It's not looking good for the XS360 in '08.

Halo ends this year, we all know Halo made Xbox. In 2008 MS has no proven system sellers. They're living on a prayer if you ask me. The only thing MS has over Sony is a head start and better sales(at the moment). The reason MS has higher sales right now is because they have more apppealing games (at the moment). Heck, I don't see any exclusive system seller for MS this year besides Halo and Mass Effect, and Mass Effect doesn't have a good chance of being a system seller either since its unproven. By the end of this year, Sony will have the better line-up. Heavenly Sword, Lair, Uncharted, Tekken 6, MGS4(07 until denied by Hideo Kojima himself), NGS sigma, Ratchet and Clank, and Folklore>>>> Halo and Mass Effect. See, Sony has the better line-up this fall, and 08 looks even better for Sony, seeing as thats when they have the most franchises being released. What franchises does MS have for 08? Fable2?:lol:, yeah, because we know RPGs sale like hot cakes on the 360. oh wait:|

Ninja Gaiden 2, Mass Effect 2, Too Human 2, as well as plenty of other exclusives that will probably have sequals.

I love how he says unproven series and then he mentions Heavenly Sword(unproven dev), Lair, and Folklore. Also non of those are system sellers. Neither is ratchet, Uncharted, even Tekken. MGS 4 and FF 13 can move systems.
Also 360 has Halo 3, Mass Effect, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Fable 2, Too Human, Huxley, Bioshock and other games over PS3. Also Oblivion sold very well on 360. Thats an rpg. That sold on 360. You fail. Next year 360 will most likely get Ninja Gaiden 2. Itagaki isnt gonna be working on the PS3 version, so for the most part its guaranteed timed exclusive. Then theres the fact, that more than likely Ninja Gaiden Sigma wont sell as much on PS3 as many think. Considering Itagaki is very loyal to the Xbox brandname, and loves the 360. Yeah im willing to bet Ninja Gaiden 2 will remain exclusive. WIth the fact that GTA 4 will also be on the same system as Halo 3. On a cheaper priced console. Expect the combo of Halo 3 and GTA to sell more 360s then MGS 4 and GTA 4.

If anyone actually believes Halo will end with this release (not even talkign Halo Wars either), than you're naive IMHO. Sure John may end his story here, but to think MGS will get rid of it's go to series so quickly and while it's trying to claim and hold number one is foolish.

Don't put your faith in a Halo RTS as a system seller or as a good game.  Ensemble is making it and even though they are a very good studio their work has been lacking severely lately.

I already listed 11 games. I am sure there is more also and that is pretty good since it is still only 1/2 thru 07 and MS can still drop a bunch of huge titles at E3.

Halo ends this year, we all know Halo made Xbox. In 2008 MS has no proven system sellers. They're living on a prayer if you ask me.RazzyRenji

The 360 has sold over 10 million without Halo.  Imagine that.  And still outselling the PS3.

The only thing MS has over Sony is a head start and better sales(at the moment). The reason MS has higher sales right now is because they have more apppealing games (at the moment). Heck, I don't see any exclusive system seller for MS this year besides Halo and Mass Effect, and Mass Effect doesn't have a good chance of being a system seller either since its unproven.RazzyRenji

Amazing how Sony fanboys write off new exclusive 360 franchises because they are "unproven" and then turn right around and say...............

By the end of this year, Sony will have the better line-up. Heavenly Sword, Lair, Uncharted, Tekken 6, MGS4(07 until denied by Hideo Kojima himself), NGS sigma, Ratchet and Clank, and Folklore>>>> Halo and Mass Effect. RazzyRenji

.....cause we all know, new IP's only benefit a Siny console right? :lol:

See, Sony has the better line-up this fall, and 08 looks even better for Sony, seeing as thats when they have the most franchises being released. What franchises does MS have for 08? Fable2?:lol:, yeah, because we know RPGs sale like hot cakes on the 360. oh wait:| RazzyRenji

Fable sold over 2.6 million LINK

Oblivion sold over 1.6 million LINK


And it's always the games you don't know about that end up being the best ;)

The Xbox 360 will have it's center piece which is Halo 3 surrounded but a squad of videogames that are appealing. Samething with Sony's system seller as well. So for those who haven't made a console purchase they'll be greeted with a fair amount of games. So I don't see how 08 will be lacking for either. But! I do believe that with Halo 3's popularity will have affects this Fall.

You don't realize that Halo 3 is the biggest sales event in gaming history, of course they're going to get as many Halo preorders they can possibly endure.

Heck, I don't see any exclusive system seller for MS this year besides Halo and Mass Effect, and Mass Effect doesn't have a good chance of being a system seller either since its unproven. |RazzyRenji


That was the TC. He specifically implied exclusives. Why would you bring up games that aren't exclusive, if that's what the TC was referring to?

Only a fool would believe that there would only be three games coming out in the next two years. And don't worry im pretty sure noone is turning in a console that's less expensive and has more quality games for a game system that preaches waiting for the new messiah in gaming. Hint: people are still waiting.

god of war 3....easily better than halo3 and all the rest...I base that purely on god of war 1 and 2 over halo 1 and 2...they really are better games...I actually have all 3 systems so this aint a fanboy bias...just an opinion...I like all the 3 systems...although my xbox broke 4 times...that aint a joke
