sony will beat microsoft this gen simple as that, there is gears 2 and halo wars left for 360 this gen for exclusives so it's pretty much done
not flaming just being ignorant

I remember last year, when the 360 had no exclusives left after Halo 3

Off the top of my head, the 360 still has the following exclusives coming up:

-Halo 3 Recon

-Splinter Cell: Conviction

-Alan Wake

-Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts

-APB: All Points Bulletin

-Huxley

-Ninja Blade

-Lips

-You're In The Movies (Those two WILL sell some consoles)

-WET

-Star Ocean IV

-Forza Motorsport 3

 

And don't remind me of the large list of PS3 exclusives--I know about them, they look great, I'm excited for some of them.  I'm not putting them down--I'm just not being an ignorant idiot about this issue.

None of those games with the possible exceptions of Star Ocean: The Last Hope and Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts will sell a noticable amount of systems. Halo 3: Recon, Halo Wars and Halo: Chronicles will all sell extremely well, but won't move systems due to the success of Halo 3. This is true for Forza Motorsport 3 and Mass Effect 2 as well. I've never even heard of WET and APB has been indefinitely postponed of the 360. Huxley is vaporware and you're clearly fooling yourself if you think You're in the Movies or Lips will sell consoles. In the end, Microsoft is left banking on new IPs such as Alan Wake and Ninja Blade to keep them competative in weekly sales in with Sony and Nintendo in 2009 and it's almost definitely not going to work with the Wii being what it is and Sony bringing HUGE system selling exclusives such as Gran Turismo 5, God of War III, Killzone 2 and Final Fantasy XIII in Japan.

 

I shouldn't even bother responding to this, as a non-fanboy would have noticed that I was responding to the insinuation that the 360 has nothing after Gears 2 and Halo Wars.

I also notice you tossed in a Sony list at the end there.  Original, considering I put the folowing at the end of my post:
