2008 is starting to unfold into a year of gaming disappointment. First, Haze sucked. Then we find out that no Final Fantasy game will hit the PS3 for a long time. Even worse, Square, Atlus, and Namco have all turned traitor, and they are releasing the RPGS on other consoles.
Then the delays. August was set to be a killer month with Saints Row 2 and Brothers in Arms. These games got pushed back. The only title to get excited about this month is Mercenaries 2. Then we get infinite delays. I almost wished the gaming press would stop giving us previews. I'm tired of the letdown. I found out that Mafia 2, Ghostbusters, and Brutal Legend no longer have a release date. These games may get canned altogether.
The list of AAA titles appears to be whittling down. :(

Haze did not suck imo, I enjoyed the game. We all knew that Final Fantasy XIII wouldn't hit the PS3 till 2009 so no disappointment there. How did Atlus betray Sony? The only games they've released on the 360 are mediocre at best. We're still getting the Shin Megami Tensei exclusive. Square is supporting each platform equally, Infinite Undiscovery is exclusive because Microsoft paid for it. The Last Remnant is timed and Star Ocean 4 will mostly be timed also. While the PS3 is getting Final Fantasy XIII Versus exclusively. Fair trade I would say.
Sure, Namco released Ace Combat 6 and Tales of Vesperia exclusively on the 360 (for now at least), I'll be damned if we don't see future Ace Combat titles on the PS3. If you remember awhile back, there was scans for a Tales PS3 game from Namco so expect announcement in TGS. Don't forget we're getting Eternal Sonata from Namco this fall.
Saints Row 2 and Brother in Arms were never killer apps so not loss there. We're still getting them this year. Are you forgetting the amount of exclusives we're getting this year?
Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm
Valkyria Chronicles

I'm sure I am forgetting some.
