NO! Firstly, Alan Wake, Halo Wars and maybe Splinter Cell have been pushed back into 2009. That's a pretty big blow to the 360's lineup.
Secondly, the PS3 has a lot of heavy-hitters- if 1 or 2 of them get pushed into next year, that doesn't necessarily stop 2008 from being the PS3's year. How can you expect all of it's big games to arrive in 1 year?

Also, you missed out Tekken 6, SOCOM: Confrontation and Motorstorm 2 along with lower-tier games such as Wipeout HD, Haze, Siren, Linger in Shadows, Disgaea 3 and Valkyria Chronicles. 8 Days and WKC could still arrive this year.

Anyway, we should wait until E3 is over before we start talking about this.

WHOA!!!! When did Halo Wars get pushed back?

1) You just included things like PSN games, online-only games and sequels to mediocre launch titles in your so-called heavy-hitter line-up.  

2) Tekken 6 will be big, but lets not pretend the franchise has the quality or sales luster it used too. 

3) Disgaea and Valkyria chronicles wont hold a candle to Infinite Undiscovery, Tales of Vesperia and Lost Odyssey. 

 


1) Yeah I wouldn't have included the PSN games. If you mean SOCOM as online only, it has a massive online following (as big as Halo). Motorstorm is not mediocre. It has a 80% score on gamerankings, putting it above Lost Odyssey. It is actually a fantastic game which suffers from lack of vehicles, load times and no split screen. 

2) Tekken 3 is considered the best fighting game of all time. It is unfair to hold other Tekken's to that standard of quality, because it is pretty much unachievable. Even so, every Tekken is a quality game, and Tekken 5 sold 1.5M. Plus Tekken: DR is one of the best selling PSN games, even at a high price tag of £14.99. 

3)  Disgaea 3 has a gamerankings score of 85%, putting it well above Lost Odyssey. Going by previous Disgaea scores, Disgaea 3 will likely stay at around 85%. You obviously haven't watched any VC trailers or walkthroughs (go to the official VC thread in the Sony forum), because if you had, you would realise it is one of the best SJRPG's in years. I haven't seen enough of IU or ToV, so its to early to call.
