Seriously! MS should continue to forget about creating new IP's and building/supporting the fan base that's gotten them this far. Just focus on the new! Sure Kinect is laggy and non-responsive, but who cares!? Just kick sooner! The games are priced right and are extremely high quality and appealing to everyone! It's not a problem there's no controller support, just shoot real guns and throw real grenades...I mean jump over clouds and pet kitty cats.

Who needs exclusives like Bioshock, Ace Combat, Mass Effect, PGR, Alan Wake, etc... or any development companies who've created the likes? They can just pay billions for timed exclusivity until it doesn't work anymore...and they bought Rare! Sure they'll lose a bundle in the long run by paying for 2/3rds effort IP's and never be able to count on anything or anyone, but they can make that money up by charging $60 for two year old games from Games on Demand! Awesome business plan!

Kinect is the difference maker... As long as we get Kinect support for THE LAST "exclusive" Gears of War and support for the yearly Forza and Halo games(who are now hiring and will probably rush it) then that's really all that's needed, right? That should be enough to build the best possible franchise. :) That should be enough to hold us over until Kinect 2.0 next gen! The management and desire to elevate Xbox goes unmatched. It's no wonder they are the world's most successful software company, and it truly shines through in their gaming! I would never switch to Sony... Nah, a shooter or two, selling more CoD, and Kinect is enough.
