Gears 2 may be the biggest game next holiday season, but the 360 will be third place in hardware sales during that time. The PS3 has a more varied lineup of games, and the Wii sells itself. |
I keep hearing this but when I actually ask for games, people seem to shut up quickly... This is what I can think of off the top of my head: 360:
Halo Wars
Fable 2
Left4Dead (shared with PC)
Banjo 3
Gears of War 2
PS3:
Resistance 2
Killzone 2
SOCOM
Motorstorm
LittleBigPlanet
Am I insane for thinking that the 360's lineup is more diverse? What is so diverse about 3 shooters, one racing game, and a complete wildcard that could go either way? |
I think a lot of people's attitueds towards the PS3 having a better/diverse lineup is because of all the games we have heard about that have anticipated 2008 dates. Games such as White Knight Chronicals, Tekken, InFamous, Heavy Rain, 8 Days, Wardevil, Afrika, The Agency, etc. all still have TBA 2008 release dates and every one of those titles seems to have some type of chance of being a great new IP. If those titles come out too then the PS3 no doubt as the more diverse lineup for 08. On top of the fact you have Haze, MGS IV, GT5:P ( I know 360 has NG2, but that won't be as big as GT5:P or MGS IV IMO) launching a few months before the above titles coming out. Then you have the titles you named, then you have projects that nobody knows about such as the Team ICO project and the NCsoft MMO, then you have a bunch of major titles hitting in 2009 such as God of War 3, GT5, FFXIII, and probably sequels to Hevenly Sword, Uncharted, etc. and all the sudden the PS3 has this image of having this terrific, diverse lineup. |
The 360 still has a few lingering TBA 2008s, too. Alan Wake is one of them. My point is that everyone talks about this diversity but most of the games are either TBA or 2009 at this point.
Since we're talking about holiday 2008, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to keep talking about these mystery games. It also doesn't make sense to add in MGS4 or Haze when we would then have to toss in Too Human and NG2. In fact, we shouldn't really be talking about this at all until E3 in July. Then we'll have a more concrete idea of what is really releasing and what might be vaporware.
