Why the 360 will ultimately succumb to the ps3...

I completely disagree..360 has the best lineup now and for the future. Each heavily hyped PS3 game seems to succumb to poor reviews. Lair, HS, does anyone doubt games like uncharted will suffer the same fate? Those games are ~8 material at best imo.

Already the 08 360 lineup is looking strong. NG2, Gears 2, Halo Wars, Alan Wake, Banjoe 3, Marvel MMO, Fable 2, etc etc etc.

Plus not even to mention Blue Dragon (just released) Eternal Sonata, Lost Odyssey, Infinite Undiscovery. Those are four jrpg's while PS3 has zero. Of course this is not even to mention the tons of 3rd party mult-platform games.

Stuff like GT5 is nice but it's not system seller anymore, it's just, a 360 owner will just buy Project Gotham instead. Meanwhile, Sony has no title as monstrous as Halo 3. Just look at the fact MS can have a $130 legendary edition of Halo 3. Sony has no title, not GT not anything, that has that much rabid popularity to get away with a $130 edition, and have hundreds of thousands of it sell.

360 just has an awesome depth of games..both in 2007 and 2008.

I highly doubt that Gears will make it out next year. I even addressed that in the OP.

I forgot about Fable 2, so you got me there.

As for titles like Alan Wake, I tried to avoid posting new IPS in general for both consoles, listing only two for the 360 and three for the ps3. Both have loads of new IPs coming next year, but we can't base much on them. Franchises like Halo and GT we can trust to turn out well. New IPs could turn out like Lair and Blue Dragon.

Edit: s for jrpgs, the ps3 is getting Folklore this year, and FFXIII, White Knight Story, Star Ocean 4, and others next year. Then there's the long-rumored FF7 remake, which I mentioned in the OP.

Did you even read it?!?
