While the budget-priced Wii has been outselling both PS3 and Xbox 360 since its release, the latter two have been duking it out for the number two spot aggressively in 2008, with Ad Age proclaiming that Sony may "be finally turning the corner" with PlayStation 3.
NPD analyst Anita Frazier says that regardless of how it may seem at the moment, the next-gen race is far from over.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
I don't think its too late for the PS3.
Both consoles are gonna sell a lot and produce many good games.
Of course it's not too late. I am Justice! There are so many rotten things in the world today. And I'm here to fix it.
Because those idiots shot themselves in the foot. This gen is turning out to basicly be a price war between PS3 and XBOX 360, because they are basicly the same product.
And Sony right away put themselves out by $200 dollars, they have fought but this still haunts them today. XBOX 360 is getting ready for another price drop, and it's gonns start smacking the PS3 again.
Poor PS3. Bet you if they could do it over again, they would of not DARED priced the PS3 at $600 at luanch. And they wouldn't of not DARED with Blu ray. Even they know it's a bust now.
Sony knows what's going on, but there crappy decisions are still costing them. I'm sure they regret it so bad.
Poor Xbots
Poor Xbots, by the end of next year for the PS3, PS3 owners will have GOW3, FF13, FF13 Verses, GT5, Killzone 2, Resistance 2, Socom Confrontation, LittleBigPlant, HOME, White Knight Chronicles, Heavy Rain, Uncharted 2, Infamous, L.A. Noire, and there is a whole bunch more. Poor Xbots, the PS3 is only messing around at this point.
Poor Xbots
The PS3 is only in its second year and going strong! Anyone that says the war is over for any console is nothing more than a blind fanboy. Each console has a great chance of jumping up in sales, but I would dare to say the PS3 still has the most untapped potential and definitely more highly anticipated titles on the way in the future. We will have to wait and see what happens.
