusives with the PS3 having a 4:5 ratio to the 360 in total worldwide sales. That being said, here's a look into the 360's 2009 exclusive lineup.

1st Party Developed
Forza Motorsport 3 (Turn 10 Studios)
Halo: Chronicles (Wingnut Interactive)
Halo Wars (Ensemble Studios)
Untitled New Rare IP #1 (Rare)
Untitled New Rare IP #2 (Rare)

2nd Party Developed
Alan Wake (Remedy Entertainment)
Blue Dragon 2 (Mistwalker)
Cry On (Mistwalker)
Halo 3: Recon (Bungie)
Mass Effect 2 (BioWare)
Ninety-Nine Nights II (Q Entertainment)
Ninja Blade (From Software)
Scene It? 3 (Screenlife)

3rd Party Developed
Star Ocean: The Last Hope (tri-Ace / Square Enix)
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction (Ubisoft Montreal)

Mind you, that list is being pretty generous. I find it very unlikely that Mistwalker will manage to release both Blue Dragon 2 AND Cry on in 2009 (It will likely either be one or the other) and saying Mass Effect 2 is a 2nd party developed game is presumptuous since there is a fair chance that it may go multiplatform. Even as generous as it is though, I'm still not gullible enough to think that Lionhead has any chance of releasing their mysterious new IP by the end of 2009. I think it's pretty clear to just about everyone that the PS3's lineup is much more attractive and will sell hundreds of thousands of more consoles than the 360's lineup.

well thats certainly a genorous list no doubt, but titles as in 2008 will be again better in 2009 on ps3 than 360.
