Yup thats right. That statement is coming from me. I strongly believe that Gears of War 2 will outsell every PS3 game this year; that includes Metal Gear Solid 4, Killzone 2, LittleBig Planet, GT5 and Resistance 2. Gears of War 2 might even be the top selling game of 2008 but its a tough call since it will be coming out so late in 08 and SSBB and GH4 will probably have huge sales as well. However, this changes absolutely nothing for PS3's dominance of 2008.

Let's start off looking at PS3. If you're into awesome games, PS3 is the way to go this year: Metal Gear Solid 4, Killzone 2, Resistance 2, LittleBig Planet, GT5, Haze, and if the rumors turn out true, we might see FFXIII and Crysis on PS3 this year as well. Each of these games is amazing in their own way that completely overshadows Gears of War 2.

Metal Gear Solid 4: do i really need to explain why its better than Gears of War 2?

Killzone 2: Despite what people say, "Killzone 1 sucked!" "Guerilla hasn't proved itself as a developer" "It's going to flop", as far as I see it, it has the same killer system selling formula as Gears of War 1: Sharp graphics, brutal gore with shiny blood, cool physics, large bosses, and a heavy multiplayer focus. What makes Killzone 2 any different than Gears of War 1?

Resistance 2: Winter of 2006, Resistance 1 and Gears of War 1 faced off and at least on Gamespot, Resistance was defeated. This time, things are different. Resistance 2 is not a launch game, Insomniac has mastered development on PS3, and massive improvements to the game. 2 story modes, 8 player coop, 60 player online multiplayer, 3 different character types for coop, slick graphics, and the guarantee of more awesome guns. What are the rumors of what Gears of War 2 is adding to the formula? From what i've read: 4 new guns, destructible enviorments, and 4 player coop. Gears of War 2 suddenly seems really out gunned.

LittleBig Planet: This will probably be PS3's best seller and possibly highest rated game of 08. At every show its been at, its stolen the show. Despite not being a gore-fest like Gears of War, this game will be one of the most liked games of 08.

GT5: The greatest racing sim is back on the PS3. Graphic wise, no other racing game has ever looked even close to this good. Add over 500 cars and car damage* to the formula and its dedicated fanbase, and GT5 is set to take racing game of the year.

FFXIII: If this game comes out in 08, even if just in Japan, PS3 systems sales will explode. Not even Gears 2 will be able to save 360.

So lets look at what PS3 has going into the 2008 holiday season versus what 360 has:

MGS4, KZ2, R2, GT5, LBP, Haze, FFXIII?, Crysis? vs. GeoW2, NG2, Too Human, Halo Wars, Splinter Cell 5, Alan Wake

Just from looking at this you can tell Japan and Europe are PS3 territory in 2008. And as for America, I just dont see NG2, Too Human, Halo Wars, or Alan Wake having the staying power to compete against 3 FPSs (KZ2, R2, Haze), Metal Gear Solid 4, or the huge monster that is LittleBig Planet.

Add all of this info to the 120GB Dualshock 3 $499 PS3 coming out, and you realize that even with Gears of War 2, 360 has no chance. So go ahead and have the best selling game of 2008 360. It wont change the fact that PS3 will still dominate 2008.
