Hence why the Xbox is the system to go with for shooters.

But if Halo was so good, wouldn't other console want to get a deal with the developers, like Xbox did with Rockstar?

Of course Sony would love to have Halo on their system, but Microsoft bought Bungie back in 2000.

I disagree [as usual]. If the wii can sign a few shooting deals [Its started with red steel] It will be the console to go for shooters.

I'm talking about the current generation. The Xbox is king of the consoles as far as the amount of FPS games it has, including (some are multi-format):

• Halo
• Halo 2
• Half-Life 2
• Doom 3
• Black
• Project Snowblind
• Unreal Championship
• Far Cry Insticts
• Far Cry Insticts Evolution
• Timesplitters
• Medal Of Honour
• Call of Duty 2: Big Red One
• Pariah
• Area 51
• Chronicles of Riddick
• XIII

Nah, Wii in my opinion will be party games. You know, mario golf and all that jazz. When was the last successful N64 FPS besides Goldeneye for the 64?

The PS3 looks good, but really just a repeat with some new memory and bigger database. They need a much better online system cause when Halo 3 hits the shelf.... all there online games... will be forgotten.

Perfect Dark on the N64 was also an amazing game. Nothing of note on the Gamecube though. I think developers will utilise the Wii though; Call of Duty 3 is already being made for the console as a potential launch title.

I agree :P It looks like Sony is going to be copying the Xbox's functionality though. They've already announced their online system, and there are even rumours of the Xbox's achievements making appearances under the name "Entitlements".
