86 games for the 360, 45 for the PS3

Posted by Zonk on from the something-to-look-forward-to-then dept.

MBCook writes "Joystiq has posted lists of 86 Xbox 360 and 45 PS3 games that are expected to be released in 2006. They contain expected games (Halo 3, Killzone), ports (Burnout Revenge, Half-Life 2), sequels (SSX 4, Armored Core 4), and more. As for the Revolution? From the third link: 'For those who are wondering: the Nintendo Revolution list is just 8 titles long right now. Nintendo is being characteristically tight-lipped about their plans for the Revolution.'" The word seems to be that some of the mystery around the Revolution will be revealed at this year's GDC.

    The Revolution might just beat out the ColecoVision this year!

      But they aren't including the fact that not only will the Revo be backwards compatible with the GC, but it will allow you to download and run games from the last 20 years of Nintendos consoles. So long as these games are reasonably priced, under $5, I think that Nintendo will probably have a big advantage over the competitors.

      Yes, cause nothing motivates me to go out and spend a few hundred bucks on a new console like the ability to play games I was bored with and through away 5-10 years ago ;-)

  3. Are all slashdot headlines deceptive? by Ectospheno · · Score: 2, Funny

    As the author of the original article states on the very first line:

    This list shouldn't really be compared to the list of Xbox 360 titles that are to be released in 2006 because the PlayStation 3 isn't out yet and because we still don't know a whole lot about the system or the games that are scheduled for it.

    Now compare that with the headline for this story. I can't wait to see if the dupe headline is any better :)

    are just part of the 2006 EA Sports lineup that the PS3 won't have (the 2007 lineup will be ready when the PS3 is released).

    The PS3 is going to be using games that come on blu-ray disks, wich can hold a lot more data than the DVDs that the X-Box currently uses.

    They can. But what makes you think they will?

    4.7 GB should be enough for anybody!
