On the plus side if my prediction is correct and in 2008/09 Wii is on par with 360 in terms of dollars invested Wii owners will have around twice as many quality titles to choose from, not to mention more great 1st and 2nd party software as nobody can touch N in that department. Unfortunately for PS3 I think it will be way behind both it's competitors in all software categories as 3rd parties continue to distance themselves from the system and looking at Sony published titles so far as an indication, 1st and 2nd party games will also fall short of it's rival's offerings.

Your prediction is not even close.  Actually why are you predicting when you can basically go to IGN or Gamespot and see what's coming out next year?  I'm sure there will be a few surprises but do you really think that Wii developers are going to pull 20 or 30 huge projects out of nowhere to release next year?  Doubtful considering they would have been announced at TGS (I'm not saying there will be no surprises but people need to be realistic).

Well if you read more carefully you'll notice I stated 2008/09 allowing myself a comfortable 2-year period for my prediction to pan out. Also since a Wii title has a shorter dev cycle it is only natural that it will be announced closer to it's release than that of a 360/PS3 equivalent. Look at Nintendo, as far as I know they've announced Wii Fit, DDoC and MarioKart for '08', are you seriously suggesting there won't be a multitude of other 1st and 2nd party releases in '08'?

We have around 15 months til the end of '08', I personally think that leaves plenty of time for announcements of titles releasing before then. How long before their intended release dates were titles benefitting from significant investment such as Zack & Wiki, Red Steel, Wii Fit, MarioKart, REUC, GH3, Fire Emblem, BW2, No More Heroes, NiGHTS, We Love Golf, etc.,etc. announced?? In fact I'd say the titles announced more than 15 months before release are in the minority, completely disproving your argument.

What was your point again?
