christmas can make up a 1 million difference in a blink.
also depends which console stops selling first, and wont 'be the ps3.


right. But in both directions.

 

And why are you so sure, the Xbox360 stops selling soon (or sooner than PS3)? Natal is the perfect example, that MS has some nice plans for this console.

because microsoft doens't have the first party to support the console, it's know just to drop thinks off.

like windows live games, events and the original xbox.

the moment the next xbox is announced and its backward compatible, they will drop support.


If there wasn't enough first party support, how would have MS survived anyway? Not only that they survived, they were outperforming the PS3.

They have some great exclusives (1st, 2nd or 3rd party - customers do NOT care) for 2009 and 2010 already. Rare and Lionhead have been completly silent for quite some time now, they are definatly working on something. And MS created a team for the Halo franchise (343 industries) that has been busy for a while. Plus Tokio Vikings (new team around Tomonobu Itagaki - DoA / Ninja Gaiden) and Mistwalker... so there won't be a shortage of games in the next years.

I can't believe people are bringing this up again. 5 months ago, there were 3 threads a day about the lack of games for MS this Xmas. Now they showed that there is a very good line up for 2009 (Halo ODST / Forza 3 / Left 4 Dead 2 / Modern Warfare 2) and even 2010 (Crackdown2 / Alan Wake / Splinter Cell / FF XIII /etc) and now I have to hear, MS will stop support the Xbox360, because of not enough first party support. BS.

And even IF this would be true (As we all know it is not!) What would starting a new generation do? Would the 1st party get bigger? No. So if MS did what you think, it wouldn't change the problem you made up.

Damn, now I wasted so much text, just to show you, that you got no point at all.

modern warfare 2 is not first party, neither is FF13. they are also multiplatform.

left 4 dead its third party, and available on PC.

and crackdown 2 and alan wake are not going to be huge sellers , halo ODST it a expansion to halo 3.

and thats this year, when new gen comes, microsoft will move it third party timed exclusives to their new console.

sony had this year, killzone 2, infamous, uncharted 2,R&C crack in time ,mag, GT5 by the end of year,heavy rain, then in march God of war 3, and later that year

team ico "last guardian".

all first/second party.
