Demon's Souls won this for me.

Wow that wii list is extremely incomplete....

GTA DLC is about as big as some games, and its exclusive, it should stay.

Heavy Rain is not this year.

I'm fairly shocked how the PS3's list turned out. Without Heavy Rain, GT5, and...well, that PS3 list...isn't a winner. I'm gonna go for a 2 way tie for second, with Wii and PS3. 360 gold.

@OP Please add Shadow Complex to the 360 list. That improves it a lot, imo.

One thing I see a lot of in threads like this is the excuse that certain games don't appeal to you, and thus they shouldn't count, or that certain games, just because they exist, negate an entire list of other games.

This, as I understand it, is a question of an entire release list, and not just one or two games. I mean, I LOVED Infamous, but I couldn't in good conscience give Sony the win, they just don't have as good of a 2009 release list as MS, imo.

Anyway, yes, it is amazing isn't it. 3 weeks ago, the PS3 had the "best exclusives" and it was "on fire."

After E3, MS manages to edge it out in 09 upcoming release list, and 2010 MS list looks even better than anyone could have thought. With a new Halo, Alan Wake, Mass Effect 2, Crackdown 2, and everything else, along with Sony announcing almost nothing for 2010(multiplat MMO), and delaying all their 2009 releases.

Well crap, MS did the impossible, they caught up with Sony in upcoming exclusives for this year and next year. How did this happen under out noses, and how has it not been discussed more?

Section 8 isnt exclusive, and why are you adding DLC as exclusive? Might as well add psn games.

I don't believe that tbh, they hardly have the holidays jam packed do they? I think they know Heavy Rain would be over shadowed by bigger hits, so they're waiting for a quiet period so it can gain some attention. Good move IMO

You are missing Boom Blox Bash Party and Little Kings Story for the Wii. Both are must haves... plus the other games for Wii that people mentioned. The Wii is also getting the Capcom Vs. game that the other consoles won't this year and you've got Red Steal 2 as a 2009 release when it's actually coming out in 2010.

Some of those 360 games are download content and not new games. I think a few of the others for the system have 2010 release dates.

This seems like a grand assumption from what I have seen. Where did Sony/Quantic Dreams say this? I could have sworn Sony themselves said it was fall 09 title during E3.

Also Gamestop has it in it's system as November 6th release, this is a move UP from December 31st. I just checked yesterday and Gamestop has done their updating of releases for E3 already(seen by them putting FFXIII up finally, Last Guardian, Reach, ect). I know Gamestop does vague dates as a placeholder, but if confirmation for 2010 were true it would be placed as such. God of War III for instance was pushed to 2010 in the system.

But Zen.. why speak objectively about this since in the end, what it all comes down to is the fun you´ll have fun a few of these games, and that can never be objective, only subjective.
