Even though I own a PS3, lets all be honest, most of 2007 sucked for the PS3. R&C is great, and Uncharted is yet to be released, but overall 2007 was a bad start for the PS3.

2008 seems like it should be the year when the PS3 finally starts to really pick up some steam. With the release of Home, plus titles like MGS4, and other big name exclusives, it looks like a good year. One of the things that could hinder the PS3 in 2008 is 3rd party support. Sony has got to do something to get these 3rd parties on board, otherwise it's gonna get more ugly than 2007.

The mulitplats should also have an affect on the PS3. Assassins Creed and Burnout Paradise are two of my favorite multiplats coming out. I just got my 360 back from being resurrected from the RROD and I am throughly enjoying it. The 360 seems to get the upper hand with multiplats, simply because MS does a good job to give developers the tools they need to get the games on 360 to run very well.

Sony has to start doing the same thing as MS, by giving 3rd party developers the help they need to make games on the PS3, that doesn't require dissecting the Cell. Sony has got to release something to the 3rd parties to make development easier on the PS3.

2008 will be the deciding year on the PS3's fate. I believe that, if games like MGS4 and LBP and FFXIII can't make people buy PS3's, then nothing ever will.

you pretty much hit the nail on the head. Personally, I don't think MSG4 and FF will pull it out enough to overtake the 360. As long as cross platform titles continue to arrive earlier and look better on the 360 than they do on the PS3, the PS3 will always play second fiddle.

That said, what exclusives does the 360 have coming up in 2008? I don't know if I can name any.

2008 is definately is going to be PS3's year. They need this in their most utmost hour. If they can't get next year, I suggest to start working on Plan B.

I know Sony don't want to wait for success thats why they're scrambling with their PS3s this year. But yep I do agree 2008 is the last chance for PS3 to gain traction in the market. Also I believe Sony really needs a big bang this holiday season to widen up their install base to help with 2008. Also it just a matter of when games like MGS4, Killzone 2, FF, etc. are going to come out. People can't wait any longer. Matter of fact, people aren't waiting anymore and they are jumping in, with the 360 and Wii already.

Too Human, Fable 2, Halo Wars, NG 2 is 100 times better than MGS4 , GT5 (why did you put Killzone 2?), and FFFlopsAgain3

Yes of course, a new IP, a sequel to a disappointing game last-gen, a CONSOLE RTS, and a sequel to a game that sold less than 2 million copies will be bigger than (and 100x better than) 3 of the most popular and critically acclaimed franchises in the history of videogames.

What does 360 have in 08?

Too Human?

UT3? (after the PS3 version all ready came out)

Honestly, they have hardly anything. Announced at least.

PS3 has MGS 4, Killzone 2, FF XIII, Resistence 2, Motorstorm 2, and not too mention its going to have all teh great Multiplat games the 360 gets also.

UT3 will sell more on the 360 cause nobody is buying a PS3 for that garbage

P.s who cares about Resistance 2, Motorstorm 2, Killzone 2, Forever Fantasy and MGS4 which is crap on a stick?

Might as well say flop, flop, flop, flop and flop

It will most likely pick up steam and do much better next year, '07's been the worst one Sony has ever seen. Another repeat and it's curtains.

I say make, with games like MGS 4, FFXIII, GT5, TEKKEN 6, KZ2 and great developers who are working to make great games next year ( Quantic dream, Team ICO...etc) and by releasing more RPGs from Japan, it will do fine, I hope so because I liked the PS brand for their beautiful unforgettable games for a decade, I believe that PS1 and PS2 success came from the second year, I think Sony delaying games to make sure they make it on top in 2008.

It's doing good this year and will do great next year, imo. Games are steadily arriving.
