2005- So, 360 is just out and has one AAA. What's left?
2006- So Gears of War is here along with some AA titles, great, what's left?
2007- So Halo 3, Ace Combat 6, Forza 2, and Mass Effect are here, along with even more AA-scoring titles, great, what's left?
2008- So Gears of War 2, Lost Odyssey, Braid, Fable II etc. etc.
2009- So ODST, Forza 3, etc. etc. etc. etc.
I be seeing a trend here...

[QUOTE="finalstar2007"]And the largest console library of AA+ scoring games, but, oooooh, we can't talk about that. :( This is about the future. No reasonable person would deny the quality of the current library of the Xbox 360 (or PS3 or Wii, for that matter). But, going forward, the Xbox 360 seems to be offering a lot less than its two major competitors. Wii is still fairly lacking in multiplatform titles, but the exclusives it has coming up are unmatched. And Sony has a pretty good exclusive library as well, but it also benefits from the fact that the vast majority of upcoming Xbox 360 games are also coming out for PS3.It got the multiplats! o and the XBLA fees!

agreed.
reasonable people limit themselves to a selection of ~7 games.

Besides, if you had money to buy only a couple of games per year, you probably wouldn't be buying a PS3 in the first place. Or that HDTV for that matter.
gears 3
fable 3- who cares
kingdoms- which i doubt ever happens
and a bunch of kinect games which will end microsoft as a game company.
kobraka1
pretty sure fable 2 outsold just about every ps3 exclusive... so clearly someone cares....

Bungie being gone is another big blow.
I think they might wait until around the time a successor to the 3ds and psp 2 is due. As long as the major handhelds don't outperform consoles, it won't seem ridiculous to the average consumer.

I'm sure Microsoft isn't planning on Kinect to get them there, and I'm sure they will have more for Christmas 2011 than Kinect-based games (whether Kinect is successful or not).
If they just let Kinect take over then they could potentially be abandoning the "hardcore" gamer going into the next-generation. They would have to do more than just promise a new Halo game for the new Xbox.

There is virtually zero chance of that happening. The home consoles are showing their age. All three are now subject to large scale piracy, they're falling further and further behind PC in terms of graphics, game sizes are getting bigger (which affects Nintendo and Microsoft more than Sony), and many technologies that were standard when the consoles were new are now becoming dated (Wireless-G, USB 2.0, SATA 1, Bluetooth 2.0/2.1, 2.4ghz Radio frequency, 720p standard output, DVD, etc). Further, as many developers have stated, it is difficult to introduce new intellectual properties this late into a console's lifespan. History shows that consumers are more willing to try new IPs near the launch of a new platform.[QUOTE="topgunmv"][QUOTE="savebattery"] That trend will be broken eventually, and Xbox 360 is due.

Essentially your arguement is based on technology instead of profit, which is all these companies care about. The 360 has been extremely profitable for microsoft as of late.

They could make a new perfect dark or Kameo, theirs so much potential their not using :( Or a exclusive Killer Instinct remake. That would be very nice! But I am really sick of everybody assuming that the 360 is now somehow doomed, because they don't have that many key exclusives lined up so far in the next year or so. The 360's lineup is so great right now that I'll have a hard time playing through all the games I have right now, so a slow down in games isn't going to hurt me, or any other gamer out there. It looks like the 360 is counting on tons of multiplats, a few exclusives, not to mention exclusive DLC, and this Kinect thing. I'm pretty happy with my game library right now, and if it does slow down I may just play my PS3.
