*I know that some of these are multi-plat, but I'm just showing how there is no drought through 2007 for the 360. Besides, I think all of these games are pretty high-profile and will all sell well or very well.

reasons why the ps3 and/or wii will catch up to the 360.

The point of the thread is...When you have a line-up as deep, well-rounded, and spread out as this, what reason is there to buy a PS3/Wii over a 360 (this year)? The answer, for any non-fanboy is...there is no reason. Not to mention the fact that the 360 has a larger game library, and a lot of Platinum hits/budget games allready on shelves.ArchaoN

Dear lemmings.  If this is even remotely true, then why did you all buy the Xbox back in the day when the PS2 had a line-up deeper, more well-rounded and spread out than the Xbox or 360 ever had?  Yet for some reason none of you lemmings even remotely liked the PS2 and instead opted for the Xbox with its sparses, less deep and less rounded library.

Yet for some reason you now think this is gaming perfection to ignore the simple fact the Wii is crushing the 360 in monthly/weekly sales and will likely be the #1 console by the end of this year.

Then I congratulate you.  However, I find it pretty ridiculous that the most fanboyish lemmings suddenly thing that a well-rounded library is all it takes to pull in customers.  It's ridiculous because they all bought a console for irrational reasons in the first place.

I agree, the 360 has an amazing line-up...but I bought a Wii first because it's a lot cheaper and for the price of the 360 now, I got the Wii and two games.  Plus the Wii is wicked fun and has a good line-up on the way this year as well.  Meanwhile, I can wait until the 360 drops in price once or twice before buying it.

I'm sure many other casuals (who drive the market) feel the same way.  The Wii is much cheaper and a blast to play.  Plus, the fact it is still impossible to find makes people want it more.  The simple fact is this industry is purely popularity driven and right now the Wii shows no sign of losing that popularity.  They are outselling the 360 and PS3 combined. 

For anyone to act as if that is meaningless and a reason the Wii won't outsell the 360 either is kidding themselves or doesn't know how to add.

The wii has 3 games that are system sellers this year for the hardcore and casuals: Metroid Prime 3: Corruptions, Mario Galaxy, and Smash Brothers: Brawl

The wii also has 3 games that are system sellers this year for non-gamers: Wii Music, Wii Heath Pack, and Wii Play

Then you have games like: Sonic and the Secret Rings(hopefully restore Sonic to its former glory), Super Paper Mario, DragonQuest Swords(most likely a hit in Japan), Manhunt 2(for the mature crowd), The Godfather: Blackhand Edition(mature as well), Guitar Hero, No More Heroes, Fire Emblem, Resident Evil: UC, Project Hammer(new IP from Nintendo), Disaster: Day of Crisis(new IP from Nintendo), Sword of Legendia, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers, Sadness(even though it is concept art at the moment, I'm still excited), Pokemon Battle Revolution, Animal Crossing(another big hit in Japan), Mario Party 8, Mario Strikers Charged, Dewy's Adventure. And possibly many more games that have not been announced yet.

Then you have tons of VC titles that are a bonus. So I do believe the wii definitely has a possibility to catch up with the 360 this year.

You are mistaken, Wii is outselling the PS3 in Europe. PS3 is the leader in 0 major market regions.
