Even if MS has no new exclusives to reveal for 2009 (which I highly doubt), it's still somewhat skeptical as to whether the PS3's admittedly strong 09' line-up will give them the edge in sales for that year. There's still that $199 price tag for Sony to worry about. Plus, it seems that MS is relying more on exclusive DLC, not to mention the tempatation of a large amount of multiplats on a cheaper console.

How do you put a game with no name on the list, but forget Uncharted 2?

How do you know these games are brilliant when next to nothing is known about them? 2 of those 3 games don't even have a title, let alone any solid information about them.

No, they will sell more because they will probably drop the price to keep MS from crushing them too badly.

Aside GOW3 and ICO, i do not see a single other game that make PS3 special, especially WKC seems generic, repeatitive and mediocre in both visuals and gameplay

Also 360 gets the single most huge RPG's in 2009, Star Ocean 4, Two Worlds Temptation, Divinity 2, Venetica, Dungeon Hero, Risen etc

and the biggest strategy game, KUF2 plus the biggest adventure, Alan Wake

So, no, PS3 has nothing really important, 360 has the most and biggest real next gen titles in 2009

I don't think exclusives sell very many consoles anymore. If they did the Wii would be in last place.

I've bolded the ones that are actually confirmed for 2009. Maybe take out Wardevil and Fat Princess and put in Uncharted 2 and the next Ratchet and Clank instead.

I still think the price is a major contributing factor. The average consumer looks at the PS3 and sees a $399 price tag, then looks at a 360 and sees a $299 price tag. Games do play a role in swaying the consumer, but to some/most, the price is still the biggest factor.

no, a price cut is what it needs. it could get 5AAAE and 3AAAAE but 360 would probably outsell it if there was no price cut..

I doubt sony relies on games to sell the Ps3 entirely. $$$ is what most people look @. PS3 is 400$ and blue ray movies are on the average about 30$ so yea until the console price drops we will not see a huge increase in sales.

I'm sure the 360 had no sales increase in December, any momentum from November just died when it hit December 1st.

The average comsumer also see the vast lineup for 360 games on selves, the many RPG's, the many discounted titles etc etc

It is far more than just the low price

Problem is not games (both exclusives & multiplats) because PS3 is on par nowadays with its competition when it comes to games... problem is still the price.. Nowadays with all the economic problems people are more concerned about their expences and honestly since 360 is a great console i can understand a new gamer being interested in getting it over a PS3 considering its cheaper..

PS3 still needs a significant price-cut in order to compete with the others, problem is its quite difficult this will happen considering how much money Sony is currently loosing on each PS3 sold..

They will sell more with a price cut. These games may be good, but with the high entrance fee to play them, many people will avoid the system until it is around a cheaper price.

The PS3 needs a price drop. All those exclusives will help sales, but what the PS3 really needs to pick up steam is a lower pricetag.

Like everyone else is saying they need a price drop. If they don't get one, I can't see them selling more PS3 in '09. Now, with cheaper Blu-ray players on the market people are not looking to the PS3 for blu-ray. Also most of those exclusive games are not as widely popular as Halo or the Wii games.

For my gaming dollar, not only does the PS3 need a price drop, but the cheapest unit needs a (good) game bundled. Seriously, during the holidays at Futureshop/BestBuy you could pick up a 360 Pro with up to four games bundled some weeks, but the most I saw for the PS3 was either a remote control (presumably for the BluRay player) or Resistance 1, and even that's disapeared. Even at $300, without a game or extra controller added, it's a steep price of entry for gaming.

I think it's been proven this holiday season that having more/better exclusives doesn't mean squat (for X360/PS3). What matter is the price of the hardware, plain and simple. Last year PS3 had no big exclusives and was a weaker lineup compared to X360.........but they had a price drop of $100. This year you have big exclusives and a better lineup compared to X360......but no price drop. Year over year comps, down in NA for the 4th qtr. That proves that you can have all the exclusives you want, AAAA or AAA titles.......if you don't have a pricecut with it, you are not going to sale squat (if you are not below $200 already). If GTA4 won't sale consoles on either side, Killzone 2, God Of War 3, Gran Turismo 5, ect... is not going to sale consoles. Right now the only way they are going to have strong sales is doing a pricecut. Sony made this reality the moment they let 3rd party titles go multiplat 90% of the time (that's a guesstimate not real number)

Sony needs to lower the price and make it white, because apparently that's what the other consoles have and they're selling.

But seriously the PS3 will do fine this year. I think it'll outsell the 360, but not the Wii.
