@naznatips: new games are being announced for all 3 consoles all the time. Most of the high profile games are going to the PS3 and/or 360.

As for that PSP vs DS argument that we already had...it's basically Crisis Core and Dissidia (newly announced btw) vs DQ9, FF12RW, and FFTA2. Those are the big releases. I'll enjoy the FFT remake on the PSP and I'm sure people will enjoy some of the other DS games, but let's wait and see how those games end up before we start saying Square is abandonning PSP and PS3.

I will stake my slightly fewer years of gaming against yours and say that the PS3 and 360 will not have any kind of drought of games in 2009. The lineup for both, and especially the PS3 (imo), are going to boost sales the 2nd half of the year.

Oh yeah, and this thread is about Soul Calibur IV being announced for the PS3 and 360. But I guess you somehow know they started that game years ago or something.


The statement that "most of the high profile games are going to the PS3 and/or 360" isn't really fair. Once again, I think you're lumping PS3/360 together to make the PS3 look good, when it's the 360 that's doing most of the heavy lifting here.

If you look here, over the last two months, the Xbox360 has had 7 new exclusive games announced by third party developers: the Playstation 3 has one, developed by "Ignition games," hardly a flagship software developer.

Otherwise, I largely agree with your analysis. I do think you mistake your personal opinions about game quality with those of the general public (you even admit you speak only for your own opinion), but otherwise I think your statements are spot on.


Well, we'll see how many of those 360 games work out.  I think Sony's 1st party more than equals the new arrivals on the 360's list.  Also, my comparison being between the PS3 and 360 versus the Wii, the PS3 and 360 get most of the new big games announced by third parties, again, imo.  I'd rather have SC4 than SC Legends, for instance.

I don't think out of those 7 games that many will be good, so it's not very fair to criticize Ignition.

When the threads were going that listed the 20 games (or so) that you have to have this year for each system (exclusives), I think the PS3 more than held it's own.  Obviously, I am biased, but I thought the PS3's list was the best, and PSP's list is very good this year.  So that's why I said especially the PS3's lineup.  Now, obviously, Halo 3 is going to be a big seller and I'd like to play Mass Effect and maybe Bioshock and Too Human (if that comes out this year).  But I think the PS3 has a lot to counter that. 

But yeah, I just think all of these developers that are launching their big games on 360 and/or PS3 can't be wrong.  I'd be very surprised if Wii spinoffs sold better.
