Dance Central, Fable, Forza, Gears of War, Halo, PGR, and Viva Pinata.

On a side note I just listed every exclusive series on 360.

Have you ever tried to play on PS3 or 360 during server maintenance? Has your internet connection ever gone out? Do you ever move your console to your garage or grandmas house? There are tons of real-world scenarios where an internet connection isn't avaiable.

Forza Horizon 2
Crackdown 3
Halo Wars 2
Rallisport Challenge 3

They'll have new IP's and their usual incredible XBLA exclusive lineup as well. Would take a mighty powerful combination to overcome always-online and no used games though. In fact there might be no way to get past the no used games. That's just way too anti-consumer for me to support. Not unless they got some Steam type sales in the pipeline.

It's sad that I am such a big fan of Halo. I mean I guess that would be enough to keep me in the Xbox camp even though I also love other Microsoft-exclusives. While halo is why I bought Xbox and Xbox 360 Microsoft shouldn't rely on that. Halo just attracts players who enjoy Scifi/shooters. They should have have an open world RPG (in addition of Fable because Fable hasn't been that good since Fable 2 and more diverse arsenal of genres. Mass Effect was a mistake to lose as a exclusive game.

Nope. Never ran into service maintenance.

All my family live on the otherside of the continent so it's not an often occurance that I stay with them, I've got a fiber link going directly into my games room and use a premium gaming ISP which uses multiple backhaul providers so there is never any downtime.
If I do travel, it's not to play games that I can do at home, but to drink, catch-up with friends and family, have a barbie, go to the beach, see some strippers, that sort of thing, I won't be worried about playing games that's for sure. ;)

Sure you might miss an offline option, but don't presume everyone would be bothered by it.

None. There is not a single exclusive that would balance always-on for me (Please note that no exclusive made me buy the Xbox360 either, though).

None. Pretty much done with Halo.. (played all the mainline titles apart from 4) and not going to ever renew my Xbox Live sub. The only game MS has control over that I want is Alan Wake 2. But that will trickle its way down to PC, eventually.

To be perfectly honest, I don't know if I would buy the neXtBox even if it didn't block used games and require always online. Free multiplayer on XBL would help, but mandatory Kinect really puts a damper on things. I know I wouldn't have to use it, but the Kinect centered UI and the insane amount of ads have put me off immensely. I have only turned on my 360 in the past 2 months to check game-to-dashboard time and to download the NFS:MW demo, which was removed.

I originally bought the 360 for Perfect Dark Zero (sigh) and Oblivion because my PC couldn't run it. I didn't have the original Xbox so I eventually picked up Halo 1 and 2 to see what all the fuss was about. Each game after 3 has kept my interest less and less, and I feel like 3 only did so because it was the first one on the 360. I enjoy the game, but I eventually get bored if I'm not playing with my one friend who games.

I got bored with Gears after the second one, Forza has never interested me, Mass Effect is no longer exclusive and I'm worried for its future anyway, Fable went the opposite direction it should have (should have stayed more fantasy imo), 0 interest in Kinect, Rare is focusing on Kinect only now and Alan Wake was decent but not a system seller to me. I can't think of a single franchise exclusive that MS could pull out of nowhere that would make me go "OMG. I need to have this console when that comes out." regardless of always online being required or not.

It's a shame too, I used to really enjoy my 360 and now it collects dust. I played my Wii U more in Feb and I didn't buy any games for it until Runner 2 and MH3U/LCU in March.

Do they ? I think they owned the distribution rights for Alan Wake for some time and that is all. With the game underperforming on the 360 I wouldn't keep my hopes up for anything more than another "timed exclusive".

Remedy does indeed own the IP but I'm willing to bet that MS is going to fund the development for their next game, since the published the last one. Also, Alan Wake sold well on pretty well PC so there would be more interest in the franchise if they kept the timed console exclusive thing going. And then there's the rumours going around that the next AW installment being an Xbox exclusive.
