Xbox is in no need to "redeem" itself commercially. Critically may be a different story. I'm sure all of the core 360 users are just thrilled with the deluge of Kinect shovelware next year. As far as their exclusives go, if the 720 succeeds next gen its NOT going to be because of their exclusives. Certainly not the ones they have now anyway. I'm going to give MS the benefit of the doubt and say they end up buying Crytek. You have Halo, GOW, Crysis, and Forza. A racing game, a sci-fi TPS, and two sci-fi FPSs. You see the redundancy there? Also, once again, Halo is not being developed by Bungie anymore. Its under the control of a new and completely unproved studio. I'm not putting much faith in them.

Sega re-entering the console industry and MS being blacklisted out. Hell even ifMS wasn't blacklisted out, sega re-entering the console game industry would change everything...for me atleast. I could expect them to put out atleast 10 games like Demon's Souls during the generation.

360 is my least favorite current platform, but it has a whole hell of a lot more than just FPS. It has a great library actually, but in my case its just redundant for the most part.

OMG you can't even spell "you're" and you have the nerve to call him an idiot. Also I don't know where you heard 9 million from, PS3 is something like 2.5 million units behind.

Exclusives are becoming a think of the past. I won't be surprised if there's a one-in-all console that will allow you to play all 1st & 3rd party games by 2020. It'll happen, albeit not anytime soon.

Oh god... X360 this gen hit PS3 in the face by providing better/equal quality ( first 2-3 years ) games with almost 200$$ less , "Stole" major PS exclusives , had nice momentums with games as GeoW , mass effect etc ....

And here you are now , talking about "quality" exclusives.....

Man , PS3 is dead last for a reason ... PS3 supposed to catch up X360 on sales since 2008 , we got 2012 and still trying...for a reason!!! Dont you think?

So, lets pretend Gears 1-2-3, Mass Effect 1-2-3, Fable 1-2-3-Journey, Halo 3-Reach, Draco, Ryse, Haunt, Witcher 2, Alan Wake 1-2, Halo CE, Skyrim real playable version, Dust, Steel Batallion, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Tales of Vesperia, Oblivion, Eternal Sonata, Kameo, Banjo, Pinata, Castle Crashers, Limbo, Bastion, Divintiy 2, Torchlight, Forza 4, Last Remannt, Infinite Undiscovery, Star Ocean 4, Gunstringer etc etc dont exist and pretend 360 has no exlusives

Yet, it does have like 10x more exlusives i care about than all other systems combined

and gets 99% of my gaming time, in 2011 i did not play any other system besides a break for Witcher 2 on PC, which i will rebuy in 2012 on 360, every other game i played was on 360 (Dark SOuls, Skyrim, Fable, Bastion, Trenched, Two Worlds 2, Divinity 2, Grey matter, Clash of Heroes, Gears 3, Halo CE, Forza 4, Mr Splosion Man, Rise of Nightmares, Child of Eden, Gunstringer etc)

The 360 is quite dead at the moment.

Microsoft is focusing on the new Xbox. They're going to need a strong launch lineup.

bastion is not first party nor is it exclusive do not besmudge the name of bastion with your lies nearly every game you mentioned was released before 2 years ago Microsoft has since pretty much fired off their entire first party and doesn't give a s*** about exclusivity.

I reckon next-gen Xbox and Sony "heavy-hitter" exclusives will be much alike what the current consoles have (i.e. more Halo/KillZone, Gears of War/Uncharted, Forza/Gran Turismo, ect.).

I'm a little concerned how most of the 360 "exclusives" that were just listed were either 1. Not really exclusive or 2. A bunch of worthless Kinect bull****.

And for the life of me I can't figure out why. RROD, kinnect crap, promoting all this fluff rather than real games, and people keep buying into it. Sony's showing off the greatness of Vita with actual games, and people are "ViTa iS TeH dOoMeD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I just don't get the gaming industry anymore or what gamers want. It just doesn't seem to be about the games anymore as it is about the...I don't know.

Also, what do people have against the move? At least Sony is integrating the move controller into their games unlike microsoft and the kinnect.

Xbox will be fine next gen. MS is learning now that you have to have a first party, and that they have to have creative freedom. They have already started buying and creating studios, which will continue as we near the end of this gen. Not to mention all the deals with 3rd parties that we dont know about yet MS didnt because one of the largest corporations in the world by remaining stagnant. They have innovated and created throughout the years. Yes they make mistakes (like trying to run a gaming business like a software business) but they are learning.

I know this will be ignored by cows, but im sure most people can see that MS went through growing pains this gen. They didnt have this kind of success last gen, and this gen you can see that they ran out of steam (first party wise). Kinect will allow them to make more creative games next gen because the audience is wider.

Playstation can do this because PS1 and 2 were huge hits, and casuals had one also. The brand is well known, so games like LBP can flourish. MS has been trying to shake that "hardcore only" stigma for most of this gen. Kinect is a way for them to do that, so it makes sense why they would take it. Do i agree with it? Hell no, but im a mature adult who can see reality (and business ) for what it is.

If by exclusives you mean:

  • Alan Wake XBLA title
  • ANOTHER Halo game
  • Kinect bullcrap

Then yes, Xbox will redeem itself.

It looks like outside of System Wars, people don't care much about exclusive games. Xbox 360 is receiving the strongest sales out of the three consoles and sales are increasing thanks to great games and its Kinect addition


1.7 million Xbox 360s is almost double the figure achieved by Wii and PlayStation 3.


Xbox 360 sold 1.7 million units during the four week November sales period (October 30 - November 26) in the US,reportsthe NPD Group.

The console recorded a 24 per cent increase over November 2010.

PlayStation 3 achieved a much higher70 per centsales increase over the same period last year, which gives the platform an estimated total of 900,000 units for November 2011 - still a massive 800,000 units shy of the Xbox 360.

The NPD Group said that the "gap between 360 sales and sales of the next best selling platform was the largest we've seen since December 2008 when the Nintendo DS was the top selling system".

Wii sold 860,000 units, 3DS 795,000 units and DS 350,000 units.

Software sales were dominated by Modern Warfare 3 which shifted a massive nine million across all platforms. Skyrim took second place, and in one month is about half a million units short of matching Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion in lifetime sales.

Battlefield 3 continues to sell well at No.3 and is now the best-selling title under the Battlefield property.

Assassin's Creed: Revelations is a new entry at No.4 with an estimated 1.26 million units sold during its first month - up by 10 per cent over Brotherhood.

If a console has games people will flock to it. I have faith in the next Xbox because it is BC. If the next Playstation is BC I might consider picking it up when it has a price drop to play a couple ps3 games. I do not see a reason to own the Vita and a PS4 though... Would much rather go 360-2 and Vita.

[QUOTE="ilovebumhair"]xbox is doomed next gen the ps3 keeps outselling it eveyr year and by the end of next year xbox will be in last place :Dwalkingdream

Wow am i back in 2005?

:shock:

Yeah, that was rather amusing. According to the last few months I could have sworn I saw the 360 leading all consoles in sales. Hmm..oh well. Microsoft seemed to let off of the gas when it comes to exclusives, maybe in favor of focusing on Kinect, so I do hope they shift the focus back on first party exclusives. That is one area where Sony and Nintendo shine. It seemed like at the beginning of the 360's launch they went all out, recruiting a lot of major developers to focus on their machine, but towards the later years they decided to let up. I think they may have the same blueprint for their next system. Have a really strong launch, with a lot of key exclusives, killer features, and of course Xbox Live. Then they will get a nice sized install base, the reap the benefits with the multiplatform titles.

I really hope your right about the next Xbox being backwards compatible! As far as the one PS3 exclusive that I would buy that system alone for is The Last Guardian!!

Microsoft makes too much money for the Xbox to be "doomed".
