Its a fact that so far the 360 is lacking in the games (mainly exclusives) department.

My question is, if the M$ E3 show fails to deliver, how will the rest of '09 turn out for them?

It depends on if the games shown at E3 will come out this year. Microsoft could show of some amazing and intense games, but it won't mean a whole lot if they don't come out this year.

I think everyone is over reacting. Even if no 360 exclusive game gets AA this year who cares? There is plenty of Multiplat games coming out that i can't wait to play. The 360 will still probably sell well too, more than the PS3 unless it gets a price drop.

If only one AAA game gets announced to come out this year for the 360 it will be bad. Its like a perfect storm where all the PS3 devs are making a game this year (Guirilla Games, Sucker Punch, Insomniac, Naughty Dog, and the God of war guys, forgot who they are). Then the 360's big hitters are taking the year off (no Forza, true Halo, or Gears). Its like the perfect storm for Sony.

360's popularity on System Wars seems to have no affect on its sales in the real world.

So my answer is no.

No sales will make or break 360 fate. but E3 could have a big affect on sales so maybe.

In the long run games affect salez if PS3 comes out with alot of exclusives and 360 doesnt you and me as a gamer know that we want a PS3 we are not going to setle for games of 2006/2007 system wars may not have no affect on salez but games do as a matter of fact PS3's popularity is rising especially with the release of Killzone 2, inFAMOUS and the news of God of War 3 and Gran turismo. fact is if xbox 360 don't deliver it could join the ranks of the original xbox.

I think this E3 will make or break the 360's fate, period. If Microsoft doesn't show, I could see the 360 falling to third place and remaining there.

Sales wise? It will sell the same steady amount of units regardless... In the eyes of gamers though, if all they release is ODST and a bunch of casual crap then hardcores may turn their backs on MS.

E3 is not the deciding factor of anything.

I agree with that, but at the same token, just because games get AAAE on gamespot doesn't mean block buster sales and vice verca....Take a game like Halo Wars for example and AE sold pretty well. As far as the PS3's popularity, The PS3 is selling less and less consoles each year (to be fare, all consoles are) and Killzone did not help that. And, The 360 has aready outdone the orignal Xbox so I doubt it will somehow lower it's ranks to join a console it already surpassed. Now, since I addressed your post, I'll ask you something. Do you honestly believe that the 360 wont have titles up there sleeves for this year and every year its out?

If Microsoft fails to deliver at this E3, then SW lemmings will be pissed just like sheep were with Nintendo last year.

If Microsoft doesn't deliver at E3, then i'm afraid to say my 360 will be getting traded in for a PS3. E3 might not affect peoples perception of the consoles or it's sales in the real world all that much, but if no good games are coming then I can see a lot of hardcore gamers that own 360's jumping ship.

In the real world they would be OK. It would just be a bad year for 360 fanboys on internet forums.

kind of....if they don't announce mgs+ oxide or gears 3 or halo 4, you may be looking at one of the worst years of 360 gaming since launch. they only have forza 3 (the only exclusive as far as i know coming out this year) alan wake (also on pc) and mass effect 2 (coming out on pc and q1 2010) to carry their library.

if im missing anymore 360 games add it on here....but they need a killer ip exclusive...so i'm pretty sure they are stealing some franchise away from sony...

"Fate" is kinda an over-dramatic word to use. The E3 will decide which fanboy group "pwns more" on the forumz, besides that, all three consoles will be fine.

Again, for the 20th time. The 360 has more exclusives so far this year than the PS3 or Wii. I think what you meant to say was "gamespot AAAE" games. Get it right nex time.
