LOL, yup you're too tired to read. I never claimed that."

You were implying it by stating that all original Xbox games had seen sequels, and by purposely ignoring the fact that many new IP's and other games on the 360 are yet to come.

 

No, that's what you read into this. I am sure there will be fine new IPs on the 360 for the years ahead. If not Microsoft can opt to buy out some good software houses like they did with Mac developers Bungie or Nintendo developers Rare. However technically I believe the 360 is now at its peak. The real eye catching games from a technical perspective will be on the PS3, I believe this will dampen enthusiasm for the 360 during the course of 2009.

Yep, Mike.  That is what you believe.  But as such, I believe the opposite.  Since nothing the PS3 has done so far has been better in a technical standpoint than any 360 game, and with Gears of War 2 being universally accepted as the best console graphics to date (no point arguing as it is universal and I could care less about the few people who "believe" some other game looks better), I don't see it having any affect in 2009.

Again you say things like:

"The real eye catching games from a technical perspective will be on the PS3, I believe this will dampen enthusiasm for the 360 during the course of 2009."

Which of course is merely speculation.  I admit you are very intelligent and a much better debater than the common Sony fanboy, but you subtely refuse to acknowledge facts or possibilties just to believe your PS3 will be the leading HD console, thus making you just as much a fanboy.

Oh NO my friend! You are sadley mistaken at what you said in the red. I am afraid you are in the very small majority who believe GoW2 has the best graphics, which in truth is barely an improvement over GoW1! Everyone who has been able to fully view the games in question KNOWS that Uncharted is still undoubtedly the BEST looking game of this generation. GoW2 struggles to pass MGS4(and I still things MGS4 looks better than it with textures that just scream at you). You can search for yourself, look up majority of any topic on which games looks better and most will say Uncharted. You may dismiss these allegations simply because it is a PS3 exclusive so you think its PS3 fanboy bias, but it is very much real my friend, there is no comparison.

And Even if GoW2 is not the best looking game of the generation, Graphics are not everything as I am sure you can agree. At some point Graphics take a back seet to functionality and immersion. Games like Uncharted, Heavenly Sword, MGS4, LBP take home those trophies as well unfortunately. Do you believe a game as exspansive as LBP can be done elsewhere to the same magnitude? Afraid not.MGS4 filled a dual layered disc, 50gb. That most definitely cannot be done on 360. Yes, you can say "Well, they could cut this, compress that, etc!" but in that case they could have cut this, compressed that in the PS3 version and got EVEN MORE out of the game. Killzone 2 graphics are unmatched as of yet. The game is said to trully impress.

You accused his last statement of being speculation, which it is. Yet can you blame him? Can you not see where he derives these assumptions? Think about the games that are said to be released in 09.

Heavy Rain-A living breathing world within itself, Cinimatic in execution, a game which never ends even if you die.

Uncharted 2-Beautiful, superb graphics, furthering the natural movements of the first game.

Killzone 2- The future holder of best looking game of all time banner. This is undeniable as anyone who has had hands on experience with it can tell you that the graphics are un rivaled. Gameplay is said to impress even further.

FFXIII?- This game is multiplat but the game was made specifically for PS3, supposedly fully utilizing the Blu Ray and the Cell. We are bound to see SOME technical marvels here as well.

WKC-Said to be another huge exspansive game to rival even the FF series. Traditional in execution with a new gen battle system to keep it fresh. Also ushering in the standard of JRPGs with online play which WRPGs have already adapted to.

HOME-to come out this year going into next. brand new experience entirely then what we are used to with gaming. Making the gaming virtual reality litterally it's/your own.

Sry for the rant, I am not trying to be hostile in anyway. Just saying, his points are very much plausible. And GoW2 being Best Grphix is just...well....wrong.

Wow, fanboy post extraordinaire!  Anyone that has examined the games in question a.k.a. me and any major review site as well as any unbiased individual that owns both a PS3 and 360 will agree with me that Gears of War 2 (and Gears of War 1 before it) has the best console graphics to date.  Sorry about how upset that makes you, but it's true nonetheless.

Oh and a game like LBP would be very easy to do on a 360, considering the actual game is only a level creator and some preset levels.  All the rest depends on how much user created content you download or how much you create.

I think the NXE is much more appealing than HOME.  NXE is fast AND community oriented.  The PS3 Home update will leave many skipping it and going straight into games.  Oh, and have you even played Gears of War 2 as well as Uncharted?  I'm guessing you haven't played them both.
