Forums - Gaming - 360's 2008 lineup better than PS3's?

I'd say the 360 has a somewhat stronger line-up than the PS3, since all the good titles on PS3 have been delayed until 2009. Of course, we should wait a few months before we judge how good the line-ups are. There can always be surprise announcements.




Around the Network

which line-up do I prefer ?

==> PS3 for MGS4

which line-up is the best ?

==> depend on your taste

which line-up will sell more system :

==> PS3 one because the Xbox360 one is too hardcore
EVEN IF there are the GTA4 addons that could help a lot if they are worth the value and if MS make some interesting offer



Time to Work !

It comes down to preference and tastes, IMO the PS3 08 lineup is the best on paper. But that's not to say the 360 is "dead" or doesn't have any games.

Also... the OP fails to mention many PS3 exclusive games this year.



Games that definitely coming in 2008:

on x360:
Lost Odyssey
Ninja Gaiden 2
Too Human
Tales of Vesperia
Fable 2
Gears of War 2
Banjo Kazooie
Viva Pinata: Trouble In Paradise
Halo wars
Infinite Undiscovery
House of the Dead 4

on PS3:
Haze
Metal Gear Solid 4
LittleBigPlanet
Ressistance 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Tekken 6
Siren remake
Naruto PS3
Valkyrie Chronicles
Disgaea 3
Hot Shot Golf 5
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue
Socom PSN

White Knight Story (eng?)
Yakuza 3 (eng?)
Infamous
Heavy Rain

I would say not better, just on pair, maybe PS3 line is a little better.
Since Killzone 2 and probably Final fantasy 13 are not coming in 2008, it`s not total domination, yet.



Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...

2009.04.30 - PS3 will OUTSELL x360 atleast by the middle of 2010. Japan+Europe > NA.


Gran Turismo 3 - 1,06 mln. in 3 weeks with around 4 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Gran Turismo 4 - 1,16 mln. with 18 mln. PS2 on the launch.

Final Fantasy X - around 2 mln. with 5 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Final Fantasy X-2 - 2.4 mln. with 12 mln. PS2 on the launch.

 

1.8 mln. PS3 today(2008.01.17) in Japan. Now(2009.04.30) 3.16 mln. PS3 were sold in Japan.
PS3 will reach 4 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 25k.

PS3 may reach 5 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 50k.
PS2 2001 vs PS3 2008 sales numbers =) + New games released in Japan by 2009 that passed 100k so far

For exclusive games I'm buying on each platform -

X360:
Lost Odyssey
Ninja Gaiden 2
Tales of Vesperia
Infinite Undiscovery
Banjo (Maybe)

PS3:
MGS4
Little Big Planet
Disgaea 3
Valkyria Chronicles
Resistance 2


Put's it about even for me.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

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?

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

Tekken 6 will be big, but lets not pretend the franchise has the quality or sales luster it used too. Disgaea and Valkyria chronicles wont hold a candle to Infinite Undiscovery, Tales of Vesperia and Lost Odyssey.


I have to ask; have you played Disgaea before? Now, I haven't played LO yet, but I know Disgaea holds up to most RPGs of last gen, so I think it's suffice to assume it will with this installment as well. I would also throw WKC into the mix as well, to make it a fair argument. Both consoles are looking to have a promising half of a year in terms of RPGs

 @finalevan - That's about the same list I'd have for both as well. I'd say it's about even unless WKC comes out this year. I very much have a crush on level 5.

2008 was claimed to be the year of the PS3, but with the recent announcement of Killzone 2 being pushed to 2009, it finally seems like the 360 will be able to compete with Fable 2, Gears of War 2, Banjo 3, Halo Wars, GTA 4 expansion etc. 

The majority of the big Sony exclusives have been pushed back to 2009, or were never going to be released this year. If I'm not missing anything, the PS3 has three big exclusives this year in Resistance 2, Metal Gear Solid 4 and Littlebigplanet.

Whilst these games are undoubtedly going to be great, I can't help but feel the PS3 has dissappointed this year especially with Home now being an uncertainty. 


you seem to have missed out many other exclusive ps3 titles this year, but more to the point you have listed banjo 3 in your xbox-compete list, take a look at the banjo 3 videos, instead of making an action packed platformer rare have dumped in a lego(esque) vehicle building 80%-of-driving-game - i think il pass on that

360 still has some good titles this year, i fear for 360 in late 2009 but only time will tell



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

really miss the VGCHARTZ of 2008 - 2013...

I think the lineups from Nin, Sony and MS all look "weak" at the moment... we need to wait a couple of months (e3 or after e3)

Nintendo = We don't know what they will do (perhaps kid icarus, animal crossing, pikmin... but we don't know for certain)

Sony = LBP is a new IP. Resistance 1 was not exactly huge. And most of the other anounced games are new IPs too.

MS = Fable & Banjo are big question marks... same with halo wars. Only Gears of Wars 2 is a given

YOU WHAT!

How dare you! When it hits 3 million worldwide (and it will i tell you!) you'll be saying that on the other side of your face!



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

PS3 has a better overall list of games for 2008 combined including MGS 4, Little Big Planet, Tekken 6, Haze, Socom:Confrontation, Resistance 2, Gran Turismo 5: Prologue and GTA IV (360 also has GTA IV). But Gears of War 2 is the best HD exclusive game that will sell the most copies this year. MGS 4 will sell 5 million copies. But Gears of War 2 will sell over 7 million copies alone.
 Versus: Lost Odyssey, Ninja Gaiden 2, Fable 2, Too Human, Gears of War 2, Banjo Kazooie 3, Viva Pinata 2, Infinate Undiscovery, Tales of Vesperia and Halo Wars. Fail to see how PS3 has the best list.
