1 - Thank You
To all the readers, I thank you in advance for reading this article. I would like to present to you some of the Bits Of Information (BOI) that I was not able to include in this article. They are as follow:

BOI 1 ) Tecmo: in March of 1981, a U.S. division was inaugurated as U.S. Tehkan, Inc. A month later, in April of 1981, Tehkan released in Japan its first arcade video game titled Pleiads (which was distributed in America by Centuri). When it was still called Tehkan, the company also released such classic games as Bomb Jack and Tehkan World Cup. On the 8th of January 1986, Tehkan officially changed its name to Tecmo

BOI 2 ) Capcom: was founded in 1979 as Japan Capsule Computers, a company devoted to the manufacturing and distribution of electronic game machines.

I hope everyone enjoyed the Information provided

God Bless You All

Master Samo

1.1 - articles a year and a half too late
why not write why they were exclusive? because of the ps3 install base back then,most of the sequels to those game are ps3 bound,3rd party support like take two,ubisoft sega,EA,konami have confirmed they made most of their money on ps3 last year 2008 so 3rd party support is cemented.

square are the only ones who really have gone to microsofts side this gen (is it coincidence their games and reputation havent been good lately?),as for DLC this week has highlighted thats not as exclusive as gamers thought,still dont care for DLC though i want exclusive games and

ps3 has the best 1st party support i have seen by any gaming company for years and 'TRICO' was the cherry on top for me

360s year was 2007 an amazing year for games but times move on

FUNNIEST THING HHG IS CLAIMING A CONSOLE CAN WIN BY 3RD PARTY SUPPORT THOUGH THAT MEANS BOTH CONSOLES WILL GET THEIR GAMES? GO FIGURE

HHG you fail again

2 - Hey, let me try being a fanboy....just this once to see how well I do.
Square-Enix - None of their current gen games scored well.

Namco Bandai - Tales of Vesperia heading to PS3...the complete version with exclusive content - making the 360 version seem incomplete and leaving 360 owners in the dark.

Ubisoft - Same as Square Enix

Bethesda - All DLC heading to PS3 starting in June. No exclusive support here.

Epic Games - Gears was awesome....but nothing in 2009

Valve - They barely support the 360 versions of their games. These guys are a PC brand =P

Capcom - They're releasing 20-40 PSone classic. Dead Rising 2 and Lost Planet 2 were already confirmed for the PS3.

4 - ehm
wut? .___. does not compute

anyways years already half way through and nothing unbelievable has really come out for the 360 in that time and i don't really think in the next 6 months they will release a bunch of stuff for it at least not huge exclusives that make everyone go ga ga

sure they will release more games and DLC this year but will it really be enough to say that 2009 will be the year of the 360?

7 - Master Samo, I enjoyed the read as well.....good entertainment.
But I have to agree with the main premise of Mr. qface64 (post 4).

2009 is nearly half way completed and--according to METACRITIC-- XBOX has only a total of 2 bonifide AAA titles for the year (STREET FIGHER 4 and GTA 4 The L&D).
The PS3 on the other hand has 4 total AAA titles (SF4, Killzone 2, MLB The Show, and Infamous (officially due in 6 days).

With Sony's strong purported line up, and with very few exclusive games reported due this year on MS's part, I think calling and believing this to be MS's year is a fair stretch. We'll know is about 2 weeks though.

How can 2009 be the year of the 360 when we are half way through and there's been almost no decent games on the 360?

SFIV wasn't that hot; and if a GTA expansion pack is the best we have then something is seriously wrong.

Does 2009 now start when E3 finishes? That's ridiculous. I want to play games all through the year, not just between Sept and Dec.

I've not bought a 360 game since Fable 2 and Gears 2 last year. 2009 is nearly half over.

So what I'm reading in these HHG articles is just a lot of hot air.

I don't care if MS blow the roof off at E3 with announcements. Reducing the gaming year to 3-4 months at the tail end is not fun, and not the way to keep customers interested.
