I think 2008 will either be the year of the PS3 or the year of the PC

The PC will have titles like Starcraft 2, Fallout 3, Alan Wake, Haze, Far Cry 2, Star Siege, Splinter Cell: Conviction, F.E.A.R 2 (hopefully) amongst others.

The PS3 will have Killzone 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, GT5, Tekken 6 and LittleBigPlanet amongst its key exclusives.

I think it's going to be a tough battle next year and I think both the 360 and Wii may lose ground. The 360 has a shortage of killer titles next year (Halo Wars, Alan Wake, Fable 2, Splinter Cell: Conviction, Banjo-Kazooie 3 being amongst the few platform exclusives) The rest of the big sellers that year for the 360, will be my opinion, multiplatform titles like UT 3, Fallout 3 and Haze (which will have appeared elsewhere)

As for the Wii, what titles are going to slay Killzone 2 and its PS3 buddies?

The PC will already have a Killzone 2 slayer this year in the shape of Crysis (which is graphically superior to Killzone 2 and will still be next year when Killzone 2 comes out) and even UT 3 on the PS3 looks (and will play) better than that game.

But next year, who knows?

Most of those games on PC are appearing on 360 as far as I know. I think PS3 has alot of proving to do, while the others are established...okay Wii is not established in good games yet either.

Actually, the PC IS a video game "system". Its included in "SYSTEM" wars.

Currently, the PS3 has a much better lineup in 2008 than either the 360 or the Wii. Of course, we have seen pretty much all Sony has to offer in 2008 at E3, so we'll just have to see if the 360 and Wii have anything to rebutt that with.

Well, the fact that PC has always been there and will always be there, the fact that it goes so much further than playing the games kinda makes it unfair for the systems to be compared. Also the other fact that you can make it as srtrong as you'd like.

I don't think even Starcraft 2 can stop Sony. One game can't take on everything Sony is bringing to the table. That is if it is even coming out next year.

Thats great, you've acknowledged the PC patty sacks the other systems. That still doesn't change the fact its a video game system.

PS3 let me down when most all their exclusives became multiplatform, and when their Killerapps skipped the year 2007 and have a release date of sometime 2008.

WOW starcraft 2>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>killzone 2

SSBB>>>>>>>>>>>Killzone 2

I agree with the SC2 one, but SSBB... no, it's the other way around.

But SC2 is just one game and Killzone 2 isn't the only game coming out. LBP, KZ2, GT5, MGS4, FFXIII... so on and so on... SC2 can't take them all as much as I like Blizzard and Starcraft.

I wish FFXIII was coming out in 2008, but that'll probably at the earliest Q2 2009:( However you can expect Sony to unviel the inevitable sequels such as Resistance 2 and Jak and Daxter. Sony has the best 2008 lineup so far I think.

I see. Common sense. In other words, I really don't know, but I think I know.

The PC doesn't need to stop anyone really. It has no chance to go out of gaming business.

You guys should not even argue this, because there is a stickied thread about this topic. I have had out with casey with pc to console comparison, and pc I guess after what he has said is a console as well. So there for it is part of the battle between wii, ps3, and 360.
