You guys got the PS3 part wrong there is going to be alot more than 18. Did you guys forget that there is going to 27 playable demos at TGS and like 20 other games that arenat playable. Wow you guys suck and putting out good info.

I read in another site that it's 18 games for PS3 and you should have gotten used t the fact that sony doesnt fulfill most of their promises.

. . . of thoes games will be playable? Guess most of them will just be videos.

» count them once they're there

basically some will be announced and won't make it, and some will make it playable rather than just video (it can happen)...



a fair estimate is 'about 18 to 20'... but isn't that enough!?





tgs is tokyo, and although ms will be all 'we like japan and want to sell 360 there' they know that their best regions are in the west... so the weak showing for 360 will be due to ms et al. not wanting to spend loads of money on a region which doesn't care

its not microsoft who dictates everything, the likes of EA, Activision Etc decide what games they are going to show off, not microsoft. The weak showing is because theres not alot going on in 360 world to actually show off, which is both suprising yet expected, as the time it takes to make a game and costs increases

» Hmmmm

There are already 19 playable PS3 games confirmed to be shown, and 8 other titles that weren't announced, add new announcements and games that will be shown just as trailers and you'll get around 50 for PS3 alone.
