So you know, people dispute the 'idea' that the PS3 'won' 2008 so I doubt there will be any consensus apart from the self congratulations of fanboys who would stack the deck in their favour mentally in any case.

MGS4
GT5P
LBP

Are the three notable releases on the PS3.

Gears 2
Fable 2
Left 4 Dead

Are the three notable releases on the Xbox 360.

Im not really seeing how a reasonable person would call one significantly better than the other.

 

It doesn't make much sense to list Left4Dead considering that it wasn't even a timed exclusive. Look at the GOTY awards for 2008, LBP and Fallout dominated while MGS4 and GTA4 both did well. It's hardly unreasonable to claim that the PS3 had the superior lineup.

It is unreasonable, because the people who say it has a superior lineup are already biased towards said lineup. Furthermore L4D sold more than Sony's big holiday shooter exclusive (RFOM 2) so whether or not its only partially exclusive its still a bigger game. I prefered the Xbox 360 lineup by a significant margin over the PS3's but it doesn't stop me from looking at both rationally and saying that they were about equal in overall impact.
