Well right now neither of their competition (Microsoft and Nintendo) have showed their big guns yet. They are both holding out for a bit. Sony does have a good lineup this year but you also can't compare it to anything because everyone is keeping hush hush on what they really have. The only games we know about for Microsoft are games announced years ago or the newest Halo: ODST announced slightly after E3 2008.

Same thing happened last year.  We knew about every big game from Microsoft last year years in advance, except for Gears 2 and Viva Pinata 2.  Even then, Gears 2 was heavily rumored, kind've like Forza 3 and ME2 now (though ME2 ended up being a 2010 title, something I did not expect).

Fable, Banjo, and Lost Odyssey were all announced in 2006 or earlier.  Same goes for their titles this year, like Alan Wake.

I doubt MS will announce much for this year outside of Forza 3 and a new Rare project.

It's really only Nintendo that holds things close to their chest these days.  Just look at Mario Kart.  Sony and Microsoft announce new a few things pretty close to release (Resistance 2, MotorStorm 2, Gears 2, Viva Pinata 2, and soon Ratchet & Clank Future 2 and probably Forza 3), but not much.  Most of their titles get the God of War III and Halo: ODST treatment.
