For consoles, yes, the PS3 practically has 2009 in the bag already, as far as exclusives go, IMO. The press from MS and Nintendo stating that they "have some stuff" is just talk, while they scramble to match the PS3's 2009 lineup, glad that they have solid userbases to fall back upon. They either throw us something we can sink our teeth into, or they've got nothin, as far as I'm concerned. Even the Wii is ahead of the 360 (perhaps only because I like good JRPGs), IMO, and that's saying something.
Unless Halo spinoff #1 ("Wars") (RTS lol -- they suck on consoles, and are totally niche, to console gamers, even if they do succeed critically) and spinoff #2 ("Recon") are stellar, MS is going to really need to get working on their exclusive lineup, and fast.
However, I think the PC will be downright phenominal this year. If you throw the PC into the mix, it would likely win, in my book.
