| JeffLee said: 5). lackluster 360 lineup for 08 due to 07 focus. how many people, who aren't forum whores, know much of anythign about huxley? alan wake? too human? microsofts focus on announcing and advertising this year games only does nothing but make the 360's AAA selection look as shallow as a kiddie pool. 2008 will be on us sooner then microsoft seems to think and lots of great titles may be lost to an obscure opening season in the wake of bioshock, halo 3 and mass effect. meanwhile sony has wisely choosen to hype games like mgs4, killzone 2, lbp, etc. now. Does microsoft think that the year of halo 3 marketing did nothing for their system? advance notice builds hype, where's your viral marketers?

At the risk of getting caught up in this debate, I wanted to point out that its pretty rare for console companies to focus on games that are more than 6 months away with their PR campaigns. There are only two reasons people know what is coming in '08 for the PS3, first because there isn't a whole lot going on this year and second because things have been delayed from this year to next year. Not trying to deflate your entire argument but this point just didn't make much sense to me. I think you will see MS hype their '08 games as we get closer, and I think you will see new games announced for early '08 releases on all the consoles as we get into Oct/Nov timeframe.
