I'm loath to get into a PS3 exclusive argument in this thread, but you must realize that the whole "Sony domination in 2008" argument was based largely on the understanding that GT and FF would make it into this year, something that is now highly unlikely to happen.

Indeed, whilst MGS4 will no doubt be an excellent system-seller, at the end of the year, Microsoft will actually have more big name sequels in Fable 2 and Banjo Kazooie than Sony will. Not to mention Ninja Gaiden 2 and Gears of War 2. Sony has Resistence 2 (which will probably be excellent, but its fanbase already owns the PS3, because thats where the first game was) and Killzone 2, which frankly is the sequel to a bad game, and has shown no indication of being great at anything other than games.

No offense but I don't think you are giving the PS3 enough credit as far as games go. For instance...

- Resistance 2

- Grand Turismo 5

- Little Big Planet

- Haze

- Metal Gear Solid 4

- Killzone 2

- Afrika

- Final Fantasy XIII

- Eight Days

- God of War 3

- Tekken 6

- The GetaWay

- White Knight Story

- Final Fantasy Versus XIII

- Home

- inFAMOUS

- Motorstorm 2

I know throwing lists lists around gets annoying but I would say that these are all potential AAA titles. Just trying to prove a point. I do agree with the fact that the original Killzone was very mediocre, but that was mainly because it pushed the hardware too much. I'll admit I'm a little worried that Gorilla games hasn't shown KZ2 for a while, but I still feel fairly confident the game will turn out well due to the fact the the PS3 is strong enough to handle just about anything. But honestly, you've seen the game. As far as graphics are concerned you can't really deny it's amazing. Can you?

You get that we were talking about 2008 right? With a focus on proven IP???

You lost me when you called Saint's Row an excellent exclusive, and the same thing with Crackdown, though it is miles better than Saints Row.

But other than that, 360 has a great line-up of games. As does the Nintendo Wii, and PlayStation 3.

you hate crackdown? that's a first.

Pick out the 2009 titles and you've still got plenty of great exclusives. Now that I think about it 2009 will be a great year as well. And excuse my incompetence but what does IP stand for.

^^^^ Your list is 2009, or shooter or unproven pretty much. Ill say that for 2008 you have non shooter and proven franchise... Motorstorm Tekken

Tease.

IP stands for Intellectual Property.

Taking only exclusive sequels due out in 2008, that is the true PS3 list.

360 list:

-Fable 2

-Ninja Gaiden 2

-Banjo Kazooie 3

-Gears of War 2

Given the first Killzone was horrible, the first Motorstorm was only decent (by common standards, personally I loathed it) and Tekken is in a drastic decline, which console do you think has the best sequel line-up this year?

What I will grant you is this. The picture would be very different if Sony got GT, FF or GoW3 in this year.

Edit: About Killzone 2. It wasn't graphics that let the first Killzone down, it was lousy gameplay. Quite frankly, nothing we've seen of Killzone 2 looks to be improving on gameplay, and you cant play graphics

I knew someone would make me edit the list so here's everything that's confirmed for 2008. This is so tedious but here it is...

Resistance 2

Little Big Planet

Haze

Metal Gear Solid 4

Killzone 2

Tekken 6

White Knight Story

Home

Motorstorm 2

Still there is a good chance most of these will be AAA games and if you still deny that I don't know what to say. The PS3 will have a good year and only time will tell who the victor of this debate will be.

360 has some great games, but you are sadly mistaken if you think killzone 2 will be bad.

@LongLiveTheBeatles

Woo hoo!! Home!! <-- sarcasm

No one is denying those games won't be good.. but we all know that PS3's strongest Games GT5 and FFXIII won't be here till next year. Without those two games the PS3 lineup isn't as impressive.
