Today PS3 exclusive titles like God Of War III, White Knight Chronicles, Heavy Rain and multiplatform titles like BioShock 2, Singularity and Max Payne 3 are now 2010 launch titles.

Despite the software delays Sony still has a strong line-up remaining for the rest of the year, however, just how strong that line-up remains to be is the real question.

To quote: With MAG now speculated to be another PS3 exclusive delay title until Qtr (1) 2010, Sony is definitely losing their dominant edge in 2009 and fast.

On the competitive side of the equation the Xbox 360 has remained even keel so far not losing too many big name title along the way.

With hopefully no software delay updates in the forseeable future Xbox 360 users can still expect exclusive titles in the form of Splinter Cell: Conviction, Shadow Complex, Section 8, HALO 3: ODST, LEFT4DEAD 2, FORZA 3 and the GTA4 DLC entitled Ballard of Gay Tony.

While these are great exclusives, Xbox 360 user can also be excited for a great list of multiplatform titles as well in the form of Assassins Creed 2, DARK VOID and the ever popular FPS Modern Warfare 2 just to name a few.

Despite the incredible start to 2009 with blockbuster exclusives like Killzone 2, MLB 09: The Show and inFAMOUS, it appears as though the playing field has become arguably more even as we look into the latter part of 2009.

With all the software delays a surprising PS3 price drop could give an attractive edge to the remaining PS3 line-up.

Exclusives like Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Demon's Souls, Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack In Time and hopefully Gran Turismo 5 along with some meaty PSN titles show the PS3 is definitely not done raising the roof in 2009.

You can currently import the Japanese version that came out on February 5, 2009 or wait for the North American/European release on October 6, 2009. ;)

Well, maybe Sony will start to push for better execution... It is really tiring to hear release dates, knowing that they will never happen. It is amazing that the SW companies can get away with missing so many commitments. I thought investors would have put the kabosh on this activity long ago (affects profits), but that doesn't appear to be the case.

Oh well, I will try to keep the blinders on and just wait for these games to show up in the store before I get excited....

:rolleyes:
