funny looking and sounds funnier everytime he starts talking! me too I taught that somebody else is going to take his place with PR when he was promoted and yet he's still the one spreading all the bull****!! can he or anybody in M$ be HONEST for just one F*****g time? eventhough 2007 was not the year of 360, it was a HUGE one for them and yet they were outsold by both PS3 and not to mention Wii even when they had exclusives like bioshock, Gears, Halo3, and Mass Effect and others like Madden, CoD4, AC and ToB! I'm not talking about PS3 but what do they have this year that are going to beat or even doing as well as their 2007's?

GTAIV was out but from NPD, we knew that it didn't move that many console for both company as many have expected!
NG2? - never meant to be a system seller! not as good as expected either!
too human? - too long in development and people are already too busy with other games to really care about it!
Fable2? - another NOT a system seller!
Gears2? - the only safe bet, but gears1 didn't moved that many console, so, we have to wait!
banjo3 and Viva2? - really??
L4D? - another half-life with zombies, but if people are willing to buy them because it's valve's, maybe...

and with AlanWake, Halo wars and SC:conviction all delayed to next year, 2008 is never meant to be 360's from the start and no doubt about it! yeah, there will be multiplat games but is not going to help much! so, for shane and aaron - STFU already!! you better work harder to supply more good exclusives onstead of spreading BS like this!!

The lineup for 2008 may not be stronger, but it certainly is more varied. 2007 had some stellar titles (GH3, Rock Band, Halo 3, Bioshock, COD 4, Mass Effect among them).

But '08 isn't anything to sneeze at... There doesn't appear to be that great FPS like there was with H3 and COD4, but Gears 2 and Fable 2 should anchor a decent lineup that includes more family friendly titles such as Banjo and the next installment of Viva Pinata, while 3rd parties should prove successful with the next Guitar Hero and Tomb Raider leading the pack.

Does it look like one or two titles will rule the roost, as they did in 2007? Maybe Gears... but other than that, I think the strength of the variation and the wider array of the titles will prove a strong holiday showing.

Of course, I also think that if MSFT wants to drive home this selection during the holidays, they ought to really cut deep into the pricing (say $199 for a Core, $249 for a Premium and $299 for an Elite). That would put some SERIOUS pressure on PS3.

Titles + big price differential (especially in this economic situation) = hold off PS3 for one more year. :-)

Yes they had those games and were still outsold worldwide by the Wii and the PS3. If they had those games and couldn't win then only an idiot or a mouthpiece like Kim would think they are going to win this year.

When I saw his face before reading the headline I thought he was going to try to make another attempted at consolidating the xbox 360's momentum by having a headline saying:

Shane Kim: MGS4 is not a system seller.

Shane Kim: MGS4 was overhyped and it underdelivered

Shane Kim: MGS4 is not a real franchise.

Shane Kim: Me and the other MS guy (the fat bald one) just won't shut up and we only run our mouths when we know PS3 is starting to win.

Sorry but IMO i think this years line up definatly is on par or even to say better than last years..

Already recieving 2 games which were fantastic and IMO very underrated. Lost Odyysey and Ninja Gaiden 2.. We are still this year Banjo/GeoW2/Fable2/Left4Dead/V iva2/Infinate Undiscovery/Last remenant/Age of Conan and what i realy cant wait for Too Human(Possible Sleeper for GOTY)... Is Star Ocean 4 coming this year?

So yes last year was fantastic but to say that this year is nothing compared to it is nothing but fanboyish. I realy wish more of the ps3 fans on this site let go of there 360hate crack pipes. Btw i heard today from a friend at work that MGS4 is fantastic. Seems i might just have to purchase a PS3 soon, but for right now i am LOVING NG2....
