I am not going to make a list, but the PS3 does have the games it needs already. Sony has plenty of exclusives that are very good, and worth playing. Just because a game does not sell 3 to 5 million does not mean it is worse than another first party game that does. As far as third party goes, Sony has not Lost an exclusive this gen. The games still come out on PS3, so just because they also come out on 360 that does not mean they are exclusive like some seem to believe.

This generation is like every other generation before it. Price point and hype sell consoles, games do little to change the direction the market decides to take. Last gen the PS2 hit $199 fast and included DVD, this gen Wii started at $249 and had Motion and now 360 is at $200 with Live and Netflix. The gimicy things are what sell to the mainstream. Once PS3 hits $199 a whole new market opens to it, and all the sudden Home and Blu-ray are the talk of the town. Games sell gamers on buying consoles. For the rest it comes down to what the console does besides gaming that really matters.

Yes the PS3 does have some great games. The problem is, it's HD competitor has more. As a previous PS2 gamer the 360 fits the bill more. I lover JRPG's, Hacknslash, beat em ups, Racing, sport, Adventure, FPS, TPS all genres really. On top of that the Live service is awesome. People are realising that for £129 you get a console with HD visuals and a very impressive library of games. It's great the PS3 has good games, as I said the problem is the 360 constantly improves it's library to. So the gap does not close.

best 2008 games

The PS3 does not have Lost Odyssey, so therefore it is and will always be inferior to the 360.

This gen makes me think games dont even matter, but price and the name wii do..

Dude...if anything this gen shows that games, online and innovation matter. Not bluray and brand name...which seems that were the only 2 aces Sony had this gen.

 

 

 so true

 

lol... man I like trols :P

 

But yeah, the 360 has a huge advantage at this point because of its price... but I still doubt that it will make it...

LOL. That excuse doesnt work. The reality when PS3 came out they were only 5.45mill behind. As of end of year it's looking 7mill + for definate poss 8mill+. The problem is 360 is gaining, and the more they sell the more word of mouth. The more people buy one because their mates are on Live. This gen is rather smart. The people who subscribe up to either network are more likely to stay that network next gen. There a rumours that M$ have passed 16 mill Gold subscribers.

Whether you like it matters not. Its just a fact that the PS3 will always be inferior to the 360 because it does not have LO.

MS is the king of filibustering this gen. Their well timed price drop has filibustered the PS3's catching up all year and has kind of filibustered the Wii's charge into 50% marketshare.

As long as MS keeps getting price cuts at the proper times, the PS3 would never catch the 360 in time.
