We know Sony will be releasing there Ace in the hole in the Form of Killzone 2 in Feb of 09. That game like all the big exclusives that were released has huge Hype and protential that might help the PS3 turn the tide against the X360.

No doubt Killzone will have the quality in Graphics, gameplay, and online to be one of the best FPS ever. I am very much looking forward to it. But looking at the releases from the PS3 in Jan - April, this is the only exclusives that is coming out at that time; At least in NA and/or Europe.

X360 has 4 exclusive games that already been comfirmed to be release in Q1.

1. Ninja Blade on 1/29 Japan and 2/3 in NA.

2. Halo Wars 3/3

3. Star Ocean will be released in March as well

4. GTA4: The Lost and the Damned will be out in Feb.

Do you think these 4 exclusives can fend of the Assault of a big exclusive like Killzone 2 and not loss too much ground in sales to the PS3?

It is a very similar situation with Gears of War 2 and the 4 Sony exclusives that came out this Fall. Gears 2 completely dominated LBP, R2, Motorstorm 2, and SOCOM. Oh, but the 360 also has Fable 2 and L4D to help it out.

killzone 2 without price cut is not enough imo, but it will help the PS3

Killzone 2 will not do anything for the PS3 in terms of hardware sales. $100 price drop + Killzone 2 = another story

I'm sure KZ2 will sell very well but after watching PS3 users not buy LBP and Resistance 2 as much as they should I think the 360 will be alright.

Does it matter?
Enjoy games.
Each console will have a boost from own games.

It`s not like Halo 3:ODST will stop people from getting KZ2 or vice versa.

 Crazzy Man, the question here is will the PS3 come close or surpass the 360 in Q1 sales if it just have that one AAA game against more exclusive Q1 releases on 360.

Huh?

Crazzyman are you feeling alright? This is your first post that actually makes sense.

Keep it up.....

I agree.

Crazzyman joined Gaf, maybe he is learning to make some sense

I`m alright :P, just this debate is pointless, there will be a lot of games on both consoles next year, not just KZ2. Don`t forget Infamous, Yakuza 3, Demon`s Soul, WKC(NA release?), FFXIII demo and etc. =)
