You forgot Heavy Rain, generic FF spin offs, Mod Nation and Agent (assuming agency = the agency)
Lynch him



There won't be any sort of domination going on before the release of Natal. The reception of Natal is completely up in the air right now considering the lack of specific information that MS has released in regards to packaging/pricing and most importantly, software support.

We can skip the perfunctory listing of titles and exclusives for the first half+ of 2010 because all game platforms in 2010 have strong line ups with stand out titles that are "must buy" for their respective platforms.

It boils down to pricing and packaging for the Xbox as Fall begins to wind down. If MS significantly drops prices on their two main SKUs while simultaneously bundling Natal along with a true killer app with the broad appeal of Wii Sports, then the Xbox has the potential to see runaway sales for the holidays. Any sort of console hardware redesign would be primarily for the purpose of cutting costs by reducing materials in production, which is purely speculation anyway. Let's see the spy photos from a Chinese factory before making with the "Slim 360" rumors.

That is a lot of "ifs" not to say that this couldn't still happen.

Regardless, it wouldn't happen before the end of Q3 through Q4.



Yeah I don't see either really dominating the other until the fall...of course Nintendo should continue to outsell both. Once fall comes it may be a different story, MS has so much advantage with price and natal, I just don't think Sony will be able to keep up.

Meh,the price advange hasnt work really,they cut the price for the 360 but the ps3 still dominated so natal its their only hope.Halo reach wont sell many units cuz it only appeals to people who already have an xbox360.

Well i really do think this is sony's year. i see them going neck-neck with the big n, losing by 2-3 million units worldwide. Gran Turismo 5, God of War 3, MLB 10 The Show, more sales than the 360 version of Final Fantasy 13, MAG, The Last Guardian, possible re-released and improved Metal Gear Solid 4 (Kojima has done this with each Metal Gear Solid game) , ModNation Racers, White Knight Chronicles, Last Rebellion, and the underrated Heavy Rain. Now im not going to deny that Halo Reach, Splinter Cell Conviction and Mass Effect 2 will be awesome and they'll sell great, but i see Alan Wake disappointing like AC1 and even worse, Too Human. Fable 3 will most likely be delayed and i dont c the bugs of Bayonetta making a difference between the sales between the ps3 and 360. 

 

So in short, no the 360 wont dominate this year. Another 3rd place finish for the XBOX 360.



Human contact, the final frontier.

Right now I am only looking at Alan Wake, and SPlinter Cell: Conviction right now. The rest of the line-up does not look like it will meet the quality of games I like to play. The only one on the fence is Mass Effect 2. I am sure we will see some great stuff announced that will launch this year. I really hope Gears of War 3 will be shown again at GDC for a fall launch, but that other crappy franchise (Halo) may mean no Gears this year. I have to wait and see more on Natal.

For me even my 2 for sure titles will make this a good year for the 360, but in terms of dominating from a games point PS3 will take the cake.

For PS3 I will be getting MAG, Heavy Rain, Final Fantasy XIII (the Better Version), God of War 3, Gran Turismo 5, Agent, The Last Gaurdian, and MLB 10 The Show. Again I am sure that we will see more titles announced for this year, and the same goes for the new controls here as with Natal.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

No one is going to dominate no one. It's going to be a tight race.

( Speaking only of HD consoles )



Who's the best Pac, Nas, and Big. Just leave it to that.

PLAYSTATION®3 is the future.....NOW.......B_E_L_I_E_V_E

Slaughterhouse Is The Sh*t  .... NOW ........ B_E_L_I_E_V_E

MASS EFFECT 2!


That is all.

then theres the "fact that the 360 may be getting redisgned"

there is no Fact At all , thats all Fanboy speculation Because Sony Did A Redesign

You think the Agency Is going too Sell 4 million ? Do you mean Agent ?

I think Xbox360's Exclusives Will sell more , but i bet PS3s Exclusives Will Average a Higher Ratings , Better Games > Better Sales IMO

And i bet PS3 Sells more units of hardware in 2010

 

Going off about nothing are you?

May be and speculation are about the same damn thing.  And its not fanboy speculation because not everyone who thinks its gonna happen is a fanboy.

Yep thanks ,but your right its not All fanboys some are just Fans some are not , But there is Still NO Fact.
