Hello, I just wanted to open some of your eyes about the 360. Many people are saying that the 360 is the best game console out right now and will be for years to come. But the thing is that theory is only half true. Sure, the 360 has been owning the PS3 in sales in North America and it arguably has better games out right now with Superb games likeBioshock, GoW and Halo 3. While the PS3 has onlyRatchet and Clank: TOD, Heavenly Sword and the highly overrated Folklore which are do not quite meet the standards of the 360 games above it. But the 360 will die very swiftly during 2008. The PS3 is coming out with eye popping exclusives like Killzone 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, LittleBigPlanet, White Kinight Story, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, God of War 3, Gran Turismo 5. And the 360 has Too Human, Alan Wake, Ninja Gaiden 2. Compare those exclusives and choose which ones win. What I am trying to say is that the end of the 360's golden age is dawning and that the PS3 shall triumph!

Congrats on leaving out a bunch of 360 exclusives in an attempt to skew your argument in your favor.

It arguably has better games out now ? LOL. Theres no argument.

Killzone 2 - not this again.
MGS4 - Great.
WKS - Could Fable/Sudeki/Jade Empire
Can you really count Versus AND FFXIII ? Either way, metrosexuals.
GoW3 - Awesome.
GT5 - Forza > *

You forgot BK3, trumps the PS3's lineup.

Are you serious? 360 has tons of games coming out, exclusive and PC-multiplat. Just gained another game today, Supreme Commander.

Nice try, but why would you get a ps3 if all your friend at your school have a 360? Do you not like playing games with your friends? And sony has shown their hand for 2008, but microsoft has only shown a few cards.

:lol:

I'm sorry, too funny. Seriously, you people need some new material. Lets look at the facts: Has the 360 outsold the PS3 every month since it released? Yep, by a longshot every month. How far ahead is the 360 in terms of total sold? Lets see...12.5 million for the 360 and around 6 million for the PS3. So they're ahead by about 6.5 million, roughly. Do both Consoles have long awaited titles coming out next year? Yep, fanboys can think otherwise...but the hype for Lost Odyssey, Too Human, Alan Wake, Fable 2, Halo Wars, Ninja Gaiden 2, etc etc. all contradict you. *Remembers the software sales of EA titles* Yea, just a ridiculous claim by the TC fails. What's wrong with all doing well? Or is that too much for some...go on with your fanboy ways.

I beg to differ. All three systems have a good slate of (probably) great games in 2008. Anyone who thinks that any one has all the good games is not looking hard enough.

So? By the time Sony ramps up later in 2008, we'll be hearing the first rumblings of the next Xbox. Too little, too late.

none of those games really interest me...I like to play online...and well none of those really appeal to me (MP in killzone 1 was terrible and I'm not expecting Killzone 2 to be any better)

lets see we got

Final Fantasy 13343525224 - Never liked the series...felt there were far too many pointless fights and had near impossible boss battles...plus some of the characters were just plain lame

MGS4- Ehh I loved MGS2 but MGS3 felt wayy to hollywood ( I don't believe boss battles should be in stealth games)to me ( James Bond did the whole banging the hot Russian secret agent thing a long time ago) ...I just don't feel that its a true stealth game (will get flamed for that)

GOW3- Great game for sure...but not worth buying a console for

GT5 - Just another racing game...enough said

I don't think either company is going anywhere for a while. Nor do I think FFXIII will be on American shelves in 08.

The PS3 has great games for 2008, no doubt, but to discout Halo Wars, Fable 2, Alan Wake, Ninja Gaiden 2, Splinter Cell: Conviction and the many great third party multiplats is idiotic fanboy logic. And the 360 still has the price advantage.

I can do that too.

MS will own Sony in 2008 because they have Ninja Gaiden 2 and the PS3's best game will be Madden 09. There is absoloutely nothing else coming out. NOTHING. see ownage confirmed! GO MS!

i tire of these my games are better in 2008 than yours threads on all sides.

And Microsoft has only cut their price by $50 during these two years, so they still have plenty of room left for further cuts. Sony has pretty much burnt that option to a crisp and is still struggling against x360's current price point.

Yes, come 2008.. all the 360s games from 05, 06 and 07 will mysteriously vanish.. and only the 08 games will be available for new owners to purchase.

Atleast.. according to cows.

I never meant that the 05-07 games will disappear but most of the people who wanted those games will already have gotten it.

Yup it will be interesting to see what MS does regarding price cuts in the next year.

Your opinion doesn't = fact.

I hate when fanboys try to pass an argument buy leave out all the facts, you people also add games that won't be out in 2008 and leave out 90% of the Xbox 360 games because it'll threaten your already weak argument. Give it a rest, no one in system wars is buying the hype.
