Ha this thread is +1 for starcraft. He loves getting people on edge and arguing over 360. This thread was created exactly for that purpose. -2 for everyone falling for it,posting here and arguing between 360 and ps3. Muaaaa!

Thanks for the +1, but this thread really was designed to inform.

Oh well, at least a few people seem to have got something out of it. 

You can't say by any means the first Killzone was HORRIBLE. It was no master piece but a 7.5 from IGN and an average of 7.2 on game-rankings is somewhat respectable. The main thing that hindered the game was its AI and I think the PS2's power is to blame. Now that the PS3 is here it would only be logical to assume the game would improve in that regard. 

Once again with Motorstorm an average of 8.5 is very good. If you hated it that's your opinion but to most it's something that will strengthen the software line-up. What makes you think Tekken is in decline is beyond me. The Last one achieved AAA status and a 9.3 from IGN. If it's just your opinion again that's all good.

I personally like the PS3's list anyway you look at it better mainly because it has titles I like. What I don't understand why we are now strictly comparing sequels. Is it because we don't have a good enough idea as to how well the new franchises will turn out? 

You and I have seen previews for many of these games and we can tell roughly how they will end up being therefore I think it's more reasonable to include all games that have been recognized as potential AAA games. If you were to look at all of the games I think the PS3 would have an edge just the way the xbox had a great year last year. You don't have to agree mainly because it all depends on taste. To each his own and that will be that.

Bad devs don't suddenly become good because of an increase in power.  If anything it is the opposite as there is more variables to control.  Look at Factor 5 with Lair.

As for Tekken, I'm not talking about quality, I'm talking about sales.  I apologize for that, often AAA/system seller discussion gets blurred lol.

The reason we are talking about only sequels is because that is where the discussion began.  If you want to talk about new IP only, then Microsoft can easily match Sony with games like Too Human and Alan Wake, Infinite Undiscovery, Lost Odyssey etc.

In addition, Sony has already shown their 2008 line-up for the most part during last year, because they were trying to sell their console on their future.  MS on the other hand probably have a fair bit to reveal, and they have already stated they will reveal stuff at E3.

Simply put, all last year people were claiming the PS3's 2008 library would blow the Wii and 360 away, but now we are here, it is looking like it is much of a muchness between the three consoles. 

Damn you guys ripped the crap out of my list .  It just annoys me when people try to say the PS3 has nothing for 2008. Not that you were but I always have to argue my case as oppose to people going " I think both consoles are going to have a great year of exclusives but personally I prefer the *Insert Console Name Here*. I believe Home has a ton of potential and can compete right next to Xbox live as far as features go. The real question is how well the developer will execute their concept.

You bring up a good point but they have spent so much time and money that to blow the AI off would boggle the mind. They are a relatively inexperienced developer but they did show improvement from Killzone to Killzone Liberation so I'm hoping that they improve from Liberation to KZ2. I'm trying to be optimistic because this game has some crazy potential.

The fan noise kills 360 as a media server. I have a zephyr Elite though, so I can't compare with the Falcon.

MGS4 is not an FPS. Afrika? Little Big Planet? GT5 Prologue (fuller than some full games)? WKS and FF13... might make it out (slim chance). Tekken?

I will concede the addition of the 360's 2008 lineup being less shooter-centric than 2007 though. (I don't think it's possible to be more shooter-centric than 2007.)

But thats just it.  The most recent rumours have Killzone 2 costing $60 MILLION!!!!  Does that sound like a solid investment to you? Or does it sound like something went horribly wrong and they are trying to fix it?  You've got Insomniac putting out game after game all at a reasonably high quality, but Guerilla is simply eating cash and is at what, four years dev time?  Add to this a series of rumours of K2 being mediocre, a relative media silence on the game recently and the first game's legacy?

The PS3 has a great line-up for 2008.  Whats changed is that six months ago everyone thought the PS3's line-up would crap on the 360's, but now you cannot reasonably say either line-up crushes the other.

What a convincing argument Starcraft. You've made me want one now.
