I Think they need more big titles this year. GOW2 and Alan wake arent big enough to go agasint sonys many AAA titles this year. ninja gaiden is gonna be hot but not a system seller. Sony has many system sellers so its gonna be hard for microsoft unless they cut the price in USA.

What real "system sellers" does Sony have this holiday season? In 2008 overall? I see Metal Gear Solid 4 and that's it. To counter it, the 360 has Gears of War 2. I call that pretty even.

Each system has their smaller games like Splinter Cell, Fable 2, LittleBigPlanet, Resistance 2, Killzone, Ninja Gaiden, etc. but those are hardly system sellers.

Look at the lists objectively and they're actually pretty even. Sony doesn't have their big hitters coming until 2009 now... God of War III, GT5, and FFXIII should all release next year.


I have to disagree slightly. I DO agree that the 360 has an about even line-up as PS3, probably even slightly better because they have more exclusives and the multiplatforms are generally better on 360. Especially Splinter Cell, Ninja Gaiden and Fable are big, imo bigger than LBP, Resistance and Killzone especially since FPS is more the 360 territory).

But I don't think Gears of war 2 will be a system seller, because the series started on 360, so all fans of the series have a 360. Same for Resistence 2 btw.

Socom, Haze, Little big planet, Motorstorm 2, Resistance 2, Killzone 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, Gran turismo 5 Pro, Are all HUGE games (i didnt even say all of them) that are heavy hitters that are coming THIS year. You can argue that the xbox lineup is great (which it is ill be getting a lot of games^^) but this year Sony pulls out a better victory.

There are at least THREE system sellers there (socom, MGS4, GT5 pro) and xbox will have 1 so far and that is gears. ninja gaiden never sells super well splinter cell will sell great banjo might be good (rare has sucked since they been with microsoft) mab alan wake but thats unproven.

if you like xbox line up thats great but sony has equal to if not better IMO. 2009 will be even better for sony yes but 2008 is awesome already.
