| Munkeh said: You really can't say that the 360 has the better holiday line-up than the PS3; MGS 4, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Warhawk, Heavenly Sword, Killzone 2 and maybe the FF XIII and of course Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction. These are games that will appeal to everyone, or at least one of them will. |
MGS4 is huge, everyone knows that. Heavenly Sword should do well. Killzone? C'mon, the first game was mediocre at best. Ratchet & Clank games have never sold well. FF XIII is not coming out this year, let's just ignore that one. Warhawk is multi-player only. That always limits a game's appeal. Uncharted is a huge question mark but I'm not ruling out that it will be a great game.
Compare that to the 360 lineup:
Halo 3 is huge, we all know that. Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, both from the creator of the FF series. They'll both be huge. Bioshock is coming from the guys who did System Shock. Mass Effect is from the guys who did the original KOTOR and Jade Empire. Forza is almost out. Eternal Sonata should be a good seller, if not great.
Every one of those games, except Eternal Sonata, are from developers whose last game received 9.0 scores or higher on average. They're all top-shelf developers with a proven track record in the genre their new game is in.
