Throughout most of last year you probably read "2008 is the Year of the PlayStation 3" across every fan-boy blog and PlayStation 3 centric website. And, let's be frank, the PS3 had a decent year, but I'd hardly call it the Year of the PS3. There were a few really good exclusives: LittleBigPlanet (my favorite game right now), Metal Gear Solid 4 (I also own this one), and Resistance 2 (Didn't care for this one as much). I'll admit, having all three of the next generation consoles, until recently I played the XBox 360 most of the time; including Gears of War 2, Left 4 Dead, and Fable 2. However, examining the software lineup for 2009, I've become a believer. The game exclusives I have my eye on are: KillZone 2, InFamous, Quantum Theory, Heavy Rain, DC Universe Online, God of War 3, and Uncharted 2. Consider the embedded video of KillZone 2 from CES 2009:
KillZone 2 will absolutely set the bar for all first person shooters that follow it, and could easily snag Game of the Year for 2009.
Take a look at the video below, which showcases some of the PlayStation 3 2009 Exclusives:
In stark contrast, Microsoft doesn't seem to have the same weight in terms of exclusives for 2009. Microsoft's big exclusives for 2009 are Halo Wars and Halo ODST... Sorry, MS that just won't cut it.
