I don't see there being that many unannounced games we don't know about for Sony. By that I mean, we know that ICO have something going on. With Microsoft, we KNOW that Rare, Lionhead and Bungie all have an unannounced game each. But Microsoft has a habit of surprising us with third party exclusives (Gears, Alan Wake, Too Human, Infinite Undiscovery) whereas whenever we seem to find out about Sony exclusives it's from their (still rather formidable) first party arrangement. |
...years in advance. How long ago were AW, TH, and ID announced? Gears 2 was the only real "surprise", but any idiot knew it was coming.
Siren: New Translation, however, was a surprise. Valkyria Chronicles announced last September with a release date of this month for Japan was a surprise as well.
Not to say that MS doesn't have it's own share of surprises, but those were really bad examples. 
And that "rather formidable" first party publishes more console titles than Nintendo on average year for year (though handhelds are a different matter). As such, don't be surprised to see more games announced for '08 throughout the year, like Siren. Not to say that it will happen, of course.
