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.

    I'd rather have quality than quantity when it comes to console games. I'm pretty sure that FFXII is worth about 20 xbox360 games...

    The number of games expected to be released for one system in 2006 is far greater than the others. Only one system has been released already. Guess which one it is?

    Is this anything other than an obvious function of stage of development? Or just some pro-360 spin?

    One decent game that kept me engrossed for hours and hours than 100+ rubbish games that I wish I'd never spent my money on. I suppose the problem for the developers though is tat they want to make a game that is just good enough to make you want to buy more but not so good that you never want to buy another one. It's a tricky problem and personally I think they have been failing badly for a number of years.

    Fanboy or not, I don't care how many games there are, as long as there is one I want to play. The console I end up buying, will depend on which games tempt me the most.

    The popularity of emulators and roms sites says that there's a lot of people who still aren't bored with old nintendo games.

    My wife could give $0.02 about gaming consoles. Yet she has told me that we are definitely getting a Rev, because she wants to play all the old school games from when she was a kid.

    That, in my mind, is the target audience for this sort of feature.
