Anyone who has seen the MGS4 gameplay demo that it has the most impressive gameplay of any shooter/tactical shooter/stealth game ever.

No, I haven't forgotten about Metal Gear or Final Fantasy, and I do fully recognize the effect that these titles, especially Final Fantasy, will have on console sales. In fact, the release of FFX so many years ago was the determinant in when I would purchase a PS2. The big time, high profile PS3 games are coming out next year, while 360 just released one of their high profile titles, Bioshock, are preparing to release an extremely high profile title, Halo 3, and still have Ace Combat and Mass Effect before year end. Point is, Xbox is about to receive a pretty major boost, at a time when PS3 is still kind of lacking in high profile, high quality exclusives. It is looking like in terms of games, 2008 is the year of PS3, while 2007 has clearly been the year of 360, while Wii is still just sort of doing its own thing.
