   I didn't even know Square announced that FFXIII wasn't coming out until   
   2008, that's a pretty big blow to Sony. On their latest earnings report, MGS   
   4 was listed as coming out during the 4th quarter, which means it too   
   conceivably could be pushed back to March 2008. All they'll say about that   
   one is "2007" but nothing more specific.   
      
   I really wonder about PS3 exclusives by 2008 though. Don't most games have   
   development times sufficiently long enough that to get out in 2008 we most   
   likely would have had to hear about them by now? I mean there are games I   
   heard about beginning development in 2006 that aren't due until 2008. You'd   
   think that we'd have to at least heard something about whatever exclusives   
   Sony is developing if they're due in 2008.
