With the analog TV cut off coming and digital switch people are buying HDTVs this year and PS3 isn't really that expensive anymore now that BD is included. I also think E3 will be telling. We know a lot of titles from Sony coming this year. And plenty of 360 titles. I think the majority of third party titles will be multi platform as the trend is going but MS's first party is relatively small compared to Sony's internal studios. The small amount of Sony games we know about are third party except Infamous, KZ2, LBP, SOCOM, GT5 and Resistance 2. Not counting MGS and I wouldn't count FFXIII since it probably wont see a release till Fall '09. Naughty Dog might have a new release this year. We still have over a dozen Sony first parties working on projects not yet revealed. GDC is coming up were we'll see Gears of War 2 and get a feel for that and others along with a few Sony titles. Either way, who cares, lol. As long as we got games coming out I can't wait. I would say August myself.

But I haven't really heard of anything in the Microsoft camp that is upcoming and exclusive. Gears of war 2 is expected. But I have a feeling it's going to be going up against God of War 3 and Resistance 2. Maybe something will come out of XNA?

Both Microsoft and Sony will have surprises for 2008, but I'm expecting more surprises from Microsoft. Based on the already announced exclusives and '08 features, Sony will slaughter Microsoft, and they know that. That's why I'm expecting a big counter-punch that we haven't seen. They have tons of cash reserves and they are willing to spend what it takes. - I can see PS3 passing 360 and not looking back, but there won't ever be even one fluke month in 2009+ where 360 eeks out a win? Even when Microsoft launches their next mega hyped Halo-style title? That's a bold prediction. Two things:

Most of us here believe it to be something that can happen. I think we run a poll to see which month this is going to occur first. I'm going to predict June. I reason, that with the release of MSG4 and GTA4, These titles should entice many people to finally go NextGen. My second month would be any month that sees Ressitance 2 come out, most likely November. I think this deserves a poll. Most of us here believe it to be something that can happen.
