Higher-rated games (as already shown), outselling the 360 on a monthly world-wide basis, Blu-ray victory vs. announcement of a game not even coming out this year going multi-plat and a game outscored by MGS4, and matched by Echochrome.
And you say the 360 wins? Oh lol
The 360 has better exclusives coming? Prove it - oh wait, you can't. So far, the PS3 has taken this year. Will that be the case as we get ready for '09? I don't know, you don't know. We'll just have to wait and see.
Really? the PS3 games outselling the 360 games? I havent noticed...Currently, MGS 4 sold 2.58 million...

Considering this game is one of the biggest games on the playstation(PS1, PS2 and PS3), this number is completely laughable. Halo was out on only TWO systems.. XBOX (completely new system unlike PS1) and the 360. Halo 3 sold 8.1 million...

I know there are more games to compare but Im comparing the 2 biggest exclusive games first. Now lets compare the biggest Multiplat-GTA IV. GTA 4 Sold 5.71 million on the XBOX 360 and 4.81 million on the PS3...Considering this game was ALWAYS a timed exclusive for the playstation consoles, this is completely laughable once more...

I can prove that there are more exclusives coming (I did), but i can't really prove that they are necessarily better yet. Its kind of obvious however. Banjo is probably going to be on par with LBP. GeOW 2 easily will wipe the floor with Resistance 2, etc.
lol, the Xbox was a new console and the first Playstation wasn't?
Anyways, now that that's out of the way, MGS4 was responsible for an increase in sales of the PS3 too, something a large number of other games have failed to do so far. Even GTA4 didn't see a lot of console sales after its release. I'm gonna say PS3 because so far they have had a better year. They're selling well at the moment, and apart from a few massive stuff-ups, like the Free Radical guys managing to ruin Haze despite all their combined experience in the FPS genre (Timesplitters + a large part of the old Goldeneye devs), the year is going good.
FFXIII is not a reason to say its the 360's year. Japanese 360 owners won't get it, but the low number of *** owners would make the game laughable over there, and Versus XIII is still PS3 exclusive at the moment. Besides, the 360 version is going to be a direct port of the PS3's. So prepare for multiple discs when it finally comes out (probably 2010 or later based off SE other recent games, such as FFXII).
Halo is one of the most overhyped games of all time. It wasn't revolutionary when it came out since most of its ideas were already in games before it. Tribes had vehicles and massive maps, etc etc. It played well, I will admit that, but too many hallways to walk down, and its pacing was just too slow. Same as the multiplayer. It was fun for a while, but there are much better games out there. And the campaign has one of the worst stories ever. You could tell M$ threw money at the reviewers when they all went and described it as "epic".... either that or they're retarded and wouldn't know a decent plot if it came up and bit them on the ****
