(well, I m focusing on the PS3/360 war since I dont know Ninty that much but feel free to add it on your comment)
we know that early this year a LOT of potentially AAA games will be released. It is true for the PS3 and it is true for the 360. A lot of those games will be exclusives for PS3 or 360. Indeed, the PS3, because it has the GT5, has a definitive advantage over the 360 (GT is indeed hardcore and mainstream at the same time, it is a strong brand etc ...)
BUT, if we look at the end of the 2010 then the situation is clearly differents :
360 has
- pricing advantage : they will be in position to slash the price again, not so true for Sony
- Natal that has a lot of potential and that has already been tagged "like a new console launch"
- Fable3 that is recognized IP, with good sales, very good rating
- HALO REACH that will be a mega hit without any doubt (brand + marketing + quality)
BONUS Gears of War3 : we know it is coming but we dont know when ...
PS3 has
- motion control: it has NO NAME (so it is not really born, so you can't hype something that doesn't really exist), it is quite similar to the Wiimote, and it is more a big interrogative point than anything else
- ???????????
Indeed, I have just no clue about what Sony is gonna do to counterbalance Halo REACH or Fable3
so what do you think ?
Resistance 3 (...) ?
Motorstorm 3 (...) ?
Killzone3 (so quickly after the 2nd ?)
New IP ?
Last guardian (amazing but not enought mainstream)
something else ?
Time to Work !
