Ehm, please enlighten me about the amazing HD line-up for 2009 I seem to be missing here. Almost everything I'm looking forward to is almost certainly postponed until 2010. Beyond Good & Evil 2, Splinter Cell, Alan Wake, Mass Effect 2, Gran Turismo 5, God of War 3, Final Fantasy 13...all 2010.

So we have this year: Bioshock 2, Uncharted 2 and Modern Warfare 2 (which will probably be on Wii as well)? Wow, that does indeed kick the Wii in the butt... 

 

 

 

 Final Fantasy XIII has been comfirmed for 2009 in Japan and Sony has suggested that God of War III will come out this year. Tales of Graces, which people keep mentioning in there 2009 lists, on the other hand has been comfirmed for early 2010 in Japan.

I prefer the Wii over the 360, since I prefer to play the multi-platform games on the PS3, but when it come's to quality title's it's obvious that the HD consoles have much better games. Some will probably prefer the The fast and the Furious (read: Wii Fit) over the Godfather, but you can't say with a straight face that it is a better movie. 

I would also like add some of those title's to your 2009 list

Bayonetta (fall), Ratchet & Clank 5 (fall), Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 (fall), Tales of Vesperia's (autumn) Director's Cut, Quantum Theory (maybe 2010), End of Eternity (fall), Atelier Rorona (summer), King of Fighters (summer), Blazblue (summer), Bionic Commando (summer)

And let's not forget about Resident Evil 5, Street Fighter IV, Killzone 2, Halo Wars, Yakuza 3, Demon's Soul, Star Ocean, Flower, Sega Mega Drive Collection which are also 2009 title's. The Wii did get Madworld though, which probably would have ended in the braid or flower category if it had been released on the PS3 or 360.

We will probably also see some small things from SCEJ like Siren last year and a mainstream game from rare.

 

 

FFXIII hasn't been confirmed for 2009 at all. With DQ9 realeasing this year it's still a better guess that it won't release before April 1st anywhere.

I was under the impression that this thread was about big sellers, which none of the games on your list are. If you're talking about the quality of the titles and include Japan (which you do by including Vesperia/Yakuza for example) you might want to include Muramasa, Kizuna, Fragile, Arc Rise Fantasia, Monster Hunter 3, Tales of Graces (Winter can still be 2009), Silent Hill, Resident Evil: DSC, Dead Space: Extraction etc.

Indeed with StreetFighter 4, Resident Evil 5 and Killzone 2 released there are some major HD games in 2009, but it doesn't really shatter Wii's line-up (as Montana said) at all.

And no, it's not obvious at all that the HD library is better. It depends on one single thing: taste.
