You might get tired of hearing me say ‘07 was the MOST SUCCESSFUL gaming year in HISTORY with the Xbox360 catering to the hardcore while the Wii stood tall when it came to sales. The PS3 however, was the wall ornament of ‘07. Such a shame.

This year, on the other hand, I’m willing to bet my left nostril that the PS3 WILL make the console war much more interesting. Think of it as the Starcraft of console wars: Zerg (Wii - almost everyone has it), Terran (Xbox 360 - scrappy and cheap) Protoss (PS3, powerful hardware, takes an eternity to get started).

Personally, I believe that ‘08 is going to be the year of the PS3. All the great games that developers promised are coming… the MGS, the GTA, and the DMC (already released). With the blu-ray making the HD look like this generation’s betamax, it’s almost a no-brainer that Sony’s black box will make its presence felt. Fantastic.

Game Trailers posted a great video about what to expect this year. Let it load first, it’s 21 minutes of geek love.

A great point that was raised is "what’s next for the 360?" Personally, I agree with the rationale was behind the question. It IS true that ‘07 was 360’s flagship year and now, what do they do? They seem to have run out of software juice.

‘08 will be the year of exclusives. Ante up.
