The 08 360 lineup is shocking, the PS3s line up is a hell of a lot better so enless the op wants to play gears or pgr i reckon that the move is a wise decision. Thats before rrod issues as well.imo.
Shocking?
We're one month into 08 and both consoles have only had 1 AAA title each, which is the same,
Burnout Paradise.
The next major AAA game is Devil May Cry 4.... which is also on both. It's the same case for Army of Two as well.
Lost Odysee is a new game from the creator of FF, a series which has been a major release throughout Sony's console life, however anyone being honest would say the series has deteriorated ever since FFVII (or perhaps FFVIII as that was awesome too).
The biggest game of the year is on both, which is
GTA4 (though the Xbox360 with it's future content surely puts the ball in their court).
Ninja Gaiden 2 (which is the sequel to the game which was widely seen as the best on PS3 until Uncharted arrived at the very end of 07)
Halo Wars will sell a ridiculous amount of games. Sony fanboys underestimated the power of the franchise before Halo3. 50% of all Xbox360 owners have owned Halo3 (and it wasn't a bundle game).
Whilst I don't doubt that Sony's exclusives are more exciting, I wouldn't say the 360's lineup is shocking because most of the major games are shared format anyway.
Microsoft are going into their 3rd year with Xbox360, Sony are only in their second, so it goes without saying that Microsoft delivered a lot of their big games (most of which were excellent, only really Blue Dragon disappointed). Where were Sony whilst Microsoft unloaded a lot of its big guns? They answered with 1 AAA title, Uncharted.
From the Sony list I don't think FF will arrive in 2008, MGS4, for me, doesn't look great and the previous 2 iterations have failed in comparison to the masterful genius that was MGS(1). Gran Turismo 5 will be great as GT5P was, so I expect more of that. Killzone 2 is the followup to possibly the biggest disappointment to ever hit the PS2. Resistance: FOM 2 looks to be a very good game etc...
Whilst I think the PS3 has some very strong titles, for me that's the case, they are only strong titles, I don't get excited about them in the same way I do with Project Gotham Racing or Mass Effect (or Alan Wake obviously). My most anticipated games for 2008 were Alan Wake, Burnout Paradise and Grand Theft Auto 4.
The 2008 list for the PS3, for me doesn't excite as much as I hoped, but I'm sure I'll end up buying them all anyway.
And there you are, lowering yourself to comments regarding RRoD issues, sad.
) just based on my own opinion/exprience.
Wheres the comparison between previous titles??
