We know very little about what games are coming for the Wii and 360. The PS3 on the otherhand has many games coming, but they were all delayed from 06 or 07. Very little has been announced for the PS3 as well. What's with all the secrecy?

All the secrecy has to do with the fact that the publishers want to protect the game's image as much as possible until it's actually on store shelves because negative news flooding gaming forums is the last thing they want.

CES would be a nice time to hear about some games. :) After that, I really don't know when new games would be showcased...

Everything's being cancelled to make more Wii shovelware of course :shock: Actually I'm not bothered as I haven't picked up a 360 or PS3 yet (but very soon). There's an insane amount of games on my wanted list for this reason.

Yeah, but a large part of that list was announced as 07 releases. Many were announced in 05. That's three years ago!

so technically we already know alot about this year's line up. The fun part is learning about all of the suprises -- but those usually dont happen in the first few days of January.

Yeah, but my point is that not much NEW has been announced for 08. 08 may end up being a great year, but it's looking like the year of the leftovers to me.

What has been announced is good, so I'm satisfied for now. Plus the first gaming show is in February. Hope Gears 2 and more of Home is shown there.

Nintendo probably wants their fanbase to concentrate hype on SSBB for now? I dunno. Nintendo has barely announced anything, so that's surprising.

Sony's 2008 lineup is strong and has been known for a while, although I think they're keeping a few surprises in store, as are MS I think.

I'm mainly concerned about Nintendo's. I'm hoping all that money has gone to some great games for this year...

Well, they revealed the Wiimote and then Sony stole their idea in a flash, so maybe they have some big things to reveal and don't want competitors stealing ideas.

Hopefully.

Because motion sensing is just so damn original isn't it?

Koalakommander

I'm not going to get into this debate. It's obvious Sony took the idea after the positive reaction Nintendo received from the gaming community after they revealed the Wiimote.

And I don't even care. I like the sixaxis and am glad Sony has motion sensing in it. It's good for some games (and crap for others), and I expect it to be used well in the future. Same thing with the Wiimote.
