Xbox 360 will catch up with sales on the PS3.

Doub it, Sony has a really good lineup this year just as they did last year, it seems people are starting to get the message!

Unlike last year, Microsoft has a pretty great (console) exclusive lineup this year too though.  Natal, Halo Reach, Crackdown 2, Fable III, Alan Wake, Mass Effect 2, Monster Hunter Frontier, Kingdom Under Fire II, Ninety-Nine Nights II and (probably) Gears of War 3.   Plus it's netting choice exclusive content for a lot of multiplatform titles (Lost Planet 2, Super Street Fighter IV, etc) and still getting "superior versions" in a lot of cases (like Bayonetta recently).

Not sure I want to get into an exclusives showdown, they often lead the thread into decent, however I must disagree, there isn't much that will beat the PS3's line-up for 2010.

Last year Uncharted 2 blew pretty much any single 360 exclusive out of the water in respect to graphics and story telling, I feel that what with the PS3 still not fully tapped and the 360 pretty much reaching it's optimum potential, we can only see Sony's advantage in graphics grow and as we all know, todays fickle gamer is all about graphics!

But I will wait until (is it E3 next?) Just to see if there are any surprises in regard to Natal/Arc games.

I'm not going to argue subjectives like quality, I'm arguing sales.  Last year what's essentially a Halo 3 mission pack nearly outsold all Sony's vaunted 1st party "killer apps" combined.
