I think its a little to early to say that. Sony tends to announce things a year in advance Microsoft has many games that have had little press. Ex. Killer Instinct, Bungies Halo Game etc.

I expect some killer announcements next year.

Yea it's too early to tell for next year. Sont seems like they have the most concrete info on their lineup but they have always been like that. Still I was surprised MS talked a bit more about future titles than usual. Theres still way too many question marks on all fronts but we can safely say no one is slowing down in 2009.

Since I am *really* sick of shooters at this point, and I consider them all a wash (and the market is starting to agree with me, it seems), I would have to boil down your list to:

LBP (1st party excl) + Afrika (1st party excl) + VC (timed excl? not sure)
vs
BK (1st party excl) + Fable2 (2nd party excl -- MS owns Fable name I think) + IU (3rd party timed excl)

I'd say that the PS3 wins by a smidgeon, mostly due to my belief that VC will turn out better than IU, and that LBP is almost guaranteed to be better than BK. I'm really talking LTD attach here, but I believe the quality of the titles goes hand-in-hand.

I actually think there's a lot more to this picture than the 5 games you have listed, and I would definately consider the PS3 on top, all things considered.

Microsoft looks a wee bit better. Sony turned out stronger than I thought. I don't know what I'm going to be doing with my Wii. I need to save the world! I guess I can go back and buy No More Heroes.

The candidates ranked in order from best to worst based on my opinion:

Sony:

1. Resistance 2

2. Little Big Planet

3. Socom Confrontation

4. Afrika Naruto Ultimate Ninja

5. Valkaria Chronicles MotorStorm

360:

1. Gears 2

2. Fable 2

3. Banjo Nuts and Bolts

4. Left 4 Dead

5. Infinite Undiscovery

My thoughts:

Resistance 2 looks like it will be a good game. I am not certain if it will be unbelieveable or trend setting but it the visuals from e3 looked good.

Little Big Plant will be the best platformer of 2008 IMO. I was really impressed with this yesterday. I thought Banjo would be much better but after seeing some gameplay I think that it provides so much innovation that cannot be ignored.

I didnt hear or see much of Socom and as such it is only here do to brand.

Afrika and Valkaria Chronicles I am intrigued by but have yet to see to much on these games. I am not too sure what is coming Sony's way this year but feel free to list games that you are excited about.

____

Gears 2 will be the biggest title this holiday season and righly so. I was blown away with the gameplay footage shown and really believe that this titled has been fine tuned and polished. The visuals look stunning and maybe the best of this generation.

Fable 2 I am most excited about. I think this game maybe the most innovative game this generation based on what I have seen with the pub games and orb co-op element.

Banjo looks great and will be the best platformer avaliable on the 360. I think LBP will be the best of the year with Banjo a close second.

Left 4 Dead will be the sleeper hit of 2008. If you don't believe me remeber who developed this game (Counter Strike Source anyone?). I think it has a shot to be a top 3 XBL game, lets hope the single player is great aswell.

Infinite Undiscovery I wont probably get. I am more inclinded to get LO or Last Reminent this year but it appears that many are excited about this game. Hopefully it turns out well and I will change my mind.

My choice is the 360 for variety and because Fable 2 and Gears 2 are in my top 5 games of this year.

8 - 360

4 - PS3

3 - Undecided

Gears OF War 2 is pretty much the only 360 title I want on the PS3 , Apart from that i'm loving everything Sony has to offer for the rest of the year.
