Will 2010 Be Sony's Year?

Lewis from TheSixthAxis.com takes an optimistic look at Sony's 2010 lineup.

[PirateThom]

Unlike 2008 and 2009, they'll have some competition, but probably it will still be Sony's year.

IB4: Bubububu the sales

Try playing games.

[GWAVE]

Yeah, 2010 has a lot of big-name games coming out on a lot of platforms, not just the PSP, PS2, and PS3.

Er, wait. What? Did I just throw the PS2 and PSP in there? I guess many people forget that the PS3 isn't Sony's only platform. Yeah, the PS3 is going to have an amazing 2010, but so will Sony's other two platforms, I'm betting.

So, it's a very safe bet to say that 2010 will be Sony's year, not just because of the incredibly strong lineup on the PS3, but also due to the lineups on the PS2 and PSP.

[WildArmed]

lol I start just laughing my ass off when these articles pop up.
Half of the games to be released in '10 havn't been announced yet, and people are already looking at '10 like they have the final list.
Heck '09 isn't over yet.

[Udidntlistenpunk]

The biggest RPG release FINAL FANTASY 13

Also in 2010: FINAL FANTASY 14

The biggest racing game release: Gran Turismo 5

God of war 3
Heavy Rain
The last guardian

And plenty more.

versus one exclusive for the 360 (halo reach)

For sure, 2010 will be another PS3 year.

[deadreckoning666]

Actually thats very hard to say because how do you determine who has the best year?

If were talking sales then if M$ makes a Natal bundle and sells it for $300, Sony won't win saleswise. Sony seems to have the better quality exclusives next year, and thats great. But didn't Sony's have better quality exclusives this year as well?

M$ just had their WORST year ever with the 360 and STILL overcame the PS3 saleswise in the PS3's BEST year. How is 2010 going to be any different? In 2010 M$ actually HAS games...

@above- So ur saying that Halo Reach is the ONLY exclusive coming out on the 360 next year?

Halo Reach
Splinter Cell: Conviction
Mass Effect 2
Crackdown 2
Alan Wake
Fable 3
and possibly L4D3

We all know N4G is biased, but the fact that the guy above me is getting agreed with is just sad. He can't even fanboy right. He didn't even mention Agent, Modnation Racers, The Agency, Free Realms, and possibly Starhawk.

@fucadastates- "and we all now you guys like your dont-think-just-shoot-my-mama- says-i-have-a-big-gun kinda games(HALO and MW2)."

I suggest you read my comment history before putting me in a group. U would have found that I am a proud PS3 only owner and soon to be 360 owner as well. As far as ur sales argument, I live in in the U.S. therefore I only care about U.S sales. How do PS3 sales in Japan or Europe affect my PS3 experience in NA?

[silvacrest]

that all depends how good natal is and what games it brings to table

it hasn't won me over yet

[Ausbo]

i disagree. I think 2008 was very close in games between the ps3 and 360. While the ps3 got 2008 and 2009, it was closer in 2008. You can't say their wasn't competition with gears and fable, because those are major games.

I will give you 2009 though.

2010 will be a strong year for both. But we have to wait and see the quality of the games before we make a judgement

[fucadastates]

at deadreckoning666, worldwide the ps3 outsold the xbox360 in 2009.
the only market i did not "win" was in the us. and we all now you guys like your dont-think-just-shoot-my-mama- says-i-have-a-big-gun kinda games(HALO and MW2).

[Udidntlistenpunk]

This is about exclusives that matter. And in the gaming world, only a handful of titles actually MATTER.

Grand theft auto, Final Fantasy, Gran Turismo, Metal Gear, Halo, Mario, Call of Duty and a few others. These are games that make OR BREAK a console.

To be frank with you, MS only has Halo. Everything else you listed...yea you know, Im sure they are nice games. But they hardly have any impact at all in the greater scheme of things.

Unless, of course, you believe that Alan Wake is a system seller and that Alan Wake is going to be a turning point in the current console war... Get real.

And btw half those titles you mentioned, are not exclusives. Im sure you were told the same thing a hundred times in a week. So you are either incredibly thick or you are living in denial.

[ShiNe-Box-]

Bubububu the sales

[Christopher]

Like all the other years, the gamers will win out more than any single company.

[Dragun619]

There is no doubt that PS3 will definitely have a great 2010.

But Sales wise, I think the PS3 will sell evenly with the 360 considering its cheaper and Gow3/FF13/GT5 releases in the first half. Motion Controls I believe won't do any wii numbers neither will Natal as there both merely just add ons for an experience that u can already play on the Wii & Eyetoy or just using a controller.

[darthv72]

Why is it that each year has to be dubbed "The year of 'insert console of choice'"?

Why can't each year be the year of the gamers? So many great games and if you have all the systems then you aren't missing out on ANYTHING.

Set all preconceived notions aside and get the console you swear you would never get and live life in the middle. Just because you now would be playing on the opposition doesnt mean you turn your back to the other completely.

[ikral]

Sony had good year 2009. It was Sony´s year.

[shazui123]

the PS3 has been outselling the 360 year on year worldwide every year. For the last 6 months it's been beating the 360 by 150,000 units a month. How is the 360 beating it saleswise when every game sells better on it aside MW2 and it sells more worldwide? Because its very close in NA? so what? in europe, japan and other regions the ps3 has constantly raped the 360 in sales.

@ below
GT5 is a HUGE seller though. The franchise has sold 56 million and gt4 sold 13 million. Thats when the ps2 install base was at 30 million. Plus the prologue only sold 2 million. Now think about it, when GT4 was out it sold 13 million, yet the prologue only sold 2, GT5 prologue sold 4.9 million... GT5 will top 10 million worldwide lifetime sales easily.

[RememberThe357]

2010 will be the year of the gamer. Each system is putting out a ton of great looking games. I do think that Sony has the better line up of exclusives though, but still MS is giving you good reasons to own a 360.

@deadreckoning: (lol I always feel like I have to respond to you.) If your going to say that you only care about sales in the US then don't imply that your talking about sales in general.

"M$ just had their WORST year ever with the 360 and STILL overcame the PS3 saleswise in the PS3's BEST year."

There is nothing about that first comment that indicates that you are only talking about the US. Plus, if you want to talk about how a console is doing, don't you need to look at the big picture? Sales in one country or region may be great but in an other not great at all.

[sikbeta]

I don't know WTF a "console Year" means

Seriously, if its only about salez, well is CR@P then

I always thought that when someone talks about a Console year was for the line-up of games knowing that is the more important thing about gaming

This is Sony's Year cuz of the HUGE line-up and next year will be no different, I'll definitely need more money to spend on all the games I want

Gamers FTW!!!

[Danja]

Next Year will be the year of Broke Gamers who have to buy all the awesome games coming out on all 3 consoles.....

Get over it all 3 consoles have a great line up next year

[CrazzyMan]

But in term of sales, it will take sometime, before PS3 will be able to outsell Wii most of time during the year.

Though, of`course after GT5, GoW3, FFXIII, AGENT and other games releases, PS3 will have a better chance.

[IdleLeeSiuLung]

Sony's line up sounds really good, but then next year we hear about almost the same games with some newly announced games far into the future. Yep, the list hardly changed for the new year and we get next year is Sony's year again.

Among other games, I have been hearing about GoW3 and GT5 for years now! That is why I always take a Sony's list of exclusives with a grain of salt until a date or even a time frame is announced.

[Jinxstar]

Deadreckoning, dragun and anyone else who is confused about exclusives as well.

Please refer to my blog on exclusives.

http://n4g.com/up/16238/Blo...

[PirateThom]

Why did everyone completely ignore that I wasn't talking about sales?

:-/

[peowpeow]

Above everything, both Sony and Microsoft have great games next year and I recommend single-console owners to buy whatever it is you don't have, it'll be worth it!

[shawnsl65]

The only thing i'm sure is that GT5 and FFXIII will be sold in the millions the first week. NO BS EITHER!

2010 = Year of Great GAMES!

Just check out the lineup coming out for all the systems *drools*

[Kevin ButIer]

At the end...

Ill have an orgasm after playing GOW3

iuuu

[gaffyh]

The thing I like about this list is that most of the games are unique, and there is not much like them on other platforms:

-M.A.G. - 256 multiplayer only on PS3 (although I don't like this game)
-White Knight Chronicles - The first big next-gen RPG for PS3
-God of War 3 - One of (if not the) best hack n slash series available
-Gran Turismo 5 - The best driving simulator, includes Nascar and WRC!
-ModNation Racers - Kart racer with track creation, LBP + racing = Win
-Heavy Rain - Nothing like it on any other platform this gen!
-The Last Guardian - Nothing like it on any other platform this gen! GOTY 2010 most likely
-Final Fantasy Versus XIII - Dark RPG for Nomura fans
-3D Dot Heroes - Could be coming to 360, but 3D Zelda clone FTW
-Final Fantasy XIV, The Agency, DC Universe Online, Free Realms - Don' care about MMORPGs tbh, but for those that do, there's a lot!
-Yakuza 3&4 - Play the Japanese demo, it's awesome.

[Bungie]

Yeah Sony could easily win

I can't think of other games selling more than GT5 and GOW 3

[Xi]

FF13, COD7(or w/e), madden, and halo reach?

[Danja]

GOW isnt a huge seller to be honest it will do around 2-3 million worlwide

[IdleLeeSiuLung]

Don't get me wrong, it looks like an amazing game. I'm in fact looking forward to play the remake of GoW 1&2, but if anything KZ2 should have sold insane numbers.

Shooters just have a huge market in the US and sells very well in Europe. Games like Ninja Gaiden, Bayonetta and GoW don't sell as well.

Shooters in the US.
Racing in Europe.
JRPGs in Japan. (lol, unless you are Microsoft)

Everything else is peanuts in market size!

[Menech]

Bungie is clearly taking the piss, He knows Reach will outsell GT5 and GOW3 combined. I know GT series is a big seller but honestly with the current PS3 installer base I just don't see it. Even though GT has sold ton's of games on past gen systems I just don't see it having the attract rate of halo.

And GOW3 doesn't even count if am honest it didn't sell at all on the PS2 if you consider how many PS2's where around at the time. It's attract rate was terrible I don't even see it doing 2 mill to be honest.

Of course to gamers sales don't matter but when it comes to software sales which to be honest is what matters for Sony and Microsoft I see the 360 taking 2010. With the relaunch of the 360 to Sony really has got there work cut off for them.

I know am gona get disagrees for this but hey its N4G a Sony fanboy haven.

[MaximusPrime]

Sony won this year and with promising lineup, more new PS3 owners, 2010 will be sony's year.

[happyface]

lol no

[mylesbarfed]

Yeah, probably, but things aren't going to be so bad on the 360 side either :) i'm so excited for 2010, gaming-wise.

[unrealgamer58]

but teh halo reach 0wnz alLS!!!1!!!11!!
LOL

[stb]

i starting to hate these pipors trying to make a list full of exclusive sht and state that it is exclusive as well...lol

while i understand for those who dont kno(guess there are some)

Exclusive(adjetive) is: excluding or having power to exclude b : limiting or limited to possession, control, or use by a single individual or group.

so concording to this

@ X ziyad X

To be honest
its xbox year
but i think 2010 xbox year
bucz it have huge line-up :

Halo reach-exclusive
Fable 3-exclusive
SC:C dont get what is this game here...flop lol
Alan wake- NOT exclusive, also pc
mass effect 2- NOT exclusive
Crackdown 2 Exclusive
maybe - Natal - well exclusive
PGR 5 as well exclusive
and Cod MW2 DLC .. yes i now its Exclusive time .. but maybe its come out in PS3 2011(whatever)
Half life 2 : episode 3(in ps3 also)
and RPG from Mistwalker...who cares.
and evrey year Rare dev 2 game remake AAA >>>>>>LOL

Sony line-up :

MAG. exclusive
GOW3. exclusive
Heavy rain. exclusive
GT5 ...as well
The Last Guardian... as well
what you lacked

Modnattion
FFxiii(lol if u mention these than i will say ps version has the best experience in this game.
FF v xiii
killzone 3
resistance 3

and so so so so on...that i dont want to repeat it again, around 15 or more exclusive as well, so lack it off dud, sony years is 2010 as well, but microsht has some bullet there as well.

[GameOn]

They aren't exclusives but you cant play them on the PS3. which means they strengthen the 360 line-up against PS3's.
It's going to be a close year I think.

[Xi]

This year is going to be a whole other show.

Unless sony's motion controller can garner as much attention as natal I don't see sony pulling out ahead this year. And with one of the largest, if not the largest game being a multiplatform release (FF13) it'll be hard for sony to make up an exclusive to fill it's place.

Exclusives game wise it's going to be close but again I see the 360 with a stronger lineup, even without Halo Reach.

[GWAVE]

Two of the largest franchises in the gaming industry are releasing a game exclusive to the PS3 platform: God of War and Gran Turismo. I agree that FF13 is going to be a big game but you're fooling yourself if you think FF13 is going to sell poorly on the PS3 just because it's a multiplatform game.

Edit: since you talked about doubting that Sony would "pull ahead", I assumed you were talking about sales. And the Splinter Cell series has been mediocre this gen so far. I'm not saying Conviction will be bad, but the series hasn't been AAA for a while now. And Halo: Reach....okay, it may appeal to Halo fans, but I have huge doubts it will break any grounds or impress any non-Halo gamers.

Edit:Edit: Splinter Cell is medicore by today's standards, and the series hasn't had a game in quite some time. I'm sure I'm not the only one who remembers the multiple 9/10 scores Perfect Dark: Zero received, yet if we look back, did it deserve those scores? Yeah right...

[Xi]

splintercell conviction and halo reach are also 2 of gaming's largest franchises releasing exclusively on the 360. You have a moot point.

I'm not saying anything about sales, I'm talking purely about the quantity of quality titles.

Edit: your opinion on the series thus far is not in tandem with the rest of gamers out there.

some of the awards garnered by the latest splintercell:

* Received IGN's award for Best Xbox Action Game of 2006[3]
* Received IGN's award for "Best Original Score of 2006" for the Xbox 360[4]
* Nominated by the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences for "Best Action/Adventure Game", "Best Male Performance", "Best Sound Design" and "Best Original Music" of 2006[5]
* Won TeamXbox's "Best Action Game" and "Game of the Year" for the Xbox version.[6]
* Won GameSpy's "Game of the Year" and "Best Action Game" for the Xbox version.[7]
* Won Official Xbox Magazine's Action-Adventure Game of the Year - February 2007
* Won Official Xbox Magazine's Co-op Game of the Year - February 2007

to me that seems more then 'mediocre'.

As for your halo comments, the exact same could be said for GT and GOW. Remember that the sales for GT are so high because it was packaged with the ps2 slim and that gow sold what? ~3-5 million on a console with an install base of 120 million. Honestly, what are you trying to prove here?

[silvacrest]

isnt splinter cell multiplat?

forgive me if im wrong

[Xi]

and as of right now alan wake is not in development for the pc, so it too is an exclusive too.

it's console exclusive, I wont be able to play it on my ps3 or wii, so that seems pretty exclusive if you ask me.

here are just some of the well known franchises coming for the 360 in 2010:

mech warrior
splinter cell conviction
mass effect 2
fable 3
perfect dark hd
halo reach

that doesn't include games like
alan wake
crackdown 2
venetica
metro 2033
and project natal

I don't understand how gamers can even argue this.

[madmonkey0]

splinter cell conviction is on teh pc too XI so it is not an xbox exclusive

[bjornbear]

Image Below = You

[madmonkey0]

lol i got disagrees for pointing out that splinter cell is not an xbox 360 exclusive, becuase it is on the PC too. must be some insecure people about.

is it timed exclusive to xbox maybe?

[creeping judas]

2010 YEAR OF THE GAMER!!!!!!!!!

[Somnipotent]

your reasoning doesn't work with "fanboys"... your attempt at logic will be disagreed until infinity. take that rational thinking elsewhere.

[bjornbear]

someone disagree'd with you...=( sad

[Socomer 1979]

Every year is sonys year.
i dont even have to ask.
everything else is last gens left overs

[Anorexorcist]

Well Sony pretty much had 2009 nice and neatly wrapped for themselves. With GOW3, Heavy Rain, and Gran Turismo 5 already slated for within the first QUARTER of 2010, Yeah Sony already has the early assets to easily take 2010 as well.

[HDgamer]

Every year is the year of sony, awesome games that never disappoint it's gamers. Not multiplats that have glitches or hype.

[Digitaldude]

09 was sonys year, I mean Uncharted 2 is taking all GOTY awards and there has been many great games released this year for it.

[Timesplitter14]

DTOP SAYING THAT

[madmonkey0]

i know most people here love sales,

so according to vg chartz the gap is now only 6.2 million.

becuase ps3 has outsold the xbox 360 every year since launch, (according to vgchartz)

so its safe to assume it will continue to do so in 2010

[talltony]

"will 2010 be sony's year again?"

[ps3hasnogamess]

ps3fanboys say this in:

2006,2007,2008,2009....

[Droid Smasha]

if the 360 and wii never existed Sony would have had this gen in the bag

hahahaha losers

[talltony]

Xbox fanboys say this in:

2006

[General Jewels]

This is very simple to answer

Halo Reach.

[The Iron Sheik]

And if heat never existed the 360 might be a reliable console.

[nefertis]

Sony bring the noise in 2010 heavy rain,gow3,wkc,gt5,modnation,re sistance3, the agency,yakuza 3,agent,dc universe.

[TheTeam06]

@ps3hasnogames:

They never said that about 2006 or 2007. They said it about 2008, 2009 and now 2010.... and it's been true every year. A console can have more than one year, you know.

[The Killer]

well, since ps3 already slaughtered and murder-raped 360 since ps3 slim launched then why would the slaughtering and murder-raping will stop??

also the raping started in end of 2007 till mid 2008 until MS made another price cut!

i mean already MS made 3 price cuts since the launch of PS3 slim!!! no company will do that unless the earth under them have shaken!!!!

[MultiConsoleGamer]

This site seems to post a lot of fan bait bullshit. If you love the PS3 then every year is the "year of the ps3."

[MajestieBeast]

Ziyad are you kidding me with that list.

Half life 2:episode 3 yeah its also on pc not exclusive with no mention yet.
Rare where ?
Mass Effect 2 not 360 exclusive.
Splinter cell not exclusive.
Dlc for mw2 lol dont know if i should laugh or cry.

Ps3 exclusives you convienetly missed.

3D dot game heroes
Yakuza 3
WKC

All those games except for last guardian are released in Q1,Q2 of 2010
with no mention of games to come in Q3,Q4 i doubt sony wont have any games for the fall.

[Pennywise]

Sorry for your bad english? You should apologize for your piss poor list.

The Agency, Agency, DC online, WKC, Yakuza, 3D dot - Just to name a COUPLE.

And since you are just pulling projects out of thin air(RARE - AAA - LOL)- Lets talk about Jaffe's game... Warhawk devs game... Insomniac's game.

You lose. Let's wait until December next year like we have done this year.

I bet you are the type of person to claim '09 was MS's year? Love to hear back on you about that kid.

[JonnyBigBoss]

Undoubtedly.

[silvacrest]

sony definatly have Q1 of 2010 locked down, the rest of the year looks to be a challenge

[Pootangpie]

I don't know what's going to happen in 2010 but just because PS3 outsold 360 for 2 straight months means nothing it's still a 7 million gap like always and that pricecut and redesign has just made sony lose even more money for you big fat information

[madmonkey0]

lol! actually ps3 out sold 360 for 3 years in a row worldwide.check your figures!

the gap is now 6.2million,

[MaximusPrime]

i guess you forgotten that Xbox 360 had a year head start when it launched.

pity

[cliffbo]

it was over an 8 million gap and now it's nearly a 6 million gap. see what's happening there? i just wandered.

the 350 had a 16 month head start in Europe and the PS3 has now outsold it in Europe. see what's happening there?

time to get real

[The real killer]

Dude, are you confuse.

SC:C PC/360 Multi
Alan wake PC/360 Multi
mass effect 2 PC/360 Multi

True 360 exclusive

Halo reach 360

----------------------------- ------------------------------

Most of yout list are also PC games and it's not 360 exclusive anymore, so let me correct you

----------------------------- ------------------------------ - ---

Halo Reach 360
And some of Natal games 360

As you can see, there only 2 real 360 exclusive.

PS3 Real exclusive

MAG PS3
GOW3 PS3
Heavy rain PS3
GT5 PS3
The Last Guardian PS3
ModNation Racers PS3 (PSN)

And believe me there are more comming exclusive to the PS3

"its rellay not pooring
and not so good"

First of all, you have not play the games.
Second, how do you know the games are not so good? you did play the games?

PS3 has far more real eclusive in 2010 than Microsoft real 360 exclusive, that's a fact

[madmonkey0]

you seem to be right

[cliffbo]

well this year was and there's more games next year... so of course

[Unicron]

*sigh*

"Year of" is a buzz term with no actual definition. Give me a definition, and I still wont' care. 2009 was great for gamers. 2010 will also be great for gamers. Go play games. If a title selling 1 more or less copy changes your perceived entertainment value of said game, you have issues.

[jalen247]

Forget this whole this console manufacturers year stuff. All of them have proven that they are here to stay. However, Sony has always been known for having the strongest games in terms of quality and quantity. 2010 will be no different being that Sony has more 1st party studios than Nintendo and Microsoft combined.

[The real killer]

"ps3fanboys say this in 2006,2007,2008,2009.... "

Is that so? Can you confirm it, you know PROOF.

[arsenal55]

it was in 2008, it was in 2009... it will be in 2010

[Kevin Butler of Sony]

You got that right my man.

BOOM

[ape007]

sony's year or xbox year

the only thing I know is that 2010 is going to be totally awesome for both console owners

but you got to see the halo reach effect or the gears of war 3 effect

sony also got the sales monster gran turismo

come on guys,don't think like that,we are playing not counting sales :)

[SpartanZero]

Sorry 2008 and 2009 wasn't a win for sony psn sucked you bought no games and 2008 360 got Gears of War 2 and Fable II thats an instant win for the 360. You fail.

[Scotty056]

Hahahaha what an idiot.
Did you forget about Uncharted 2? Ratchet and Clank? etc etc

So wipe your tears and shut up bot.

[2-oj]

HAHAHAHAHA!

[Kevin Butler of Sony]

Listen here little jimmy.. you dont have to act like the 360 is the better console to justify your dads purchase. I had a talk with your mom the other night and she told me she got you a playstation 3 for christmas. you finally have the hottest multimedia/gaming console on the planet.

[GiantEnemyBOT]

How many GOTY awards did Gears and Fable get? 1 combined? How bout MGS4 and LBP? Like, 10? Instant fail.

[PLAYstar]

He can continue to talk about sales all he wants. The Xbox360 exclusive is shrinking every year. Soon after, there won't even be games for him talk about, and sales is totally out of the question..

[kewlkat007]

nothing is FACT here....only numbers are.

You know, "Sony to win (insert year here) is getting old.

Go out and support the fn games and stop yapping about who will win.

[-DeathWraith-]

It's been their year since 2008...

[SpartanZero]

MW2 sold more Uncharted 2 and Ratchet and Clank on the PS3. Nobody cares about U2 or R&C. They would rather buy Halo ODST and Left4Dead2.

[Kevin Butler of Sony]

What was the game of the year in 2009?

uncharted 2?

man i wish i could play mw2 though.. oh wait. it is on the almighty beast known as the playstation 3 isnt it?

[Narutone66]

have no other argument but sale. Well, say good bye to your game "sale" when 2010 comes.

[Socomer 1979]

I remember the ps3 outselling the xbox 360 every year world wide.
even in 2007 at $600 dollars.
its only the 360 fanboys who hold on for dear life with that 1 year headstart and the same install base who rebought another xbox 360 in 6 months of that year.

thats why its just a 6 million gap instead of 20 million sucka.

[aza619]

I don't care
all what I care about is me already enjoying by it

[Meus Renaissance]

2007 - Year of the PS3
2008 - Year of the PS3
2009 - Year of the PS3
2010 - Year of the PS3

Lets be honest here, some people will always feel X year belongs to one group or the other. Here it's just that every year its hyped up to Sony's year. In terms of what? Sales? Game releases?

[r0s3b0wl23]

Yup, just like the year before.

[Kevin Butler of Sony]

And the year before that.

[Wrathman]

Uncharted 2...YAWN...about as exciting as watching my clothes spin in the machine

Killzone 2....YAWN
Resistance 2..lol
Little Big Planet..not bad
Gran turismo..yawn watin on it
GoW...nah thanks
Heavy rain..that'll be a major yawn

all these ps3 exclusives are fantastic to look at but excel at the the boring factor.bar LBP which was a joy.

splinter cell pwns all the above.

[talltony]

yawn All those games rate higher and will rate higher than almost all 360 exclusives

yawn splinter cell conviction isn't even out.

Yawn you fail yawn.

[The Iron Sheik]

If you think those games are boring then perhaps gaming is not the right hobby for you. Maybe bird watching would suit you more? You can spot your first one in my avatar lol.

And Splinter Cell is and always will be a poor man's Metal Gear.

[Wrathman]

you have to wonder why UC2 was rated so high.im guessing its becoz it looks so good.it has excellent voice acting and a great story.but the gameplay is mediocre.

@ironshrek..isnt that your mom i hear shouting at you..yeah i think it is...wots that she is saying..get to bed!!
oh i think you better go before she gets the wooden spoon out for u.

splinter cell is a straight mans metal gear...in reality real men dont wear skin cat suits and have u watch their asses bob up and down as they crawl along the floor.mgs is a gay night club.and snake is the pole dancer.why dont you put a few dollars in his garter belt like a good chap.

besides its a multi-plat.so you FAIL

[talltony]

Stop being stupid. Ps3 has the highest rated games this gen. Get a Trey or get out. Your not proving anything.

[NateNater]

Anyone saying "nah thanks" to GoW has clearly lost it. And you yawn too much :P

[Wrathman]

no 1 knows wot the hell that game is.

[cyborg6971]

wrath I think over 3 million know what game that is keep trying. You bots have nothing so quit now your all looking pathetic.

[BX81]

Imo Sony has a good line up and so does MS the difference that will lean the year towards MS is the fact that MS does not have a really next gen graphics game. With Splinter cell, reach and Alan Wake people will soon have MS on the brain. We know Sony has already done great looking games but everyone will be surprised when MS does as well. Then to cap the holiday season I think Natal will run shop. Everyone knows if there is a company that knows how to amp a product it's MS. Sony had a great year in 2009 but I think MS will own 2010.

[Socomer 1979]

ah yes.
where were you during 2008 - 2009?

[SuperStrokey1123]

Why do they need another year? Sony's games owned the competition this year. Im sure 2010 will bring greater competition though.

[Myth]

Mass Effect 2 is only a timed exclusive

It is coming to PS3, watch and see.

[HOSe]

ya... i dont think we will see the ps4 until 2014

[BulletVortex]

Did i read that right, microsoft has an excellent line up for 2010 aswell. Im sorry but NO. PS3 is exclusive central for 2010 unless they bring out Natal and a bunch of developers bring out games we aint heard of for it at the same time. Halo: Reach aha, thats hilarious, this franchise was the mario of its day, and now its just mario. same thing different year. might aswell be an EA sports title with a year slapped on it. Only game i like the looks of for the Xbox(UNFORTUNATLY) is Alan Wake.

Playstation is the master of console entertainment, always has been, always will be.

The only console to have never changed its namesake :P x

[nefertis]

@BulletVortex nuff said.

[BldyShdw]

Why the hell do we need a debate?

My PS3 and my 360 are happy sitting together but so called "gamers" have to fight over who has more exclusives? You really have that much time.

Go play a **cking game and chill.

[CryWolf]

Their was a draw in 08 between PS3 & 360, the year of 09 is also a Awesome year for Sony exclusive games and making there free Online better, now 2010 will be the year of both consoles exclusive games releasing also what impact will it have in the gaming community.

[CryWolf]

The PS3 is by far the most superior console in graphical, gameplay and noticeable console this Generation Sony have more HD graphical games that xbot can't even handle without getting a RROD, so play beyond with a real Next-Gen console that supports Blu-ray and free Online play beyond.

[BulletVortex]

I dont even NEED to reply banter cause my boys are doin it for me.
Xbox(microsoft)= pay dammit.

Playstation(Sony)= Ummm....

You can pay for some extra stuff if you like, maybe some extra games. but if you want some free demo's, vids, and maybe some free wallpapers, music etc. then go ahead.

Sony- O wait, should we charge...?

Microsoft- Hell yes, every damn cent/pence the bastards.

Sony- Umm, we'll just charge for things that are respectable.

Microsoft- WE WILL CHARGE FOR EVRYTHING EVEN LAWSUITES BECAUSE WE ARE BASTARDS MWAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!

[Ninji]

When is it ever NOT their year? This year is looking like a warm-up compared to next year.

[stb]

there are sSOOO much xbot and microinvecil here. lol

my gud i just cant bear with answering these....lol

better of, but keep it on bot, u make n4g fo me. though ps3 is the winner. someone there said snake was d effin b´tch pole..LOL and i say, all who buy natal are just a bunch of sore b´tches that not only moving on a wii or wand motion controler is enough, if no move the entire ass. LOL U FAIL.

[PrinceJohnny]

Sony Running 2010, Enuff said.

[Sir Ken_Kutaragi]

Will 2010 Be Micro$oft's Year? NO

Will 2011 Be Micro$oft's Year? NO

Will 2012 Be Micro$oft's Year? NO

Will 2013 Be Micro$oft's Year? NO

Will 2014 Be Micro$oft's Year? NO

Will 2015 Be Micro$oft's Year? NO

Will 2016 Be Micro$oft's Year? NO

Will 2017 Be Micro$oft's Year? NO

Will 2018 Be Micro$oft's Year? NO...

Hmm it has NEVER has been a Micro$oft's xBox 360 year!!! ;-D

[Wrathman]

so thats wot crap coming out of a mouth looks like

[HurstDarkStar]

thats what they said last year.....my god Ive gone old

well at least i get god of war 3 that year so win win for me!

[Figboy]

is very subjective, but what is FACT for me, personally, is that my wish list for the PS3 is bigger than my wish list for the 360:

my PS3 wish list:

God of War 3
Yakuza 3
Heavy Rain
The Last Guardian
Mod Nation Racers
Final Fantasy XIV (if it's any good)
White Knight Chronicles (i LOVED the Japanese import, so i'm expecting good things for when i can finally understand what the hell is going on)
DC Universe Online
3D Dot Game Heroes
Resistance 3 (if it hits next year as expected)
Agent (if it hits next year and is any good; it's Rockstar North, so chances are it will be quality)

my wish list for the Xbox 360:

Mass Effect 2
Alan Wake
Crackdown 2
Fable 3

so yeah, for me, personally, next year looks more promising on the PS3.

i know i left out games like Gran Turismo 5, MAG, EyePet, and The Agency on the PS3, because i'm not interested in those (although GT5 is rather tempting).

i know i left out Halo Reach, Splinter Cell: Conviction, and Gears of War 3 (if released next year as expected), because i'm not interested in those franchises either.

[sashimi]

Too many Sony games coming out next year, Planning to pretty much get 11+ games that are exclusives and that's only the announced titles then i add in the multi-platform games and maybe a few unannounced titles and PSN games and that's pretty much the best gaming you can have. Also planning to get the Driving Fore GT along with GT5 so yeah busy gaming year in 2010.

[CrashFallen]

Heavy Rain
God Of War 3
AGENT
Resistance 3
MAG
Gran Turismo 5
The Last Guardian
Twisted Metal
White Kngiht Chronicles

so ya...... nuff said....

[Henry Cain]

As of right now the PS3 is outselling the 360 worldwide. By the end of 2009 the PS3 will end up beating the 360 in sales. The 360 had to drop their price twice this year and ban xbox users just so they could keep up with Sony. Even with doing that the 360 only outsold the PS3 by 100,000 in Nov and those numbers only in NA. Everywhere else the PS3 is mopping the floor with 360.

[taylork37]

By the end of 2009? The 360 is still up by more than 6 millions worldwide... I really have to disagree.

[wingman32x]

lol, this is like the 10th "Will 2010 be the year of the ps3?" article I've seen in the last two weeks. We all know sony has an awesome year ahead of them, no need to write an article about it every 2 days.

[gumgum99]

2009 was a great year for Sony, and I'm sure 2010 will be even better.

[Another One]

Great games on the consoles I own means I will be very happy next year. I don't give a rats ass which console does better because I win no matter what.

[Xbox360_owns]

This by all rights should have been Sony's year but the 360 still outsold the PS3 in hardware, and far and away in software.

Next year looks even better.

Halo Reach
Natal
Alan Wake
ME2

These alone will ensure the Xbox 360 dominates

That being said and being an obvious supporter of the Xbox they need to make Online Gaming FREE!

Peace.

[Karooo]

hardware wise. 9 million 360 is at 7.5 million stfu.

[CryWolf]

Well yea when your xbot console keeps breaking so much thats only way Microshit can get better sales.

[thawind]

ONLY IN THE USA,dumb axx xbots world wide the ps3 rules the xbox in sales.Stop living in xbox american land.

[horndog]

Sony may have won this small battle but it has already lost the war. This gen.

[Xbox360_owns]

XBOX 360 34.53 million
PS3 28.35

You PS3 Fanbots can't get it through your heads, the PS3 is in 3rd and will remain there this gen

kartik21 stfu

[Admiral_Benson]

"XBOX 360 34.53 million
PS3 28.35

You PS3 Fanbots can't get it through your heads, the PS3 is in 3rd and will remain there this gen"

And you 360 fanboys can't get it through your heads that of course the 360 is going to have sold more units so far as it came out A YEAR EARLIER. Not to mention the early RROD debacle and a mill in banned consoles is going to increase numbers aswell (sales for the arcade went through the roof after the ban happened)

Don't be so blind, look at the bigger picture. It's not simply that black and white.

The PS3 has shifted just as many units (if not more) in it's lifetime than the 360 did by the same point in it's lifetime despite a hugely higher price point and a global recession to contend with. You're telling me that if the PS3 was given a clear one year run with no competition it couldn't shift 6 million units worldwide??

Wake up.

[ASSASSYN 36o]

We are due 3 more of these articles.

[strickers]

They should win next year but probably won't.There seem to be a lot of idiots who swallow whatever MS peddle.Like Natal will be good for proper games and you should be excited.I'm yet to see any reason why.All I see is another resource hog that stops MS making proper games in their tiny selection of dev studios.
Idiots!

[creepjack]

Sony's year? LOL, Halo: Reach will outsell all of the other PS3 exclusives probably put together. The PS3 has some nice exclusives, but to act like the 360 has nothing in 2010 is stupid. The 360 has a crap ton of nice exclusives, and one thing that everyone seems to completely underestimate, Natal. Yeah, to the people that doubt it's potential popularity, remember what everyone said about the Wii.

[sashimi]

crap ton? you mean Reach/conviction/ME2/Fable3? wow dude thats a crap ton lawl, i guess it is compared to 2009

[Dorwrath]

Fanboys or what.

The only winner this year is the gamer. End of story.

Oh this site will be great for fanboys too. So many good games coming out on both consoles so there be plenty of hand bag swinging and compensating for something they don't have for months to come.

[Denethor_II]

"Most people that own and Ps3 or a 360, do not own a gaming PC"
@jeffGUNZ, where did you get your research from?

[boss_killa]

every year from now on will be "sony's year".

sony has a ton of 1st party developers working hard on bringing awesome exclusives. and with naughty dog/guerrilla games sharing tech with other 1st party devs the games will just get better.

[NYC_Gamer]

PS3 will own every year because of first party exclusives
