Killzone 2, God of War III, Grand Turismo and Final Fantasy XIII are all going to be just as good (and most likely better) than Portal.
There I said it.
And in case you were wondering, I'm not talking about being more innovative. But those game will be more enjoyable, will have much better graphics and will last more then an hour and a half.

You don't even own Portal, what are you even trying to do here? Part of Portal's appeal is the fact that it does in the space of four hours what most games can't do in fifteen, or twenty. Portal is still probably the best PC game of the generation, also happens to be one of the best games on consoles for this generation, and it's going to take a lot more than a (very good, I'm sure) polished shooter in order to dehtrone it. Portal's excellent in a way that the games you listed can't compare to. It's sublime.

well if I remember correctly
he told people to abandon the PS3, said it was going fail & told SONY to discontinue it and start over
frankly he couldn't have been more wrong in each department
so yeah he never rectified his mistake n said he was terrible at predicting the consol'es future

He didn't tell people to abandon the PS3 to the best of my knowledge, though if he said to people that the PS3 was going to be part of the reason that some companies end up losing money and going under, he apparently wasn't that far off the mark.
Newell has always been for PC development over console development. The Wii is the first console that he isn't venomous toward. That doesn't make him in Microsoft's pocket, it means that he knows how to work the PC industry and is one of the only developers who can still make money even during economic times like this one.
I repeat: he's not a hater.
@Phrancheyez:
Ok, so that's one game. Also, I never played Portal, so I can't tell you one way or the other. However, you said their past few games, which is what I was referring to as ignorant. The only reason you're saying that is because you want it to do bad, not because of your knowledge of the game. It seems to me that you're saying this just because you don't like the PS3. Now I may be wrong, but regardless, your statement about it being half as good is extremely ignorant, even if you're only referring to Portal.
Right off the bat: the "half as good" phrase was stepping over the lin and I apologize. I assumed that the fact that it was hyperbolic would come across clearly.
That said?
No, I do not expect Killzone 2 to be anywhere as good as Portal. I expect it to outsell it, I expect it to make a lot of money for GG, and I expect it to be very highly rated. I do not expect it to be as good.
I don't dislike Sony, that is a ridiculous statement and you have made yoruself look ridiculous for saying it. Sony's umbrella houses some of my favorit developers and the only reason I don't own a PS3 is because I can't afford it right now. There is a fine line between saying that Valve's projects are someo f the best in the industry and I don't expect Killzone to be as good as anythign Valve has made since 2004 (as in everything in the Orange Box + Left 4 Dead) and saying that I dislike Sony. Do not confuse the two.
@exindguy:
I didn't care for Portal, so I'd be pretty crushed if a game came out this year that didn't best it.
No matter how beautiful, how sublime, a product is, there is always goign to be someone who doesn't like it. That there is someone who doesn't like Portal doesn't surprise me.
