We also know that Infamous will be out as well as the new Halo expansion. Most likely White Knight Chronicles will be out, but that is not set in stone. We also know ninja blade, that game by from software, for the 360, oh and The new Ratchet And Clank.
H.Cornerstone said:
Good points.
So:
PS3:
Killzone 2
Infamous
Ratchet & Clank something or other.
X360:
Ninja Blade
Halo 3 expansion of sorts (this is not really a game, but its significant).
Halo Wars.
Maybes:
White Knight outside Japan
I guess after VGAs on Sunday we may know more on God of war 3 and Uncharted 2.

^^^ Definitely Halo Wars. It's coming in February.

AndyD said:
Ohh, yeah, I actually think Halo Wars was just dated as well for April.
If I had to guess, I would say Uncharted 2 will be out this year, God of War III March of 2010 (the two God of War games before hand both released in march as well.)
EDIT: nevermind, someone spoke before me.

They say "tragedy + time = comedy", but the rule doesn't stand up here, that GIF is awful.

I would say Heavy Rain has a 80% of coming out, where as GT 5 is 50/50.

Hmmm.

I know it's still some way off but I'm not worried about Heavy Rain. I think we will see it in '09. I think Uncharted 2 is a shoe-in for '09 too. I have complete faith in ND, they'll have had two years development time and of course they don't have to start from scratch like they did with the first.

I thought 360 had more exclusives than that. Hmph.

I pretty much agree actually
i think 09 will be a very similar outcome as well.

you either include the PC in the comparison, or you allow the PC/console multiplatforms into the discussion. I think they should be in, the only point of a comparison like this is to determine which is best for valid purchasing reasons, so it makes little sense to ring-fence the PC conversions.
Personally I'd even put stuff like Ferrari Challenge in for PS3, it bears fuck all resemblance to the Wii version, and is a genuine reason to look at the platform, which is what the comparison is really all about, fundamentally.

list of Sony games (since I only concern my self with these titles) I'm pretty sure 09 release
-Killzone 2
-WKC (there's no way it took more than 1 year for localization while we already got report that localization is already started)
-Infamous
-Uncharted 2
-Ratchet Future 2 (unanounced, but considering IG's track record, I'm pretty sure it's out in 09)
-Heavy Rain
-Afrika and Aqua (if the rumor that it comes out in USA is true, I'm pretty sure it'll be in 09)
-Fat Princess (it's about damn time we hear more of this)
-Flower (I saw a thread in ps3forum there's a new video, meaning they're going to start resurfacing again, meaning 09 release imo)
-Pixel Junk Dungeons (Pixel Junk games don't really have long development cycle, the release 2 pixel junk game in this year, I fully anticipate Dungeon will be out somewhere in 09)
-Killzone 2
-WKC (there's no way it took more than 1 year for localization while we already got report that localization is already started)

not sure if it can make it in 09 for US version. we barely hear anything about this game

They weren't counting downloadable games, I don't think.
My figures from Gamerankings do.
Another statistic:
if you count ALL 2008 games, exclusive, non-exclusive, downloadable or disc over 75%, the order changes a little:
360: 66
PS3: 55
Wii: 16
That's pretty facking pathetic for Wii. 360 benefits over PS3 with a few more PC ports and XBLA games that make the cut.

Japanese release in February, and it is a SCE-published game, the worst is that it gets released next Fall in the rest of the world.
WKC, now that is the enigma, even if it is also a SCE game.

I still kind of find it hard to justify owning both HD consoles. That probably has a lot to do with the fact that I play most 360 exclusives to death on my mates console (although he won't buy Banjo, plus he just bought a PS3 and is talking of selling his 360, I might end up taking him up on that).
The Wii though... I'll probably wait for Zelda Wii at this point, I already got all the stars on SMG. I'll probably sound like an awful troll for saying this, and I do apologise, I'm really not your average Wii-hater (although that line-up). But when DQX was announced for the Wii, all it did was make me not care about DQX.
Hopefully as we start seeing it I'll build some excitement but I thought Lost Odyssey was too much like a PS2 RPG, what the hell's DQX going to be like! FFXIII or bust for me at this point.
somehow, every thread I read today seems to be made just for the purpose to ban as many people as possible before NPD numbers come out :lol
on topic:
uhm... yeah...
and this:
seriously, is there a reason why they mixed up the review scores from US, UK and AU so much? did they always choose the best one?

in the exclusives list but not in the must buy list makes this whole article worthless to me! >:|

From IGN Australia.Verve said:
"Before we get started, however, a few things you need to know about our system exclusives head-to-head:
* We're using IGN AU review scores wherever they're available. If we didn't review it, we're using the U.S. team's score. And if they didn't review it, the U.K.'s.
* We've set a score of 7.5 out of 10 as the benchmark for inclusion in the feature.
* While this is a console showdown, we're not counting games as exclusives if they're also on PC. Sorry 360 fans Left 4 Dead doesn't count.
* We're only including games available at retail. As mentioned we'll be doing a full showdown between WiiWare, PSN and XBLA in the next day or so."

Man the 360 apparently fails so hard I guess I picked the wrong console to be my primary one. Thankfully the PS3 stands here since summer and this is a great redemption for my investment, I can sleep safe now knowing that it's the year of the PS3 after all.
Which is complete horseshit. 4 of the 10 games on my GOTY top ten list were downloadable, including #1 on the list. (Pixeljunk Monsters + Encore)gofreak said:
I think this is much more representative of reality as far as I'm concerned. 360 and PS3 both have very strong libraries, while the Wii's is pretty poor. It seems like the data for this article was culled in a very specific way to prove a point rather than looking at things from a broader, more honest perspective.

what criteria did you use to generate this? because if you count all games, here's what you get:
360: 182 (metacritic: 212)
PS3: 101 (metacritic: 125)
Wii: 40 (metacritic: 66)
which makes me think that you meant just 2008 games

You'd think that.
They're only measuring only console exclusives so they're excluding games that can...only be played on certain consoles?

You don't need to play dumb. I mean, it's okay to say "I think they should not count games that are also out on PC and I agree with that methodology" but you're clearly aware of why some people think PC/360 games should be counted as 360 console exclusives.
I mean, yes, people did play Mass Effect and Gears of War on PC, but the amount of people who did is an order of magnitude less. When someone says they are a "PS3-only owner" they don't mean that they don't own a PC, they mean that they don't game on their PC.
I don't think it's a stretch to say that the group of people who want to play 360 games, don't buy a 360, and then play those games on the PC are by and large a very small minority compared to the people who want to play 360 games, don't buy a 360, and don't play the 360 games.
It varies from game to game of course--I suspect, for instance, that Gears of War and any hypothetical Halo 3 port would be substantially less PC-tilted than, say, Fallout 3 (I know this is PC/PS3/360), but the general jist is that while the 360 and the PS3 are in direct competition with one another, the same is not true with the 360 and the PC, and that's why people want to include "console exclusives" in with "true exclusives".

Heh.
Why not list the PS3 exclusive Naruto game then ?
There were surprisingly few decent (as per Gamerankings) PC->360 exclusive ports this year. You can count them on one hand. If you add them in it'd bring 360 to 12 retail and 7 XBLA titles, which would still be just shy of the PS3 totals, if one prioritises retail games.
