How did MS manage to screw up their 2009 so badly?

So let me get this straight, the 360 has nothing coming on the exclusive front for months and what it does have isn't looking like AA/AAA material. It's pretty arrogant of them to just sit back and rely on multiplats given that a PS3 price cut could kill that strategy.

Wait for E3, if it gets to that point, with nothing, then we can worry. I do believe they have some games coming in 2009, I just can't remember, as I don't follow it closely

Just Wait

There's something called E3, lems just have to wait for it.

this is where Sony's strategy comes into effect, their long term plan.

Yes it is March, but you are a fool if you think the development of a major title could be kept totally under wraps.

we are in the third month of the year :|Giancar

Well some games are deffinatley coming from Rare as they are working on four unnanounced projects currently. One of which I'm 90% sure is Perfect Dark 2.

I bet you'd get up and leave a baseball game in the 2nd inning if it was 2-0 because the other team was getting "blown out".

Stupid thinking like this is what turned GDC from a developer conference into a mini fanboyE3 hype game. I'm so disgusted with the conference this year. As for MS, they are fine, its March.

If it's Prefect Dark 2... I may have a breakdown. I miss that game so much on N64

Gears of War 2 was announced the same year it was released, and on a smaller note, Banjo-Kazooie for the Xbox Live Arcade was announced the same year it released as well.

[QUOTE="teh_cell"][QUOTE="Floppy_Jim"] Well, we already know about Forza 3 and 2 Rare games. They just haven't been shown yet.lawlessx

Gears 2 was widely know about prior to that. The problem now is that there isn't a peep about coming titles.

Teh_Cell, every day I see you make such annoying threads I want to scream. You have nothing but a very horrible bias opinion and I feel sorry for you that this what you want to write about every day.

Why do Sony fanboys seem to be the ones who are most outraged and outspoken by the lack of announced exclusives for the 360 in 2009?

Just asking.

It's March. If cows can wait 2 years to get a worthy game, then lems can wait 6 months to get worthy games on top of their already worthy games.

They all ready have a hot selling AA title (Halo Wars), if you are claiming they universally screwed up, at least use universal ratings like gamerankings or metacritic.

Keep in mind, if you only count AAe/AAAe as good titles, than both companies have only released one "good" game each this year.

Microsoft didn't screw up at all, Sony is just doing better. :)

And yea, wait till after GDC and then E3 to see what both sides REALLY have to offer.

If that person buys a PS3, they'll have no money left for games. So, you're still incorrect.

it doesnt make any sense to "wait until E3"...is microsoft against early publicity or something? the most i see as maybe a "surprise", will be at MOST, 1 game. if anythingPS3Fanaddict

yeah..microsoft will announce ONE game for the rest of 09. :roll:

"Yes, it's a big year for Halo fans starting with Halo Wars and then Halo 3: ODST, but if you look back at January 2008 when we started the year you'll see that as a company, our philosophy is that we try to under promise and over deliver," Greenberg told G4.

"We tend to save things until they're much closer to being ready to be brought to market, and I think that that is a little different than traditionally how this industry has worked."

He added: "Take the NXE for example. We showed it at E3 and a few months later we launched. We announced a lot of games at E3 that came at holiday - Lips, You're in the Movies, Scene It. We have a lot planned for 2009, but we absolutely have not shared what our line-up looks like."

this is where Sony's strategy comes into effect, their long term plan.
