Halo 3 is massive and it will be 360s best game this generation but after the hype has died down for it, really thats it, you will still get good games but nothing like halo it will slowly die down and probably only sell about as much as the original xbox did plus a couple extra mill or 2

Who cares if it wont be as sucessful as halo, doesnt mean it`ll go downhill, games like Mass effect, COD4, Assassins Creed, GTA4, Etc. will still keep it alive, stop being such a fanboy and just live on that the 360 is here to stay.

Umm, doesn't the most anticipated RPG of the year get released next month for the 360? Not to mention NG2 next year as well? I'd say the 360 will be fine, but hey, what ever helps you sleep at night.

um Link to the Past or Mario World are considered the best SNES games, and it didnt die down now did it.

Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy 7 were the best games on the PS1 in the eyes of many fans, but that didnt stop it from selling now did it.

GTA 3, FF X, and MGS 2 are considered some of the best PS2 games from last gen but nope didnt stop the PS2s game library from getting even bigger.

360 still all the major multiplats. plus Alan Wake, Fable 2, Splinter Cell Conviction, Ninja Gaiden 2, Mass Effect, Infinite Undiscovery, Lost Odyssey, Banjo 3, Too Human, Halo Wars, and thats all 08.

09 will probably have other big games like Gears 2, the Halo peter jackson project, that Cry on game from Mistwalker and more but we will know more about 09 around the end of 08.

I hate to say it being a big Nintendo fan but Wii looks likely to go downhill.The big ones being Brawl, Twilight Princess, Galaxy, Metroid 3, and Mario Kart will all be out in the first year and a half of the systems lifespan.There's no guranatee on new games from other franchises like Donkey Kong, Star Fox, and F-Zero, and 3rd party developers haven't had much success with Wii so far.

Claims as "can only go down", "maximized its potential", "at its peak", I never liked.

Let's look at it logically (OHSNAP!) for a sec.

Say the 360's best looking game is Gears, and it can't better it. Now what? Since the 360 has reached its peak so early (and of course, the peak is a physical thing, eh?), it will eventually sink down to NES levels, the longer it stays up? Or will games still look good enough to beat the competition?

Same for sales, what if another games takes 2nd place in how much a game has sold? Is it bad since it was beaten by Halo, or good because it beat all others?

Same for everything else.

That said, you don't know the 360 is at its peak, so stop spouting crap.

Halo wasn't even the game I was most hyped about this quarter, let alone the year or the entire gen.

While I think Halo 3 is a great game, its far from the best the 360 has to offer. In my view its a bit above average, not worth a 9.0+ score.

The idea of a console losing its momentum when there is no logical evidence or feasible reason to suggest it, is pretty short-sighted, and ignorant.

That's like me saying in 2002 that the PS2's biggest hits already came out and there is no room to grow from there (its going to go downhill), because graphics could not possibly get any better on the platform, and developers have completely lost interest in a console that continues that outsell the competition by a staggering amount, because they felt that they had already made enough money and are done for 5 years. It just makes no sense.

And in the real world, the 360 and Wii keeps slaughtering the PS3 in sales. Hey, someone has to be last in a race, or it wouldn't be called a race!!!

Hey, aren't you the one that told everyone to buy Enron stocks???

if anything the 360 has had remarkable success in establishing new franchises, such as bioshock and GEoW, so i think it's premature to say the system has peaked, just because halo 3 is out.

I'm anticipating Fable 2 and GTA 4. Halo 3 doesn't mean a lot to me other than the 4-player co-op. Best game in general, but not for me.

im gonna break it down, cus im drunk and i dont care...

mass effect = AAA game, top of the line, bioware is an awesome dev, too bad MS isnt buying them and they are making a ps3 game next.

too human = Lair 2.0, it looks nice but it has many problems, even more problems than lair, switching engines mid development is about as bad as you can get, im not even gonna list their litigation problems


infinite undiscovery = was a MS published game that was being made by a western dev IIRC, it definately looked like a WRPG, and now MS has gotten SE to publish it while they are making FF13, versus(by kingdom hearts devs) and star ocean 4(tri ace) for ps3.

lost odyssey = the game is even hyped "A" by lemmings, shows how little even they care about the game.

halo wars = AOE devs were good, 2 was good, 3 sucked really bad compared to 2, this is coming from a pc gamer, i still play AOE2, halo wars looks horrible, maybe it will be decent on pc but on 360 i have no hope, its an RTS byw.

alan wake = well, i dont know what to say, play it on pc cus it will be at least decent on here.

cry on = i dunno havent seen **** and the devs are crap, (blue dragon 6.0) or is it sagakuchi? i dont remeber, anyways not much hype for it....

geow 2 = hasnt started production according to mark, and they dont even know if they will this gen according to his forum posts from what i read.

fable 2 = 1 buttom combat WRPG? GG...

I very much disagree, everything on that list interests me more than any ps3 game, other than FF13/vs13.

This guy is right, there probably wont be another game as big as Halo on the 360. That's a bad thing cause we all know that the PS3 and Wii have like 30 games as big as Halo. It's all down hill from here on:roll:
