You tried me so here it goes:

Infamous,Tekken6,Yakuza 3,MGS4,FFXIII,FFVXIII,Killzone 2, Socom, Little big planet, L.A Noire,AFRIKA,Monster hunter 3,Eight days,Jak and daxter,Red wood falls, Heavey rain,Loco roco,Motorstorm 2,,The agency,White knight story,EYE dentify,EYE create,Ember,Drangoballz(working title), Naruto(working title) etc..

Saints row 2 is confirmed for the ps3 as well, there are more just that they havent been announced yet.

The point I was making was that Microsoft has a lot of exclusive content coming as well. Really, it doesn't matter how much exclusives are coming out because both companies are doing well at it... And to be frank, if a company does not make enough money on an exclusive they simply, port and release on the other platform as well...

The original post seemed to question if Microsoft had anything worth talking about next year... And they do... So, I listed some of it that can be construed based on screenshots, demos, trailers, etc.

As for Saints Row 2... I thought that PS3 development was cancelled, but upon further research I was wrong, it was only Saints Row development that was cancelled... Thanks for the correction.


 As I stated in my second post, my point wasn't that the 360 has a bad lineup by any means.  For those that already own the system, they will be quite content with the selection.  My point was that, from the looks of it, the ps3 will have a substantially better lineup than the 360 next year, and, imo, said lineup will help the ps3 sell substantially better next year, due to a combination of sheer volume and diversity, but also because specific games in the lineup are from high profile franchises.

Lets rule out NG2 then

If sony had a $399.99 system it would be outsellin gthe 360 currently 2 to 1.

You like every other xbox fan bring up killzone 1, they SAID THAT its going to be the best ps2 shooter(it was),but they SHOWED KILLZONE 2, they didnt just say $hit they actually SHOWED it.

The ps3 is $559.99 in japan ofcourse its not going to be selling well. Also to add to this, back on towards the dropping price, the ps3 will still outsell the 360 even if it were dropped again at the $399.99 price point.



 That's a bit of a stretch.  The price drop will help, and it probably would start outselling  the 360 (well, maybe not until after the Halo 3 hype dies), but 2:1?  I don't see it.

Nope. The PS3 is roughly $430 in Japan and the Japanese still don't care about it.

To get on topic:

The ps3 is going to pass the xbox 360 or is the ps3 going to keep its slow pace(as equally as fast as the x360)?

*Japan is sony's last resort if needed in the future.

*$399.99 40gb ps3 if true, will mean the end of the xbox 360(for a fact).

*MGS4(system seller) Killzone 2(if this becomes a game as great as halo alot of x360 owners will jump the sony band wagon) FF XIII(FF does miracles), LBP, and Infamous a new exclusive IP are just a taste.

*As for NG2 I doubt it wont come to the ps3 in 2008, NGS was exclusive, why cant NG2 be released?

*Kingdom hearts(maybe on wii but if on ps3 expect huge sales)

First of all NG2 is published by MS so just like Gears don't expect to see it on another console. Also why maybes able to make the PS3 look better but they don't count for the 360. There goes the double standards.



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

You guys dont seem to understand, buena vista studios is multiplatform, they published kingdom hearts, square enix developed the game. Buena vista is disney. Disney has a NEW studio exclusive to nintendo, therefore has nothing to do with Kingdom hearts.

There's actually a higher chance KH would come to the ps3, simply because of the ps2 exclusive. Now, here's the catch, wii has a larger install base dropping the chances off.

So basicly Kingdomhearts 3 is possible on the wii exclusively the ps3, but not on both too much $$$$ wasted.

No sorry dont lie in this thread, you stated that the 360 was the winner for 2008 in exclusives and I proved you wrong.

Would you care to actually post something useful in this thread instead of pointing out the fanboys? You have yet to actually respond to the OP. All you 've done is generalize Sony fans, labeling them hypocrites.

We're not all like that. I clearly stated that there's a good chance that MS could gnab a Shenmue 3 announcement next week at TGS in the OP, so your accusation of "maybes able to make the ps3 look better but they don't count for the 360" is completely unfounded.

Edit: Not too mention, I didn't mention KH at all in the OP, for the specific reason that it is likely to go to the Wii.  How am I making the ps3 look good and the 360 bad, as you so stated in your first post? 



Seems like alot of these posts would have you believe that MS would sit on their ass and twidle their thumbs while Sony executes offensive manuevers like cranking out new exclusives or dropping hardware prices.

"We dont need to do a thing! Lets just ride on the success of Gears and Halo3 till the end of this console war!" NOT.

The Microsoft entity knows how to roll with the punches too you know. And Im sure there is stuff in 2008 and 2009 we dont even know about yet from ALL camps.

@Leo-j : A 399$ PS3 would end this battle you think? And if the Xbox with hdmi +HD drops to 299? Then what?



PS360 ftw!

Currently playing..........

Gears of War 2, GTA IV Lost and Damned, Little Big Planet (Yes I said I had no interest but my girl wanted to try it and we did and now Im hooked )

 Killzone 1 was definitly not the best shooter on the PS2.

Timesplitters, Red Faction and even Black were all better. Hell, the PS2 port of half life is far better than KZ

BTW, the PS3 has two SKUs in Japan, one of which is about 450 - maybe a little less.
