Killer Instinct 3 would be little more than a niche title, not a Halo-/Gears-style heavy-hitter.

The Halo 3 expansion and Mass Effect 2 will probably be their biggest titles next holiday season. You never know, though; there's always the possibility of a new IP blowing everyone away the way the first Gears did. Of course, Sony or Nintendo could just as easily have such a new IP instead.

 

That may be possible for the Wii, however I think Sony can't keep their collective mouths shut about anything.  Thats why they talk up games 4 years out ( which still pisses me off severely).

You realise there are 3-4 rumoured games which are said to look amazing, but have not been announced. For M$ we don't really know, because we can't theorize where they are going to come from

But for Sony, there is the rumoured Japanese game, the Sony Liverpool action game, another Sony London game, {next ratchet is pretty much confirmed} as well as the most recent rumour that there are 5 RPGs in development at Sony

 

OT: I don't think Microsoft are going to have a massive game this year. Unfortunately, Mass Effect 2 is not big enough to fall into that category (though it does deserve it) and I don't think Recon does as well, I certainly doubt it will move hardware (though I did say that about GeoW 2...). Alan Wake certainly won't be that game, and I don't really know what they could have up their sleeve. Maybe the GTA IV DLC is what they expect to be big?
