I think Sony fans are putting too much weight on these titles. They will be big, important titles for the PS3 but none of these scream 'saviour' to me. Specifically:
Killzone 2: I feel this game is WAY overhyped, like the original. I fear they have now obligated themselves to spend so much time on the graphics that gamepaly will only be average, much like the original. This will sell well, but nothing that will create momentum.
FFXIII: The FF series peaked at VII. This will sell very well, especially in Japan and this, White Knight and MGS4 may give the PS3 much needed life in Japan, and to a lesser extent Europe, but won't be able to overcome the momentum of the 360 in America.
MGS4: What's the most MGS has ever sold? Really? Again this will be strong, but to think it can make the difference is just kidding yourself.
Now GTA exclusive, that'd have been huge. But with the extra downloadable content the 360 version will appear superior.
End of the day, I think these games will help the PS3 get a larger lead in Japan and Europe over the 360, but they'll never take back NA this generation. PS3 may pass the 360 but it'll be near the end of this cycle, much like how the Xbox overtook the GC.
