Microsoft have recently said they have a few unannounced secrets up their sleeves for next  year which include core, casual and Kinect titles. But Sony's already announced line up for 2011 is pretty ridiculous, considering none of them get delayed:  
 
Mass Effect 2 - January
LittleBigPlanet 2  - January
Killzone 3 - February 
Motorstorm Apocalypse  - Spring 
Yakuza 4 - Spring?
Socom 4: Special Forces -Spring?
Ico/Shadow of the Colossus Collection - Spring  
Ratchet and Clank: All4One - TBD 2011
Twisted Metal - Spring/Fall?
inFamous 2 - Sometime 2011
Resistance 3 - September
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception - November   
Journey - TBD 2011
Pixel Junk Shooter 2 - TBD 2011

 Didn't include 'The Last Guardian' because that does not have an official release window yet and it would be stupid if Sony released that game in the highly clustered coming year. Microsoft have Gears of War 3 and Forza 4 as their big fall releases, but I bet Rare or 343 Industries might reveal something. I have no idea what Nintendo have since they been silent but considering they had a pretty good year for the Wii, my guess is that they will probably focus on the 3DS next year. But dude, all that investment into independent studios has really paid off for Sony, especially in the coming year.

Not all those games will even make it past 90% on gamerankings. We know LBP 2, killzone 3 and uncharted 2 will be, that's given. I'm more interested in 3rd party games for 2011.

4 shooters, 2 crappy open world games, and little big planet...I dunno I'm kinda tired of this shit.
Fill that list with obscure budget titles that have nothing to do with shooting or open worlding and I'd say...Maybe?

@HitmanAgent47: True, but I think its highly likely most of them will get at least above the 80 percent average if not 90, and that's pretty darn awesome. Some of the most memorable videogames in the past haven't reached an 90 or above metacritic, but many still consider them classics. Though, yeah there are a tone of highly anticipated 3rd party titles coming out next year, Deus Ex and Arkham City just being a few to label.

@keyhunter: Huh? I get your point about there not being a more abstract list of "blockbuster" titles...but how is inFamous 2 crappy when it hasn't even come out yet and thus far looks pretty darn awesome. I mean, the same can be said for the other platforms....stop being so damn shallow.

A perfect example of an individual who just plain hates all video games. 
 
Infamous was an awesome game and is only looking to be better with the sequel. 
 
Uncharted may be a shooter, but it has so many other elements that to pass it off as a simple shooter would be pretty dumb. 
 
Either way I'm looking forward to a few of those games on that list.

All sequels. Nothing interesting about that and Uncharted 3 is the only one I'm vaguely excited about. Infamous 3 is one I'll play but not particularly bothered if it gets pushed. Killzone and Resistance are interchangeable and generic FPS.
 
The games I'm most excited about are not PS3 exclusives.

Let's just say a good year for gaming in general.  If you can't find something this coming year to enjoy then you're not much of a gamer.

This.   
It's an impressive line up, but we go through the same song and dance every year.  

Sony have a bunch of announced games coming out..  A good chunk of them get delayed into next year, everyone's disappointed..  But by Christmas everyone will be claiming "2012, year of the PS3!". 
Also, I'd expect Microsoft to have a few surprises (we basically know that a remake of the original Halo is coming) and Nintendo have the launch of the 3DS, no doubt with some really crazy games.

It'll never be the year of the PS3.  Have you seen the sales numbers from Nov?  The toliets at Sony will be working over time. 
 
A $200 PS3 is needed ASAP for any hope.

Do people really love Resistance as a franchise ?  No offense but the series hasn't exactly wowed me. Don't get me wrong I think they are solid games but I would rather Insomniac make a new Ratchet and Clank game without a 4-player co-op gimmick (which I believe might come out this year)  or an entirely new game. 
 
As an owner of both a PS3 and 360 I love it when PS3 has a shitload of exclusive titles because most multi-platform games I buy for the 360.  Not bad for what is the last year of gaming before the apocalypse.  I just wish these games would come out earlier next  year so I have more time to play them before 2012.

@WinterSnowblind: Meh....at this point the PS3 and Xbox are so close, theres no real pulling away anymore. Kinect may move some boxes to the "housewife" demographic, but there will be little change in games at this point. Xbox doesn't seem to be fighting hard for the exclusives because the big online shooters ship so many copies for Xbox Live. Ps3 people will say this every year for a while now because of all the BS they had to put up with from XBox fans in the first bit...it's all one big school yard fight 
 
That said i am looking forward to those exclusives, they are my reason for owning a PS3 over the Xbox, especially LBP, Resistance and Uncharted

Do you mean will it have the best games in 2011?  Yeah, I think so.
Are you asking if it will outsell the other consoles?  Nah, probably not.
 
You shouldn't say 'Year of the X' though.  It makes it look like you think the other platforms won't be relevant.

@StefanTheLegend:   Yea, I want 2 of those games.  Infamous, and Uncharted.  Of those 2 I want Infamous more.  Uncharted...I dont know what it is, but something just makes me indifferent to those games.  I get it because its good, not because I like them if that makes sense.

It wouldn't be a proper year if someone didn't make the ol' "Year of the PS3" announcement.

You forgot Team ICO Collection, and honestly, Mass Effect 2: 'Best Edition Besides The PC One' too.

That's because it's where the Live subscription money goes. Sony's game section is on a limited budget with investors and heads that don't believe in putting all their financial eggs in a basket and going wild, like MS have the freedom to do.

You forgot the SOTC and ICO bundle thing. I want that and Uncharted 3. If Infamous 2 does come out next year I'll pick it up. Xbox has Gears 3 though which will be awesome and probably sell as many copies as those 3 games I just listed combined.

Oh, you're one of them. 
 
OT: Lots of good games coming up, but I don't agree with the thread title at all. It suggests that it won't necessarily be 360s year and belittles Sony's previous years. This year has been a great one to own a PS3.

Yeah but if E3 history is any indication, most of Sony's big E3 2011 announcements will be for 2012 and beyond.
 
That's fine with me tho. It's already abundantly clear to me that I'm not gonna have time to play everything 2011 is looking to offer.

Why call people 'fanboys' like it's a bad thing, when you're obviously a fanboy yourself?

Why post irrelevant bullshit?
 
But whatever, I'll humour you, I'm pretty impartial, just talking to the people denying that Sony has a pretty good offering this year. It's fact and you not liking shooters or LBP doesn't make the PS3 shit. Got nothing to do with my personal preference.

@bartok: The first Resistance had potential, especially considering it was a launch title, I mean how many launch titles have ever been at least decent? Resistance 2 was a disappointment, Insomniac have decided to take 3 years development to make R3 freaking awesome. I mean just look at the VGA trailer.

This year of the PS3 topic keeps poping up...every fucking year. Seriously, sony is doing fine. I dont use my ps3 alot yeah, but not because its a bad system. I just dont like the controller very much. There is never going to be a "year of the ps3". Or xbox, or wii. Ugh.
