Gears matters. Nothing else does.
The most obvious ones are Uncharted 2 and inFAMOUS, but there are quite a few.Quote:

I hope they don't seriously believe this. MS will eat them if Sony holds out on a console that long.
How did the guy doing the interview not Lawl in Reeve's face when he said this?Quote:
You talked about people going into stores - I've heard people in GAME say, "But this one's got Home. I've heard of that, I'll buy that." I don't know how many people buy PS3 because of Home, but I'd like to think it's a lot.
How do you figure? MS has no incentive to start a new generation, and Sony has the more powerful console. Microsoft is in an interesting position. They have an advantage, but it's a grenade they better throw before it explodes in their hand. The 360's exclusives were a complete embarrassment in 2008, and 2009 looks worse.Quote:

10 year plan doesn't mean 'no system for 10 years'. The PS2 has a 10 year plan, but the PS3 is already here.
Still, however, I don't think we'll see new consoles for a while. People are spending a lot of money making games for the real systems as it is. I don't think any publisher would be too thrilled to start again in 2 years and make the costs go that much higher. Especially since most poeple are content buying shovelware for a system not much more advanced than a PS2.
eh, i don't read the word cycle that way, but maybe you're right.
How so? 360 has the single best exclusive in 2008 in Gears 2 (even though I agree it is not as good as the first after extensive play). Banjo & Kazooie is a solid platformer and some prefer it over LBP (but LBP has better legs with all the DLC). I wasn't crazy about Fable 2 but that's still a good action RPG. There are also Geometry Wars RE2, Ninja Gaiden 2 and Viva Pinata 2, that's a pretty solid exclusive lineup. You might prefer PS3's (MGS4, LBP, Disgaea 3, Valkyria Profile, MLB 08, Resistance 2) but it is certainly not an embarrassment.Quote:
