2009 is about to come to an end and what a year it's been! So many great games have been released that I've had to pass on some of them; however, with 2009 nearly over we have to look forward to what's ahead. 2010 is shaping up to be one of the greatest years for gamers, but which is the console to own? Which console will offer the best quality games? Let's find out.
First off, the PS3. The following games are scheduled to release in 2010, exclusive to PS3 (only the major games are listed to keep it short):
God of War III
Gran Turismo 5
The Agent
The Last Guardian
Heavy Rain
MAG
Insomniac Game
The 360 offers:
Halo Reach
Fable III
Crackdown 2
Alan Wake
It is definitely a much more evenly matched fight next year as both consoles have some great games coming; however, it is more than clear that the PS3 has the edge. With genre defining games such as God of War III and Gran Turismo 5, there is no doubt that the PS3 is the console to own. Not to mention all the great mutliplatform games available on both platforms. 2010 is a great year for gamers, especially those with PS3s.
Exit Condition One HD is a remaster of a three-year-old game, available now for SteamVR and Meta Quest players.
NVIDIA has just announced that the Path Tracing Patch for DOOM: The Dark Ages will be released tomorrow, June 18th.
A psychological survival horror game that takes place in 1990s Poland where you play as Tomasz who is searching for his missing friend in the town Jeziorne-Kolonia. A strange substance has taken over the town and is transforming its inhabitants into grotesque monsters.
Mass Effect 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction. Is it because they are on the PC too?
I do agree it's been a great year for the PS3 and hopefully 2010 will be even better.

Ofcourse he didn't mention them.
Saaking is the biggest bias in the history of bias.
EVERYONE knows that he has the PS sign tattooed on his ass.
So, it's not a surprise that he'd go out of his way to give them the edge, just like he always does.
You always do your best to try to make yourself sure that you've made the right choice in buying that.. foreman grill.
It's going to be absolutely great when reality finally hits you in the face and you realize that the money you wasted on that piece of crap could've been much better spent.
Me? I don't need to worry, because for the xbox360, this console war is in the bag and has been for a very long time.
There is NOTHING that Sony can do that'll get them to win.
But, hey, you can always hope right?
You are missing a lot of 360 games.
It would seem that simply ignoring games because they are on PC as well or possibly do not interest you would tend to stack the deck unfairly. There are a multitude of games coming for both platforms that have yet to be announced. I would reserve final judgment for when the cards have been properly dealt.
I know to most it is a matter of "exclusives" which there can be no denying that sony has the lock on those. Considering the sheer number of 1st and 2nd party studios, I expect no less. Yes the 360 is a 3rd party machine and in that there are far more 3rd party companies than there are 1st/2nd parties.
Should it matter if the 360 has more 3rd party support than sony? What about sony having more 1st party support? Honestly, it should just come down to the games and if they interest you. Simply buying into a game because it is exclusive means nothing to me. Exclusivity does have one advantage however. If the game is bad at least it is bad on one system.
Not ALL 1st party games are great just as not all 3rd party games are bad. That is the job of the devs to iron out.
