Hope so.... The 360 is still my main system of choice with multiplats, but seriously....

Remembre the days when Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, and Tales of Vesperia came out....AROUND all the great Halo, Gears, and Forza games?!?!

The 360 was the bee's knees. Now that MS has hit a sales milestone, I find myself purchasing more Sony exclusives despite the network downtime.

Sorry, what Microsoft views as "core" Kinect games doesn't translate to core for me.

Sure it is. There's no question that there are loads of great "core" multiplats this year, and there's Gears. The question though is, is it going to be great for "core" 360 gamers, when compared to "core" ps3 gamers who get all those multiplats, plus LBP 2, KZ 3, Socom 4, Yakuza 4, Motorstorm Apocalypse, inFamous 2, Resistance 3, Uncharted 3, Twisted Metal, and whatever else is coming out this year?

Absolutely utter tripe. Regardless of the quality of games, do you think he would really come out and say anything different? "Well sorry guys, but this year, well, it's going to be a rough one". Seriously, not news.

Dont forget Halo Combat Evolved remake and Forza 4 with Kinect support. Just to add a few. I am sure The Elder Scrolls will have some XBOX exclusive items or expansions too. MS had too put alot of eggs in the Kinect basket to get it off and running and now that it is doing awsome the have the time and money to pump into studios for more exclusives. This is a new begining!

I'm not even buying that. :o I mean, wasn't it always said that Sony's GT is like MS's Halo ? Heck, GT has sold kajillians over the years but I guess since this gen, there's a new sheriff in town that goes by the name of Forza, all of a sudden, the gen isn't popular ? Pfft, like I said, not buying it. :P

But what if a few of them are actually good? Gotta keeps ya hopes up... or better yet, keep them down. It would be all the better if MS does surprise us. At the start of this gen sorry forced on us a really stupid motion controller. Their Move isn't much better, there are no good core games made for it and the only good games only support it as an extra gimmick (I don't use Move but to my knowledge it isn't nearly as good as just using a controller).

I know they can do both pretty easily, it's sad that they have so much money but have such a weak first party studio lineup , there's really no excuse.
