You people HATE THE PLAYSTATION 3. Well what do you expect? Sony destroyed nintendo twice in a row, you dont want them to have a chance in doing it agan.

Don't blame me. I predict the PS3 is selling more than X360 next year. Also look at my crazy prediction for DMC.

The Devil may Cry 4 deal, may not be that crazy at all, and I mean this as at the moment without making preference over the one or the other console.  My reasoning just tells me that DMC4 will have bigger sales on the PS3 than the 360...

...however sales of GTA4 will have the advantage on the 360. I see it like this:

US: 65% 360 35% PS3

EU: 55% 360 45% PS3

HOWEVER... you may judge this either way you want, but I believe that if Sony & Rockstar reveal their contract PS3 exclusive game it may influence some people's decision on wether to buy the 360 version of GTAIV, the game MAY render exclusive content "not worth" it compared to the other game.

Also, As BengaBenga states above I would say that MGS4 will be the lowest selling MGS of the series so far. ALTHOUGH important factors to more succesfull sales figures will depend much on the review scores & advertisement from Konami & Sony. I will say the sum will be lying between 3~5 million LTD. MGS4 has a chance to repeat the succes of the original PSX MGS. lets hope it does.

Also next year I see the PS3 gaining in on 360's position ultimately taking over in Europe, still 2nd behind the Wiii though. However It will be limping behind in the states by a larger margin.

Killzone 2 is Guerrilla's last chance to redeem themselves. Therefore I believe they are working on making this their masterpiece. Killzone 2 will have a positive reception.

Wii will rule when Monster Hunter 3 gets released in Japan, not sure it comes out next year. But when it does... WII NUKE JAPAN!

Also, I believe Home & trophies will steal away some of the gamers from the 360 crowd. In 2008 more 360 owners will own a PS3 aswell.
