- Exclusive games. Last time Xbox only had Halo and Fable while PS2 had tons of them. Again, it's the other way around: you all know X360 got GTA 4 & DMC4, and how the FFXIII-exclusivity is being watered down by Square making the whole FF-franchise so widespread that it practically don't matter very much if the core game FFXIII will only be on PS3 (smart move by Square btw). What's left? MGS4.. perhaps (I doubt it). Then look at X360, what it will have in the coming ½-1 year, which will be a very critical time (I picked a few examples here): X360 only: On X360 & PC: Age of Conan - All the bad press the PS3 has got is a huge thing. People don't associate the PS3 with the "hip" Playstation brand, they think of an expensive good quality console that Sony made into a disaster. People know the machine has potential, it's just that no one wants to buy it today. People don't want to take that risk, and as the experts say, a $100 price cut won't make a difference, while a $200 price cut by Sony is unlikely. - MS will hit the PS3 with a near-lethal blow pretty soon. The talks from MS-officials about a "sweet spot at $199" is no accident. A X360 price drop will come soon, and my personal prediction is that it will happen just when we're about to go into the fall season august/sept, when the X360 can get a huge momentum all the way through the holidays with the flood of big titles coming out for X360. I believe MS will boost that with a cut of the Premium to $299. It's logical and very smart. PS3 don't have any big exclusives this fall, so whats their incentive to cut price? Can they counter with anything? Yeah, perhaps something that will look like a desperation-cut. - Of course you all know of the Wii-factor, how it changed everything this gen, so Im not going to argue about the greatness of Wii, nunchucks & casual games, Wiimotes & bowling games etc - everyone is very aware of it.

Sound the alarm, its the doom and gloom. FF13 does not matter sure bud how about you step back in to the real world ok. Yet if they said FF13 to 360 you be saying its over PS3 is doomed. Its like with MGS4 ohh its sucks is nothing it wont help the PS3, MGS to 360 rumor ohh Ps3 is dommed they lost the best most important exclusive Ps3 cant win with out it balhh blahh.
What Sony has
FolksoulLair
Heavenly Sword
Warhawk
Singstar
Hot Shots Golf
Eye of Judgement/PSeye/Home
Little Big Planet
Rachat and Clank
Socom
Uncharted
Also rumored for 07 are Killzone, MGS4, and something Gran Turismo.
Why is 200 unlikely, the success of their games divison and Blu-ray depands on it. Core is not a big seller, it gets a small minority of all 360 sales.
"PS3 don't have any big exclusives this fall" thats some priceless Fud.
