| starcraft said: Sony's exclusives this holiday season are looking very slim. |
Uncharted 2, Ratchet, and Demon's Souls is pretty fine. Throw in Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 (Is this really exclusive though? I mean, it is old, but it has a new co-op mode and online...), and it's a fine line-up, no worse than last years which was only Resistance 2, Socom, Motorstorm: PR and LBP. And there are reports of a Dec release of GT5... but even if it's not true, I'm sure the four games I listed are fine. I mean, Microsoft has Halo: ODST, Splinter Cell: Conviction and Forza 3, and Nintendo has Wii Fit Plus (right?) and NSMB Wii iirc.
Sales wise, obviously Wii fit and NSMB wii will win, but I think both Microsoft and Sony have really good lineups for the Christmas season, and it's not really a point to have a whole lot extra going on in this season with all the action Activision is pumping into line-ups. Guitar Hero, DJ hero, Tony Hawk(lol) and Modern Warfare 2 are all $100+ games, all commanding those coveted holiday dollars that are less and less given the reception... Sony pushing titles to next year like MAG and Heavy Rain is smart cause they'd get slaughtered compared to what Ass creed and MW2 are going to do this Christmas. They would end up like Motorstorm: PR and SOCOM. Better to release them when they're not competing for a set number of dollars.
