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.

 

So much lulz in one list. 

I can see Rare making a new game for next year, but two? When neither has yet been announced?

Forza 3 - it's rumored that Turn 10 is working on PGR5 instead, but I'd expect to see one of the two out next year

Cry On is vaporware, and it's likely AQ Interactive, the publisher, canceled the title.  And if they didn't, it could very well have gone multiplat like Vampire Rain.  Microsoft has no involvement with this Mistwalker title, fyi.

Blue Dragon 2 hasn't even been announced, but I suppose it could make it out next year.  We certainly won't see both Cry On and Blue Dragon, though.  And possibly neither.

Mass Effect 2 isn't second party.  EA bought BioWare and all of their IPs last year.

Scene It?  lulz.  It's trumped by SingStar, Buzz!, EyePet, and the rest of the casual crap Sony London puts out, that I already said was not included in my list.

The rest look alright though.  Of course, it may be too soon for Halo Chronicles, and Star Ocean is probably just timed exclusive.

And I knew eventually people would start comparing lists.  >_<
