All exclusive, all available for the holidays, all AAA. Do you guys think these three games will put microsoft back on top after the holidays?

To reiterate:Bioshock is a "system seller" because it is a system exclusive.

IMO all 3 are better than any other game coming out for anything coming out this year. Don't know about ME yet, but if it's as good as advertised, wow. By far the best 3 of any console this year.

Eh, the problem is parents won't be buying young children any of these. Also, these are probably the kind of games that hardcore gamers would play, in which case most people would have already bought for themselves. I'd imagine the Wii will probably be much more successful this holiday with titles like SMG and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I just can't see any of these really being holidy system sellers among a majority of people looking for a new game system, but for people buying gifts for people 17+, then yeah, maybe.

Bioshock + Halo 3 + Mass Effect + PGR 4 = PS3 death in 2007 for certain! Imo the Wii will have a very successful holidays as well. Honestly, I dont think MS views the Wii as its main competition. At $250, odds are very high that most gamers own both a Wii and a 360. They compliment each other quite nicely. Sony is the evil one here and is the one that MS views as competiton as the two consoles share many similar characteristics!

Pretty much. The Wii may have Brawl, Galaxy, and MP3, but after that the list drops off big time. Even after Halo 3, Bioshock, and Mass Effect, the 360 still has PGR4, COD4, Orange Box, and Assasin's Creed. They may not all be exclusive, but they're great additions nonetheless.

I don't think bioshock or mass effect are system sellers. they're dandy games, but the people that wanted them most likely already have the systems.

Halo 3 is.

I know plenty of people who are buying 360s just for Halo 3.It it isn't a system seller, nothing is.

Not for me. All I see is shooter, shooter, and RPG with shooting elements. The best holiday line up belongs to the DS.

I don't think Bioshock or Mass Effect is on the general public's radar at all. Sure, they will probably be incredible games, but everyone I talk to has never even heard of them. Only Halo 3 is a genuine system seller for the masses of those three, the other two have a more hardcore appeal to them.

I'm thinking more Mario Galaxy and Brawl. People won't get a kid Halo 3, Mass Effect, or Bioshock. Galaxy and Brawl will sell to all ages.

Well, Bioshock and Halo has proved themselves. Now only for Mass Effect to do so. But with MS exclusives of late (or timed exclusives), it's probably surefire.

The 360 has been kicking ass all year and it doesn't look like they are slowing down. It may not get the respect that the Japanese systems get but as far as quality software goes it's got it in spades. And this Winter looks to be the best yet.

Well not really the PC have the best games this holiday season.

World in Conflict 9.5

Crysis

Ureal

The Witcher

Blackshark

Bioshock

Gears of War

HL2 Orange

Quake Wars

London Hellgate

The only real reason PC dosent get the hype like Halo is because these games are really only know by the PC gamers so if all these games are promoted like Halo, Mass Effect which it will be, and like Bioshock was you would see the sales of the 360 and PS3 drop.

i've said this elsewhere and i'll say it again: MS will sell 3 million+ consoles this holiday season.

last year the 360 did 1.5 million in holiday sales with GEoW being the biggest title. this year, it's halo friggin' 3. halo is not a new IP, it is an established franchise and THE biggest franchise on the 360. the hype/marketing machine is in overdrive right now, there is no way halo 3 won't sell more systems than GEoW.

take that together with the fact that ME, a serious AAA contender (from bioware no less), is also coming out in november, and the fact that neither sony nor nintendo have anything worth noting coming out (don't kid yourselves they've got nothing that will surpass halo), MS has 3 million+ on lock, easily.

to address many peoples complains.....1st of all- PS3 has had two "AAA" games come out so far and they dont look like they are gonna end up as AAA games. 360 has had bioshock and has halo 3. 2nd, World in Conflict is coming to a 360 near all of us very soon and bioshock may not be exclusive but still isnt on the ps3. 3rd - people say Mass Effect wont sell and that PGR4 is garbage and Ace Combat 6 is terrible, then you havent played any of these games before and i can promise a 8.0+ on each of them. 360 >>> PS3 who is flailing like a fish out of water.

If I had 10.00 for every time some one said that about a PS3 game then I would have enough money to buy a PS3.
