Is it just me or does Microsoft's line up look really weak? Besides Gears 2, those are all average at best. Haha. And Gears has to be better than Resistance 2 to even matter, which I really doubt.

But of course some people will believe them and say "WOW THATS AN AWESOME LINEUP!"

Who the hell buys a $200+ console for Fable or Banjo?

And we already saw how Too Human is fairing...Microsoft is knee high in crappy lineup right now.

How many games do you buy a year?  These are just some of the games coming out this year for the system and there are likely surprises at E3 (Rare, Lionhead, Mistwalker, Obsidian, Bioware, EA, and Bungie for example are all working on unannounced games for the 360).

Exclusives

Gears of War 2
Fable 2
Banjo Kazooie 3
Halo Wars
Ninja Gaiden 2
Too Human
Tales of Vesperia

Dead or Alive 5
Halo: Chronicles
(and more...)

Then there are the console exclusives:

Left 4 Dead
APB

Plus a lot of interesting Xbox Live Arcade and Community games.


Like I said...is it me or does Xbox's lineup look really poor. Other than Gears, none can compete with GT5, RFOM2, MGS4, Tekken 6, LBP,and maybe Killzone.

Seriously, just because you hype the game doesn't mean its a masterpiece. We can all name all the games coming to the console, but hell none of them really matter. 

Just ask yourself this, of those games which EXCLUSIVES could possibly have a midnight release?

Gears

GTA(whoops sorry not an exclusive, but Xbox fans will claim it is because of Episodes arriving 4 months later that no one is going to care about.)

Fable 2(maybe)

On the PS3, GT5 will, MGS4 will, RFOM2 will, Killzone 2 MIGHT(depending on how it develops), and LBP will.


Well a lot of people are getting tired of shooters so tell me again why people should get excited for Killzone 2, a sequel to a game that got 74.3% on Gamerankings?  Resistance 2 looks good but there seems to be a lot of FPSs coming out this year so it's hard to get excited for it when it's one of many such games being released.

Tekken 6?  With Soulcalibur 4 and Street Fighter 4 coming out why should people get excited for yet another fighter?

LBP?  Have you seen gameplay videos for it?  It may look beautiful but they need to seriously work on the gameplay.

What is there in the PS3 lineup to compare with Fable 2?  What about action like Ninja Gaiden 2?  What action/rpg hybrid does the PS3 have coming out that compares to Too Human?  What strategy game is coming for PS3 that is built from the ground up like Halo Wars?


 i believe there is a term for that paraggraph.... hmm what is that again.....? ahh yes!
