GamerMetrics has come up with a list of the most anticipated games for the second half of 2007 and the Xbox 360 seems to be winning, game-wise. The top sellers they expect are Halo 3, Madden NFL 08 and Grand Theft Auto IV. Other runner ups include Super Smash Brother Brawl, Guitar Hero III and Half Life 2: The Orange Box.

When looking at the games, Xbox 360 controls most of the games (Halo 3, GTA IV, Mass Effect and more) with the Wii and PS3 only have a few titles that are expected to hit big.

GamerMetrics has compiled the most anticipated games for the second half of 2007 according to online page visits in the US. Topping the list of prospective best sellers is Halo 3, followed by Madden NFL 08 and Grand Theft Auto IV.

Other games such as Guitar Hero III, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and Half-Life 2: The Orange Box are also expected to sell well according to the online interest and purchase intent of said games.

When comparing the lineups of the big three console makers, the report predicts Microsoft's Xbox 360 to have the "best available games" in the latter half of 2007 namely Halo 3, Grand Theft Auto IV, Mass Effect, BioShock, Too Human, and Two Worlds.

Wii and PS3 were both said to have flaws in their respective lineups given a lack of compelling games outside of 2-3 unique titles each according to the data.

    First off they don't control GTA4, since PS3 is also getting it, i find this article out of context, and mostly opinionated.

    I agree with finalblade. GTA4 is coming out for both 360 and PS3, while Madden is coming out for every system imaginable. The majority of the other games mentioned in this article are also multiplatform. I also find it funny that the Wii and PS3 suffer from a lack of compelling games in comparison to 360. I guess these guys must just enjoy shooting things, because thats pretty much all I see in 360's lineup, with maybe the exclusion of Bioware's new game.

    Oh, and I'm pretty sure Too Human was pushed back until next year.

    Exactly.
    Also I'd say that a lot of big names are going out for all the consoles over the next few months, so you it's really just a matter of opinion in which you think the better games are.

    Halo 3 is the only game I can think of for the 360 that's going to receive a mass hype (( that's not including games that are coming out for multi-consoles by the way ^^ ))

    Im not interested in any of those titles, PS3 totally owns the Xbox 360 in about everything.

    Microsoft really needs to quite they're never going to beat Sony, they need more work.

    360 is going to dominate. Once the wii hype dies they will come out on top without a dought.
